14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Arrives on a hat-trick after successes (around 1m) in handicaps at Carlisle and Beverley last month; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1st 7 (6) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise. |
7/2 |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |
11/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Loves it here and he's fine from this trip up to 1m4f; placed over the extended 1m here in May before finding the ground too slow at Carlisle; a wide draw isn't ideal, though. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed her seventh win when scoring at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but has run below par at Ripon and Musselburgh since; the step back in trip is also unlikely to play to her strengths. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Has form over 1m2f but was below par (behind Westernesse) returned to this trip last week when bidding for a Ripon hat-trick; still seeking first success beyond 1m. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m handicap wins here recently; up 3lb but he's effective at this longer trip and not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Scored off lower marks on turf and AW last term; inconsistent this season but is interesting on his penultimate effort, namely third at Ripon behind a pair of subsequent scorers. |
