24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |

4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
With blinkers added he finished runner-up from similar marks at Doncaster (1m, good) and Nottingham (1m, heavy) in the summer, but twice well held since (back in cheekpieces last time); now 0-13 and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

12th 6 (4) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed on latest outing six weeks ago and now 0-12 but lost out only by a neck off today's mark at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy; also suited by good) two starts ago and has obvious claims if back at that level here; blinkered for last three runs; cheekpieces refitted today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-11 and needs to prove he can get the job done but he's returned to form in these blinkers the last twice, finishing second at Doncaster (1m, good) and Nottingham (1m, heavy); can give another good account. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner who is 0-13 on turf, but she returned from a break with a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and is a big player if she can back that up. |
9/1 |
|
1 (6) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Two 7f AW wins last August/September and she went close on turf in between; however, she was below par at Southwell (7f, AW) in February after 112 days off and returns from another break today. |

9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four of his five wins have been at Beverley and they include this race 12 months ago; only fourth of six here ten days back but that was a Class 5. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four of his five wins have been at this track (two over C&D); returned to form following a couple of lesser efforts when fourth at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but he was behind Roaring Ralph on that occasion. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins and 0-18 on turf after finishing second to Travis at Redcar; the winner comfortably had his measure but a 5lb pull could make it interesting. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come on AW and he is 0-17 on turf, though he has been placed in both visits here including when beaten just a short head over this trip last October; each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
5th 14 (16) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win came at this venue a year ago; largely consistent this season and has made the frame in two C&D contests since wearing cheekpieces, good second latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D nursery last October and has made the frame on five of his six starts this year, most recently when fourth over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) this month; 1lb lower today and likely to be on the premises again. |
