21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Regressive 9yo; beaten around 4l on his last two starts and needs to up his game to trouble the principals. |

Down to a basement mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but it's been a long time since this regressive 9yo has been competitive. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
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. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D scorer who got back to winning ways when making all in 5.5f handicap at Bath 22 days ago; has a career-high mark to overcome now but can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two of her six turf wins have been here, one over this distance; hasn't really finished off her races this year but is now 3lb below her last winning mark so cannot be discounted. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
5.5f course winner (firm) who arrives on the back of a revived 5f win at Chepstow (good to firm); up 3lb for that but has won several times from higher marks and has to be taken seriously. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has eight wins on turf but losing run is mounting up; needs to rediscover his form. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Carlisle (5f) in May but he's been well below par over C&D and at Newcastle since; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit and miss but it was career win number nine when narrowly scoring at Carlisle 17 days ago (5f, good), coming from off the pace; 4lb higher here. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |
20/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |
10/1 |
