23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; on the same mark as for his Nottingham win in May; quiet more recently but this should be run to suit and his ability isn't in doubt. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins this year, latest at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower than today; among the backmarkers on his last three outings, trying cheekpieces on first occasion and a hood on latest (joining the usual tongue-tie); does without either tonight but he's too inconsistent for comfort. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins this year, the latest from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; should get a good pace to aim at, but he needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser performances; hood now added. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Sole success came when trained by Ed Walker in May 2024; down to a career-low mark but hasn't threatened on his recent starts on AW. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when second of nine over C&D last September, but not built on it (mainly over further) since; return to this trip may help, but he is 0-17 since his successful handicap debut. |
50/1 |

12th 8 (9) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success from 20 starts came at Brighton (7f) in May 2024; reportedly unsuited by front-running at Wolverhampton last month but he did shape more encouragingly under more patient tactics at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago. |

On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has a poor strike-rate but went close at Ripon last weekend and holds a fighting chance in this grade; gained sole handicap win off 5lb higher. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |
2/1 |

1st 8 (1) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114). |
3/1 |

4th 10 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
In better form than her form figures imply as she's been finding her share of trouble; running style lends itself to that but capable of having a say should the breaks come at crucial times; goes well at this track. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D (off 1lb higher) last summer and at Pontefract this spring but has proved inconsistent otherwise during that period; no banker to give his running. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a good low draw and she's 3lb lower than when winning at Sandown last September; however, she's failed to beat a rival on her three outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
5yo who is lightly raced for her age and won twice last year (6f/5f, good to firm/good); well beaten at Haydock in June on sole run this season but may have needed that outing and is not written off today. |
