19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner; on a losing run but he has run several good races in defeat this year, including here; more minor money on the cards. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

Beaten under 1l when third of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now made the frame six consecutive times; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A seven-time C&D scorer; arrives in good nick, posting a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; a likely player again eased 1lb. |

3rd 9 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |
11/1 |

Prolific winning veteran, mostly over 1m on a sound surface; most recent success came in this race last year, when 8lb higher; supported when a close second at Ripon latest start; respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |
33/1 |

13th 11 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored three times at 1m in 2023 and he arrives in very good nick, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap nine days ago; he must enter calculations off the same mark from his inside berth. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who is 0-7 this year; however, he's run some good races and won three times in 2023; each-way contender off a reduced mark. |
