30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well treated now but his season hasn't caught light yet, including when well beaten three weeks ago after a three-month break; capable but not a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
15th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower). |

Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Similar weights chance to Woodstock on their Ripon form (6f, good) in August when first home on his side; gained a deserved first win of 2026 at Pontefract 12 days ago and he has a 2-2 record over this C&D (also won over 7f here) so looks primed for a good run; yard runs two. |
9/2 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; yet to strike this year but there have been several good runs along the way; on a dangerous mark and he holds each-way claims again. |
9/1 |
|
6th 15 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
A four-time scorer (including C&D on good) in 2025; 0-12 this year but arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts over 6f at Ripon and is on a fair mark, particularly if the 5lb claim of Jake Dickson (who partners him for the first time) is taken into account. |

9st 12lb |
Recorded her third success, at Ayr (7f, good to soft) last month off 4lb lower; produced a respectable effort when fourth of 13 at Ripon (1m, soft) 13 days ago; likely needs more off her current mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Landed 12-runner handicap at Ayr (7f) 22 days ago; up 4lb but still lightly raced this season so not out of things. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner with six on turf and two on Tapeta; his last success was at Ripon (6f, good) three weeks ago and he ran respectably back at 5f at Pontefract last time; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher than for that recent win and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
8/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

10st 0lb |
6f winner at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; posted another good effort when runner-up at Epsom in August; only eighth of 11 at Hamilton (6f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |
