1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including twice over C&D) in 2025; back on track with fifth of 20 over C&D 17 days ago when first home in his group; must enter calculations off the same mark in a change of headgear. |
5/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D wins last year and he is now 5lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from some modest efforts but that's quite possible under these conditions. |

C&D winner; all wins on good or slower but acts on fast ground; 1l second from this mark at Thirsk last month but needs to shrug off two lesser efforts. |

Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

18th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm) but she's been up and down since and was only seventh of ten at Hamilton last Tuesday; still 2lb higher than for her last success and she has some work to do. |
12/1 |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm); has often run well in defeat since but she wasn't at her best over C&D last month; a few others look stronger in this field. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |
16/1 |
|

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss. |
10/1 |

2nd 9 (11) |

Now 4lb lower than for his Catterick success 12 months ago; made a promising return at that track in April before plenty went wrong back there two weeks later; cheekpieces back on today; betting can help. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit a purple patch when completing a quick hat-trick at Nottingham (6f) in June; posted a respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f) last time and very much one to consider given he has run well on all three previous visits here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third to Spring Bloom over C&D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |

9st 7lb |
Ran on well when winning a 6f handicap at Redcar in May; well held at Pontefract last month but that was in Class 5 company; 4lb lower than for her win in this race in 2024; should go well. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) in May and has continued in good nick, third of 12 there (6f) last time; this C&D scorer needs considering. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Not one to rely on but she scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and bounced back to form when a nose second of nine in 6f Catterick handicap ten days ago; not out of things if on her A-game again. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
This mark isn't beyond her but her style of racing doesn't really lend itself to this track; others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D scorer who got back on track when fourth of nine over C&D in July; one to consider off the same mark after a break. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break. |
6/1 |
|
2 (11) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Placed efforts on her last two starts, latterly behind Asadjumeirah over C&D; may have to make do with more minor money. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |
