8th 6 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time turf winner; rather inconsistent this season; has a chance on his third here in August (1m, good) but this softer ground against him. |
13/2 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (7f/1m) who acts on good to firm and good to soft; did well to finish a close third after missing the break at Hamilton (8.3f) nine days ago but he's not easy to predict and was always behind over C&D on Saturday night; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
8th 12 (12) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Talented and well treated; multiple wins include two over C&D; nearly all his wins under Paul Mulrennan, who prefers Sanafi Zabeel, but he's also gone well for Lauren Young and ran creditably for her at Hamilton last week; the likely strong pace will suit and he's capable of a big run. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Mainly campaigned over shorter but does stay this far; 399 days off before this season; never-never fourth of seven at Musselburgh (7f) last night was probably his most positive display since; back on his last winning mark. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Not fired in two runs back from a 399-day absence; has won at this track and he is on a handy mark so not impossible he'll bounce back, for all the trip is on the sharp side. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Last four wins over 1m at Pontefract but he has placed on all three course visits and he arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Redcar (1m, good) last weekend; has won on good to soft; enters calculations. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Four-time winner at Pontefract where he was competitive last month; for whatever reason he never gave his running last week at Thirsk. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

Record is 2-18; best efforts this season when third at Ayr in July/August; filled same position in this contest last year; likely player if back in similar form. |

Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |
33/1 |

13th 11 (8) |

Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 1m4f winner in 2023 but he's yet to hit top form this term, tenth of 12 in 1m Ayr handicap ten days ago; needs a step forward. |
20/1 |

10th 10 (4) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Just the one win from 13 and that was over 1m4f last August; quiet this year and now runs over 1m, the shortest trip he's contested since 7f debut; risky enough. |

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. |
100/30 |
|
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 |

2 (6) |
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. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who hasn't progressed from a close fourth on the AW last winter; hopes rest on the visor turning things around on this step up in trip (cheekpieces didn't do much for her). |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in all three starts over 6f/7f on the Newcastle Tapeta late last year, but has gone the wrong way since including on last month's reappearance/turf debut; enough to prove in the returning cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Solely raced on Tapeta, though on pedigree turf will suit; 3lb lower now than for December's close Newcastle fourth (7f), but refusal to settle three times either side of that tempers confidence in her capitalising. |
