10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year; promising third at Ayr last month but she hasn't built on it in two subsequent outings; sneaking down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 25 starts who hasn't been doing himself justice of late but he wasn't too far away in a better C&D race than this (good) in June and a repeat of that form would see him close up. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up at Redcar (7f, soft) in May and fair third here (1m, good) next time; has possibilities judged on those efforts but two lesser runs have followed and he's now 0-24; needs to get back on track. |

5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Poor maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear since starting his career in bumpers; has done a lot of his racing on soft ground, so any rain would likely suit, but he's hard to recommend either way. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Half his ten starts were on turf but all those were on soft and his form dropped off markedly on last two outings; recent headgear is removed; 9lb lower than on handicap debut and the ground should be different. |
20/1 |
|
12th 11 (10) |
27th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 5yo who saw his run of good form come to an end when tenth in 7f Catterick handicap four days ago; needs to get back on track. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest 2-34 career strike-rate and needs to rebound from a poor run here in December but her C&D second two starts ago was a good effort and she has obvious claims if judged on that performance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
AW winner last September and in March (1m2f); a straggler over hurdles, hence the rock-bottom mark (and 4lb wrong today) but she's willing on the Flat and she might well fare much better now handicapping. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Two wins for Peter Niven this year, the second of them a wide-margin success over C&D in April; unplaced in two turf runs for Roger Fell but could fare better back on AW. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (14) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins at around 1m on AW this year; 1-22 on turf but he was only beaten a short head at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April (his final start for Peter Niven); seventh of 12 in this grade at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) on stable debut 22 days ago; place chance. |
