12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came at York when trained by Richard Hannon; denied a clear run when finishing fifth of ten at Sandown (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark but may be getting his act together. |

Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Kicks off for third trainer with a lot of racing under his belt (4-46); absent since April when well held on the AW, but this mark is workable and Billy Loughnane is booked. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

C&D win on soft last November; a couple of promising efforts this year and further rain won't hurt his chance; would be of more interest at a lower level though. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Proficient with cut underfoot (achieved three RPRs in 90s on soft/heavy, 5f-6f); absent since finishing third to Rock Of England at Ripon (5f, good) in June; capable from this mark if ready to roll; consult the market. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |
12/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

Front-running veteran who has won 11 times; his last success was off 4lb higher at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's been disappointing since and needs to get back on track. |

6th 6 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-running veteran who has won 11 times including over C&D; got pestered for the lead at Catterick last time but he's been disappointing since his win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and others are preferred. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Two of 11 wins have been over C&D; latest success was at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but rather disappointing since; has a bit to prove. |

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. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Never involved in a Class 4 at York last time but this veteran was in good form before that, including a win at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) and three seconds; still looks on a workable mark and he has possibilities on this drop back in grade. |
14/1 |
|
12th 17 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Plucky veteran who retains plenty of vim and vigour, another fine run when second in amateurs' race at Doncaster last time; 3lb out of the weights but has finished third in the last two runnings of this event and has each-way possibilities once more. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Veteran who has returned from a break in fine form and won by a length over this far at Wetherby (good to firm); back up 4lb but had dropped to a good mark. |

10/1 |

17th 19 (19) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Placed twice in Class 6 last month but failed to live up to market expectations at Carlisle last week, extending his long losing run; this 9yo needs to raise his game, back up in grade. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; the latest of his nine wins came in Hamilton handicap (5f, soft) in September 2024 and that was off a mark 24lb higher than today's; solid third behind Royal Duke over this C&D two weeks ago and the recent rain will be in his favour; cheekpieces return for the first time since 2022 and he's respected. |

Suited by the drop to a Class 5 at Redcar on penultimate 2024 start, finally adding to his debut win; not judged too harshly on reappearance effort behind Thunder Star as he went without blinkers; the aids are back on today but he's drawn wide. |

5th 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Last-gasp winner on AW at Lingfield (7f) in February but she's struggled since and was last of six at Catterick two weeks ago; that took her turf record to 1-23 and she has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In good form on AW over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f); 1lb lower than for the latter win but she hasn't maintained her form back on turf this summer, including behind Velvet Rhythm over C&D 16 days ago. |

C&D winner last July, but he's yet to fire this season and came in last of eight at Newcastle (5f) last time; tongue-tie goes on now with lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |
