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. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Previous course winner who was entitled to have needed his comeback from 13 months off on turf recently; shaped well enough there and a 2lb drop sees him get in here on the ceiling mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Weakened at Musselburgh (5f, good; 5-2 favourite) when last in action 13 months ago; that sharp track (three wins) usually plays to his strengths; even allowing for this easing mark, he has plenty to prove. |
14/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner as part of a hat-trick of 6f wins in May and June, when with Pam Sly; took a step back in the right direction when returning here and 2l third latest; will have a little to prove on slower ground but should be involved if he handles it. |
14/1 |
|
11th 10 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for Pam Sly in early summer, going around a stone up the weights; placed efforts here all came off lower marks and he'll need to improve upon his latest C&D run, having since been sold for 6,000gns. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who got back on track with a close third from off the pace at Catterick (6f, good to soft) last week; has leading claims if she can repeat that form and this return to quicker is a positive (all six wins have been on good/good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, all in late summer 2024; remains 4lb above her last successful mark and has lost her way of late, so will need a revival. |
10/1 |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up mare who's become hard to win with, taking just one of her last 29; again gave her running against her own sex over C&D a fortnight ago but will need to better that. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three of her eight wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off a 1lb lower mark; on a competitive mark now back down to Class 6 and returned to AW; will need luck from stall 1 but she's one to take seriously. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

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. |

9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

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. |

9st 5lb |
Often leads; able to get to the stands' rail when a clear winner at Ripon (6f, good) in July on second start for the yard and, despite going back up 8lb, he's continued in good form since; involved again. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has done well since joining Tony Carroll this summer, winning at Ripon (6f, good) in July and a close second here (5f, good to soft) last time; this return to fast ground is no problem and he's a key player back up in trip. |
9/4 |

2nd 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Front-runner; scored at the second time of asking for Tony Carroll when much too strong for ten rivals at Ripon (6f, good) in July; good third at Newmarket 24 days ago; drops in trip and class and looks more appealing than many. |

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 |

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. |
