18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |

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. |

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. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |

4th 1 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

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

11st 7lb |
Beat three rivals in this 12 months ago and has added further wins since then, on the Flat and over hurdles; only beaten a length in 1m4f handicap last time after a wind operation; not handicapped out of it by any means. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
117-rated hurdler, who regularly took travelling in her stride (three wins down at Newton Abbot); won well, making all, on the Flat at Thirsk (1m4f, soft; from 7lb lower) last September; notable candidate back to this discipline following more wind surgery. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Front-runner who enjoyed a resurgence last year, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; absent since November, though, and will need to resume in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting. |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Always behind on all three appearances this season but was a three-time course winner (1m, good to firm-soft) last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; fine over today's trip and sure to appreciate this ease in grade; interesting to see whether connections opt to revert to more positive tactics today. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |

Won here in 2024 and added three wins at Ayr last year; she's below her last winning mark but has been well beaten on both outings this spring and a major turnaround is necessary. |

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 |

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. |

1-30, the win over C&D from a similar mark last September; lost out in a tight finish to a stablemate of Woodleigh at Beverley (1m2f, good; 4-1) last week; no reason why she shouldn't take the swift turnaround in her stride; possible. |

Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September and she's been effective over this far and on turf in the past; however, she's won just one of her 28 races and has to improve upon this year's form (1m-1m2f). |
