19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 out of sorts after 1m2f Wetherby success last June; off 11 months before coming in a well-held eighth of 11 in 1m1f Carlisle handicap on his return last month; this course scorer needs to take a major step forward. |

Absent since a dismal effort on soft ground last July and again has a doubt over the forecast surface; has gained both turf wins on good to firm. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got back on the scoresheet when making virtually all for a narrow success at Wetherby (1m2f) last month; finished a tailed-off last of five at Nottingham seven days later but that may have come soon and it was an experiment at 1m6f; now drops back in trip and has claims if he can bounce back. |

10yo who has been beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2024 but he's been runner-up a few times this year (including here) and was third at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; has a career-low mark; each-way chance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Dual course winner (including at this trip) whose best run this term came when fourth to Krissy over C&D on his penultimate start; didn't build on it over 1m here next time, though. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Veteran who ran his best race of the campaign when fourth over 1m1f here last month; should run his race again but might have to make do with some minor money. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
11yo who has plenty to prove on the evidence of this year's three runs; however, he's 6lb lower than when winning at Redcar last October and perhaps the return to Carlisle will trigger a revival, with his course form figures reading 4106231. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 1-11 but he's well handicapped on his best form last season and was beaten less than 2l when fifth in a Class 4 at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; hood is now removed but he could be dangerous on this drop back in grade. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (8) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten after racing far too freely on heavy ground here (12.3f; first-time hood) in June and needs to settle better today but ran well on both previous Chester starts and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m2f winner in 2023 who shaped well on his seasonal return when fourth of seven over C&D last month; he can make his presence felt with a hood added. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |
7/1 |

12th 3 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't always looked straightforward but found things falling his way when winning narrowly off 2lb lower on Polytrack two weeks ago; fine on Tapeta but his jockey, who doesn't claim, has only ridden twice under rules, including once over hurdles in Ireland. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two-time course scorer who came in a close third at Ayr (Off Spin in second) before extending her run of good efforts with a close fifth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there 13 days ago; a player once more eased 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
5th 11 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f); not the force of old but returned from break with respectable runs of late, most recently when a never-nearer third over C&D (good) yesterday; should be in the thick of it if turning out again. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (8) |

9st 6lb |
C&D scorer in 2024; back in good form of late, runner-up in nine-runner handicap over C&D 16 days ago; a likely player again, nudged up 1lb. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won by 4l when upped to 1m4f at Catterick (good to soft) in June but he shot up the weights after that and was only forth of seven in a Class 5 at Chester last time; this drop back in trip should be fine but he needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |
8/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
First run over 1m4f and on a sharp left-handed track when comfortably coming clear at Catterick (good to soft) latest, which followed two seconds; strong in the market last time and an 8lb rise is hard to moan about. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eyecatching third at Wetherby in April (1m, soft) in a Class 6 handicap that has worked out ridiculously well; only second in two runs since (1m, good to firm and 1m1f, soft), not looking entirely straightforward, but he has more than enough ability to win races off this mark; stamina not assured but the new trip is worth a look; contender. |

Nine-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Newcastle in February off a 1lb lower mark; beaten 1l when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and his last two efforts have been respectable; each-way chance. |

Second in the 2024 running of this; nine wins include five on turf, all around this trip on a sound surface; won at Newcastle (AW) in February and it was a fine effort from the widest stall when second of 14 at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) 11 days ago; big shout. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Nine-race maiden who is bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and was a keeping-on second at Chelmsford (1m6f) 11 days ago; only 1lb higher and he's not ruled out on this step up to 2m. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Fair effort on his only AW start (9.5f); bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and recorded just about his best effort upped to 1m4f when second at Catterick (good to firm) two starts back; not so good over that trip at Beverley (good) next time, though, and he's got a bit to prove up in distance again. |
