1st 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored five times last season (twice over C&D) but yet to hit top form this term, just a fair fifth of nine to Daring Leader at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ten-time winner; kept on for never-dangerous fifth, beaten under 3l, when favourite for the latest Beverley race won by Anificas Beauty; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo mare whose C&D form includes one of her five wins last term and a resurgent effort on penultimate start; latest race didn't pan out favourably; runner-up in this contest three years ago; likely player. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won here (6f, good to soft) as a 2yo but 0-9 since and has a patchy record, finishing a close third at Carlisle (1m) on his penultimate run but tailed off at Pontefract since; others are more convincing. |
25/1 |
|
14th 15 (10) |
9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Redcar (6f, good to soft) as 2yo but lightly raced since and was returning from another absence when close third of eight at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) last month; 2lb higher but each-way claims if building on that. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins came over this trip on the AW at the start of the year, but he has made the frame several times on turf; was found to be coughing after running poorly at Thirsk ten weeks ago; can go well fresh and not easily dismissed. |
12/1 |
|
13th 6 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of his four races on the AW this year (at 7f) and has comparable form on turf; wasn't beaten far last month at Newcastle despite losing a shoe. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made it two wins from three starts this year when picking up well to lead towards the finish over C&D 16 days ago; the third (Call Glory), fourth and fifth in that race have all run well since so the form has bit of substance; respected up 2lb. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |
33/1 |
|
9 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m, soft) last September and now 4lb lower but she's struggled on her four starts this year (two hurdles, two Flat). |

10th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner for David O'Meara and twice ran with credit at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) a year ago, but five efforts on turf for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 (10) |
12th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times last year (all 1m), including when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth on first start for Michael Wigham; mixed fortunes lately and has work to do with Coloane from Pontefract in July, so it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, who's generally struggled this time; is among the lowest rated and could have done with some rain ideally. |

Won this race off a 7lb higher mark in 2023; bit disappointing so far this season, including over C&D last time; stable going well so no surprise if she were to bounce back. |

21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he's finished runner-up in last four starts and he ran into a handicap blot at Salisbury (1m2f, soft; first-time visor) last Saturday; was no match for the winner in that race but he pulled clear of the third and still looks on a workable mark; key player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't help himself by racing too freely and remains a maiden after nine runs but came second three times last month (8.3f-1m2f, good to firm) and is likely to be right in the thick of things again here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; handles good to soft, unraced on anything slower. |

Ended a losing run when coming from off the pace to beat Channel Packet in a Wolverhampton classified event (extended 1m) in January; not so good since and don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

In an open-looking race, the unpenalised five-time course winner POET’S DAWN, who acts well on slow ground, is taken to beat hat-trick seeking Hostelry and the in-form Sezaam.[Colin Russell]
