20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around but he wasn't beaten far at Carlisle 11 days ago and cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
7/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around, typically blowing the start, but it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue were he to bounce back in this company. |
8/1 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Not one to rely on but he hinted at a revival with fifth of nine over C&D 16 days ago; a three-time C&D scorer so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins (7f/1m) in August 2024; best run last season was when second over C&D last May (good to firm); could bounce back from a below-par reappearance run last month. |
11/4 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Largely consistent 8yo who tends to race a bit too freely and is usually ridden patiently; suited by this C&D and quite versatile ground-wise but absent since slightly disappointing run 13 months ago. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D and is 5lb lower than for the latest a year ago; well beaten in his last two visits, though, so has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D (from 11 visits to Pontefract) and latest was off 3lb higher last July; he therefore cannot be comfortably dismissed despite being well held on all three starts (two here) this term. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran with plenty of course form to his name; third of nine over 1m here last week (winner Runninsonofagun runs in the 4.00); one of three runners for the stable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |

Veteran who has won three of his 58 races on turf, the latest over this trip at Musselburgh last September (good); has been a bit disappointing this season. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a C&D winner but has question marks over current form and whether he's still capable of cutting any mustard aged ten; gives classified grade a whirl. |

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. |

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. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
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. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

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. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) last November but this year's Flat form has been disappointing and he was pulled up (albeit on soft ground) when making handicap hurdle debut in selling grade in July. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Scored on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) in November and was very respectable third over same C&D the following month; still unexposed in this sphere but this year's Flat form has been substandard. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Two solid runner-up efforts in 2026 and he won't mind what the weather does; sneaking up the weights but no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good go. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |

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 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
