27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Ran poorly on his reappearance at Salisbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; best efforts give him a squeak and he is effective on AW but others appeal more for win purposes. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |

Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |

Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has made no impact on good to firm going on his last three starts but his two encounters with slow ground have produced positive results, specifically a Listed third at York (6f, soft) last October and a handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) this July; blinkers go on; interesting. |

C&D win as a 2yo; returned from wind and gelding operations to win a Thirsk handicap (6f, good to soft) in July; not so good twice since and yard have stronger claims elsewhere. |

Lightly raced 3yo; returned in May from gelding and wind operations to win a 6f handicap at Thirsk in July (good to soft); disappointing at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; others look safer. |

Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo who regressed sharply for Jamie Osborne; been off for four four months since well held over C&D and the change of scenery will need to have done the trick. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't kick on for William Haggas and, following an encouraging stable debut (7f, AW) in July, he never got going when last of nine to Good Heavens at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 6-1) three weeks ago; questions to answer. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Won 6f handicap here (soft) for William Haggas just under a year ago; didn't kick on for that yard but it was an encouraging stable debut when favourite and third of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) in July; same mark and shapes like he's worth another go at 1m. |

Inconsistent but she comfortably made all at 25-1 in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month and ran as well as could be expected in a Listed race at Redcar last time (7f, soft; fifth of six); no surprise to see a bold bid now back in a handicap. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Pontefract in July (6f, good); not so good in either start since but not handicapped out of things if bouncing back. |
12/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; exploited his drop down the weights when making all at Pontefract 18 days ago (6f, good); still has handicapping scope despite a 4lb rise; one to consider. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
9yo whose last win was in September 2023 and it's possible that he'll need this first outing since February; however, he won this in 2021 and showed spark when twice finishing second in Bahrain this January (6f, good/good to firm); not ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |
|
8 (16) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year). |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has finished down the field on his last four runs and needs a major turnaround; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning in a big field over C&D (soft) in April on his last run here, and his good record at Doncaster also includes a win in this race in 2021; dangerous to dismiss. |

Three heavy defeats have followed his impressive Doncaster win in April (6f, soft); not the easiest to predict but conditions won't be an issue and he's dangerous to write off. |
