Tough 6yo with seven wins to his name; beaten favourite at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last time but shaped quite nicely, keeping on into second place after a slow start and meeting trouble; place possibilities again at the very least. |

Held up; exposed 6yo who is 6-27 on AW surfaces but 1-13 on turf; however, that solitary turf win was over C&D (2024) and he wasn't far away back on turf for last three outings; case can be made. |

A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six turf wins include one here (1m2f, good to firm) in August; had wind surgery before a fair comeback at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when fifth of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; drop back in trip no reason to rule him out and he's respected. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

In good form with a pair of 1m2f fast-ground wins last summer; ought to be sharper for Doncaster reappearance 13 days ago and on a workable mark if back close to his best. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |
|
10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at around 1m2f on good or quicker; last success was off 5lb lower but he reappeared with a fair third in Class 4 event over C&D (good to soft) last month; should go well on this drop back in grade and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he may have been ready for a break; on a handy mark based on his form last August and could be a contender for last year's winning yard. |
14/1 |

9 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Chester last time but won over the 1m2f there in August and was placed in his next two runs; effective on the AW but others might be better in here. |

9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
12-time turf winner including over C&D; hasn't made a serious impact in his two runs (1m) this season but he's now back on last winning mark and could be dangerous back up in trip; one of three runners for the yard. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Fair Flat racer who was 3-6 during first season over hurdles, the last two wins gained from the front in handicaps (2m/2m1f); well beaten when upped in grade at Cheltenham in April and absent since but may still have more to offer. |
13/2 |

15th 13 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Raised in grade after dominating single-figure fields at Ludlow (good to soft) and Fontwell (good), making most on both occasions; a collective rise of 17lb (Freddie Keighley claimed the 10lb last time) could spell danger but hard to dismiss. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
His two wins last August/September (including here) came over 1m2f but he travelled well when fourth over 1m1f here (good to firm) on his recent return to action, when short of room close home, and he may have versatility in terms of trip; interesting contender. |
11/2 |

4th 6 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Ayr (good; cheekpieces on) and Newcastle (tongue-tie and cheekpieces) last term; some fair AW runs after that but off since January and perhaps best watched this time (no cheekpieces). |
12/1 |
|
7 (2) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr in August and he responded well to a tongue-tie when scoring over C&D the following month; still looks feasibly treated but he flopped here (last of nine) and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort. |

Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today. |

Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |

Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |

2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Runner-up three times last season, including in a big field over C&D (good), and he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Ripon; however, this is a tough contest in which to try to snap a 13-race losing run. |

Two AW wins in the winter (1m2f/1m3f) and continued the good work when easily making all in three-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m4f, good) recently after a break; 6lb higher in a much hotter race today but this progressive 5yo comfortably dispatched an in-form rival last time and is not ruled out. |
