15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April but has finished down the field twice since; bounce back needed. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair 5f scorer who got back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April; not best drawn when tenth in 5f Thirsk handicap since and remains one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |
9/2 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won off this mark at Newcastle (5f; 7-1; first-time visor) last September but mostly disappointing since until chasing home Beerwah at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 16-1) five weeks ago; is 5lb better off with that rival here; one of two for trainer Michael Dods. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |
12/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |
14/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

Two-time winner on turf; unplaced in all six AW starts but there has been some promise on Tapeta at Newcastle; others more persuasive this time. |

8th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

12-time winner, latest on AW in March (6f); fair running-on third over 5f here last time (good; Woohoo, who runs in the 2.30, was second); contender back up in trip. |
9/2 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner; returned from a break with a solid fifth in 5f Hamilton handicap last month; this reliable sort is a player off a 2lb lower mark here with Eireann Cagney up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C&D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
It's now 13 starts since he scored over C&D last July and he's largely been below par this season, seventh of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 11 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

8st 13lb |
Three 5f wins to his name, one of them at this track, but unplaced in six runs over 6f+; finished behind stablemate Whiskey Kisses over C&D last week; new cheekpieces not enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 5f on good ground, latest at Musselburgh last August; hasn't been in top form this term, best run when third at Musselburgh in June (5f); bit to prove, including his stamina. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins at 5f on good ground; not quite nailing it this year and it's up in the air as to whether this is his trip, having been well held in sole previous attempt, over C&D in April 2025. |

9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player. |
3/1 |

2nd 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
2-29; her best form is on soft, even heavy, ground; runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last October; hasn't offered much in four starts since, finishing seventh (two places behind Kyber Crystal) at odds of 50-1 at Carlisle latest. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have come on ground on the soft side of good, but she does handle good to firm; back off her last winning mark, but she finished over 20l behind Lady Bouquet on her Catterick reappearance 15 days ago; first-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Last season ended with two poor runs and she's without a win since October 2024; however, that came over C&D and her best performance last season also came here; not written off on her reappearance. |
