1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope. |

3rd 2 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 AW; close third off this mark here (6f; 12-1) in June; has left Michael Keady for 3,000gns since last appearance; interesting to see how he responds to the change of scenery. |

Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |

3rd 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |

4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

Capable of running well but he's not as good as he was and is becoming hard to predict. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Not as good now but is straightforward and arrives in form, having made a lot of the running off this mark at Newcastle last time; holds claims on that. |

3rd 5 (8) |
28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner who went back-to-back on turf last spring and wasn't far away in two sprints before a lesser show at Thirsk last time; has a big run in him. |

Had only won over 7f but put that right over this far at Wolverhampton when always in a good position; just 3lb higher for that half-length success and the second has won since. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024. |
33/1 |

11th 11 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a victory since 2023 and he has yet to make the frame in seven starts in 2026; hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Minor classified form at 1m, 7f and 6f this year and it's 13 months since he posed a serious threat in a handicap (over 7f at Southwell); up against it. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |
25/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate over the last four years and current mark reflects a decline in his form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton last January and now 8lb lower; however, he's hard to fancy on his recent form and is unproven at this trip. |
7/1 |
