7th 2 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a career-low mark for a yard that doesn't send many here and he is worth tracking in the market; seems on the downgrade, though, and he hasn't run at beyond 5f since 2023; others make more obvious appeal. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
He's on a career-low mark but has finished down the field on his three starts since making an encouraging return to action at Ripon in May; needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won 5f Ayr handicap off 6lb higher in May last year (5f, good to firm) but mainly disappointing since, including on last two starts; bit to prove at present. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Operated at a much higher grade in his prime; absent 615 days prior to returning to action in May and he has finished well beaten in three runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but need to see more before getting involved. |
33/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well handicapped on old form, but has shown little in two starts since returning from a long absence in May; just 1-36 on turf and hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Right behind Accrual here before justifying favouritism at Nottingham (5f) three days ago despite an awkward start; the penalty might just find him out. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ultra-consistent and arrives following a solid effort at Thirsk (same mark as tonight; his last winning rating); boasts a good record at this time of year and this is less competitive, so his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March; solid efforts on his last three starts and he should make a bold bid to win this race for the second season in succession. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is 0-14 this season, with mixed form, but there have been bright points and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; this two-time C&D winner is not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Nine-time turf winner who is well treated on his win at Catterick last spring; has been up and down since but he's finished runner-up four times this year including at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; could be dangerous in another switch of headgear. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |

Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |
15/2 |

1 (7) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on firm but seems suited by some give in the ground these days; sound run when about 3l fourth at Haydock last time on first run at this trip (good to soft); on a really good mark at present and one with a chance. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. |

Poor strike-rate and down the field in two runs back on turf this spring; latest Catterick effort easy to forgive though as he got it wrong at the start and then saw no daylight in the home straight, finishing with running left in him; this should be run to suit and he's handicapped to go well. |
