21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
7f specialist who made all at Doncaster (good to firm) in August and ran just as well when second at Thirsk three weeks later; edging up the weights but again likely to be thereabouts. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |
8/1 |
|

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

Sole win was at Redcar in June 2023 (7f, good); beaten a nose in same Redcar handicap this year and went down by a short head in a C&D fillies' handicap last time; each-way contender. |
3/1 |

11/4 |

2nd 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 13 starts but that came over C&D (good) last June and she's finished placed in two of her three runs this season; on same mark as for her staying-on third at Doncaster (6f, good) last time and she's respected back up in trip. |

Better effort when a front-running fourth at Newcastle last week (1m); returning to 7f no problem but others appeal more for win purposes. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ran well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; not so good in either run since, the latest over C&D two weeks ago; not ruled out but not the most solid option either. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Belatedly came good with two 1m1f wins last summer and looked back in prime form when close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but his latest run was slightly disappointing and others in the field have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |

Dual 1m1f winner last August (good); improved markedly on reappearance run when neck second at Pontefract last week (1m2f, good); a possible on that form. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

6 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |
14/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Scored at Doncaster (7f) in August and has returned from a ten-week break in good nick, not enjoying the rub of the green when sixth of nine over C&D 39 days ago; he can make his presence felt. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

9th 3 (11) |
25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |
