21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; won his maiden on turf but he's topped that form on the AW since, winning at Newcastle in March, and was left behind back on grass at Yarmouth (6f, good) when last seen in April; work to do off just 1lb lower. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |
11/1 |

Five wins this year (7f-1m) have come at a cost mark-wise and has to bounce back from below-par run at York three weeks ago (jockey said he ran flat). |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light. |
12/1 |

14th 10 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f handicaps at Newcastle last October but ended his 2025 campaign with a poor run and it a similar story on his seasonal return in May; absent since and likely vulnerable. |
20/1 |

10th 7 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Comes here chasing a C&D hat-trick after two narrow wins last month; still feasibly weighted up 3lb and should be in the thick of the action. |

4th Apr 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two lengthy absences to his name and has lacked consistency since returning from 16 months off; this mark is within range if the first-time tongue-tie helps and he's on a going day but there are risks involved. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two lengthy absences to his name and returns from a ten-week break today, having run below par at a short price latterly; otherwise he showed himself capable at this level in a couple of his runs last autumn and is one to consider. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |
