11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed 6yo who concedes weight to 3yo rivals but brings positives, being the only C&D scorer in the field and a winner off 2lb higher in most recent attempt in this grade. |

Strike-rate of 7-50; won off this mark in March but well beaten in three of his four subsequent runs and has become hard to predict. |

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 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing run but made the frame at Ayr (1m, soft) 12 days ago and ran another good race when second back at Ayr yesterday; should go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
His losing run goes back all the way to May 2024 and he's regressed this year; however, his recent third here (1m, soft) was a step back in the right direction and this two-time course winner is another 2lb lower today; might be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time winner (two here) who is stuck on a losing run and hasn't been in great form this year; merely mid-division in a first-time visor (retained) here yesterday. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
He has been placed in all three outings here, including when caught close home in this race last year; last success came on AW in December but he was second again over C&D (good) in June and comes here off after a good effort over 1m on AW (reapplied cheekpieces) three weeks ago; can go well providing those drawn low aren't favoured. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed a few times over 7f this term, including at Newcastle latest start when shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; possibilities off last winning mark. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

All three wins have come over 7f on Tapeta including one here; just 1lb higher than when successful at Southwell in December and very much respected back on this surface. |

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. |
