26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
6f win here last season; best effort this year came over C&D but she wasn't able to build on it last time and there is other pace to contend with in this field. |
16/1 |

19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has generally struggled since her Ripon win (6f, good) last September but she showed signs of a revival when third there (5f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if she can build on that but she's drawn out wide here and could have competition for the lead. |

5th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent filly who's done most racing over 6f and finished well held in a few tries over this trip; is now 4lb lower than when winning here last autumn but she's generally struggled this season. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to improve on his 2025 efforts; however, won this race (off 4lb higher) last year and has a good chance if back to that form. |

9st 11lb |
Made it sixth-time lucky when landing C&D handicap (good) in June and placed in two of three runs since, including a rallying third at Ripon (6f) three weeks ago; has form on soft and interesting back at 7f. |

Off the mark with 7f win on seasonal debut at Redcar (good) in June, after a break, and placed off today's mark over that trip at Ayr (soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but, after only seven runs, he's not yet fully exposed. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |

ducked right start, soon led, clear after 2f, going best when switched to near side over 2f out, ridden against near rail over 1f out, much reduced lead inside final furlong, no extra when headed final 110yds |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten a nose by Mrs Trump in this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not at his best this year but his Redcar fourth in May offered hope he could add to his 11 wins. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his tenth turf win when scoring at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; now 2lb lower than for that success but he's been short of spark in three runs this season and needs to raise his game. |

Three wins for previous yard; largely unconvincing form for current stable and chance depends on how well he reacts to new headgear. |

Multiple winner down the years but is 0-7 this term and her form has declined to some degree, as current mark reflects; drops back to Class 6 for the first time in a while. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |
12/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |
14/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

Carlisle novice winner last season (6f, good); close fourth in a Thirsk fillies handicap last time (6f, soft); drop to 5f shouldn't be a problem and quite interesting in first-time cheekpieces. |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |
