25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Looked a fair prospect when winning both handicap starts in June but didn't improve for the step up to 1m2f turned out quickly last time; drop back in distance should help and no surprise to see him go well, despite going up in grade. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, good) on handicap/seasonal debut and at this track (1m, good to firm) eight days later; came from off the pace on both occasions, leaving it late last time, and there's clear scope for further improvement with this step up in trip; has 6lb penalty but good chance to complete a quick hat-trick. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seen only four times this year, with best run his close second of six in modest race at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) two starts ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ran best race this year when second at Carlisle last time (7f, good to soft); could go well, but ideally suited by some give in the ground and perhaps better at 7f. |

Now 10lb lower than when winning over Haydock's 7f last July and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) latest; he has soft-ground form if going back far enough. |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Ties in with some of today's rivals on recent C&D form but is still seeking a first success at this trip; has gained all Beverley wins over the extended 1m. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A four-time scorer over 8.5f here (including twice in May); recorded another very good effort with second of six to Tattie Bogle over C&D 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Has registered most wins on AW but ran creditably last Saturday when bidding for a Thirsk (1m) double; this 8yo remains in form and is still well treated on historical data. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

First and second in 1m3f handicaps at Southwell before unsuited by the drop back to 1m at Ripon; he's fine on turf and could be given another chance. |

5th 9 (14) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things. |
7/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D and is 5lb lower than for the latest a year ago; well beaten in his last two visits, though, so has something to prove. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D (from 11 visits to Pontefract) and latest was off 3lb higher last July; he therefore cannot be comfortably dismissed despite being well held on all three starts (two here) this term. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promise in two novice events at around 1m on soft/heavy as a 2yo; was then absent for 570 days and has finished well beaten on both outings since (7f, 1m, tailed off on good to firm last time); should do better back on easier ground; up markedly in trip. |
20/1 |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Placed in both starts in 2022; missed 2023 and seemed to need his reappearance run eight weeks ago; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut (raced only on soft/heavy). |
