19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won plenty down the years, often on soft turf in the summer, but time has looked to be catching up this season, latterly when comfortably held behind We've Got This early in the month. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |

Dual course winner for Marco Botti (7f/1m); bumped into very progressive rival when second at Southwell (1m) in March then changed hands for 17,000gns later that month; player if still in same form for new stable. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow winner of 7f maiden handicap at Carlisle in July; solid effort over C&D next time but his form has dipped the last twice; returning to a shorter trip can help though and he's now 1lb lower than for his win; respected. |
5/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark over 7f here in July but only eighth (possibly found run coming too quickly) in 1m2f handicap at Pontefract 22 days ago; he's worth another chance. |
5/1 |
|
9 (4) |
7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) last month on second handicap start and close sixth of 11 at Newcastle (1m, AW) 11 days ago; goes up in trip today and he's unraced on good/good to firm ground, but this unexposed 3yo represents an in-form trainer and he's not ruled out. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Veteran with a splendid 17 wins to his name; one of them came over C&D but he's probably better elsewhere and he beat only two home here ten days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (4) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who was completing a summer hat-trick when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) in August; back in form when third over that C&D (soft) three weeks ago and he's already down to his last winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

Has a modest strike-rate but won over C&D (soft) in April; largely consistent since, solid second off this mark at Sandown (1m, good; behind a subsequent winner) most recently; one for the shortlist. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Opened his account in Newcastle handicap (1m2f; third run for new yard) most recently and looked value for more than the half-length winning margin; may have more to offer over middle distances; respected back up 5lb. |
6/4 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

0-10 and hasn't built on early promise, including in two starts for this yard; drops again in grade but enough to prove back from 74 days off. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won 11 races, two of them over C&D; comes into this in fair form (second at Beverley last week) and as she acts on any ground, is one to consider. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner, including over C&D, and is versatile regarding going; latest success came in an Ayr classified event (1m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month; blew the start and never a factor back in handicap company latest; has the ability to have a big say from this mark. |
100/30 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove. |

Hard to crab his record on AW, winning three times and regularly placed; he'll need a good pace back at 7f but that could be on the cards. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Enhanced his fine Beverley record with a win over the extended 7f last month but a 0-16 AW record suggests that even a 2lb nudge may leave him vulnerable for win purposes here. |
12/1 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His four course wins (8.4f) have all come in the month of May; creditable third 24 days ago but more will be needed back up in class. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August. |
14/1 |
|
2 (15) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Wins have all come in April but there was nothing wrong with his Doncaster second off 2lb lower a month ago, when clear with a subsequent winner; not always been the most consistent, though, and would have preferred some rain. |
6/1 |
|
1 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Harriet Bethell in April last year, over 1m at Newcastle and over 7f on soft here (won by 4l); has changed yards twice since (bought for 2,000gns in October); won again at Wolverhampton in April (7f) but hasn't done quite as well since. |
