17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's won twice under Rebecca Hitchen, most recently when reverting to hurdles and defying a first-flight blunder at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; just 3lb higher today and in the mix if producing another good run. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Modest fifth over hurdles at Cartmel in July and a similar story back on the Flat twice since; Rebecca Hitchen's 10lb claim is helpful from a handicapping perspective. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Nine-race maiden who is bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and was a keeping-on second at Chelmsford (1m6f) 11 days ago; only 1lb higher and he's not ruled out on this step up to 2m. |
5/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Fair effort on his only AW start (9.5f); bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and recorded just about his best effort upped to 1m4f when second at Catterick (good to firm) two starts back; not so good over that trip at Beverley (good) next time, though, and he's got a bit to prove up in distance again. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have come over 1m4f at Beverley and latest was in May; several creditable efforts since that last success including when a 2l third at Redcar (1m6f, good) last time; this is a deeper race but she's still unexposed at this trip and shouldn't be far away. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Below form when dropped to 1m2f last time; in decent form before that, winning at Beverley in May (1m4f, good to firm) and being placed on her next three starts, all over 1m4f; stamina to prove (below best only previous try at this trip) but a possible. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three short-priced defeats since a Beverley win off 7lb lower in the spring and back at 1m2f today; will again be popular for a yard that took this in 2023 but she ran poorly in two previous tries in headgear. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
2m5f winner at Pontefract (good) in April and both Flat runs since were respectable; disappointing returned to hurdles for latest outing (June) but needs respect in this sphere. |
4/1 |
|
8th 8 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |

2nd 7 (11) |

0-28 over various distances; no match for the odds-on winner over 1m1f at Carlisle last week but was 7l clear of the third. |

2nd 8 (6) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Best effort this season when second, behind a rival who was completing a hurdles four-timer, over C&D (good) on penultimate start; reasonably interesting on that form and remains favourably treated, being 3lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A three-time 2m hurdles winner last season; back on song when second of three in 2m1f handicap at Sedgefield 22 days ago; not out of things off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

3lb below last winning mark in October; only real effort of note in five runs after a wind operation was when second on the Flat in June; likely to go from the front. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-11 this year but on a dangerous mark and was a good second over C&D (soft) 12 days ago; soundly beaten third over C&D (soft) one day later but that may have come sooner than ideal; this three-time C&D winner can make a bold bid. |
5/1 |

3rd 9 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
She returned to form when runner-up over C&D (soft) yesterday, a race she finished third in last year before winning a division of this race a day later; has to be taken seriously. |

2nd 13 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

She's not been at the top of her game on her last three starts but she's on a handy mark on this season's best efforts and finished a creditable third in a division of this race last year. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Course winner in 2022 who last won at Pontefract (also 1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; 50-1 when beaten 10l on his comeback in a Wolverhampton classified (1m4f, AW) in January; others look safer. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Catterick handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in July but he finished down the field in his final three runs during the summer; has won when fresh in the past but his last success was 19 months ago and this veteran is 1-14 on AW. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on his wins at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) last year; second of seven from 5lb out of the weights at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) last month, but modest otherwise this year; not quite sure what to expect. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

10st 5lb |
3-48 overall with latest win in a Ripon classified (1m2f, soft) in August, which was the same race he won in 2025; opposable on the majority of 2025 and 2026 form, though. |

Returned to form with narrow win in Ripon classified (1m2f, soft; front pair clear) in August and also ran well when keeping-on third in Beverley handicap (1m2f, good) ten days ago; should be fine back on Tapeta; each-way claims at least. |
