15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice over 5f at Wolverhampton and Pontefract in April; his more recent form is not so encouraging, however, and he beat only one in 5f Ripon handicap last time; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |

Started his campaign with two wins in April and there have been plenty of solid runs since; should remain competitive but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner who won three in a row in August/September, with the final leg over C&D (good); came up a bit short when third at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time, but that was another creditable effort and he's respected back in this sphere. |
3/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Arrives on a roll, following wins at Nottingham and Leicester with a comfortable win at Redcar last week; 1lb ahead of the handicapper under his penalty and fully effective on this surface; good claims. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner last May who is on a hat-trick after wins at Nottingham (good to firm) last month and Leicester (also 5f; good to soft) a fortnight ago; up 4lb but he won off this mark last spring and looks the one to beat. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |
15/2 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

Without a win since 2024 and struggles continued behind Call Time here last week (33-1); now tries blinkers; ground no issue. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven-time winner (once on heavy ground) but not since 2024; safely held on all three starts this season (5f-6f) and her handicap mark bottomed out a while ago; revival needed. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (7) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Seven wins include three here (5f/6f), but not operating at the same level these days; needs a resurgence. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who has bits of respectable 5f form at Newcastle; gives the impression this return to 6f is worth exploring on first run since wind surgery; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
14 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-13 but she has shown winning potential, including over C&D; respectable effort in a handicap here 11 days ago but she was behind Lady Of The Garr on that occasion. |
10/1 |

3rd 10 (6) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual 5f Tapeta winner who achieved little in three runs over 6f-7f for Michael Appleby; has been inclined to hang left more than once and is some way down the pecking order for his new yard, having been picked up for just 1,000gns. |
