17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
She's been running well in the main this season and has finished second at Ayr (5f, good/good to firm) on her two starts this month; she's won over C&D and there's every chance that she'll be bang there. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three of her four wins last season (5f/6f) were on fast ground, so conditions suit here; creditable second over C&D last week (good); a leading chance. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Dual course winner who failed to build on earlier promise when seventh of eight in 5f Hamilton handicap ten days ago; handily weighted if back on her A-game here though. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |

Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Ran okay on her seasonal return in April but she hasn't built on it in four runs since; had 17 runs at 6f+ and she has been unplaced in all of them. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning over 5f, most recently off 4lb higher at Pontefract last September (inconsistent since); attractively treated but has something to prove back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
11th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights. |

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. |

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. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner who was fourth of 13 in this last year and was a close second at Catterick last month; however, this inconsistent 9yo has been soundly beaten on his last two starts and has to leave those runs behind. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 5f on good ground, latest at Musselburgh last August; hasn't been in top form this term, best run when third at Musselburgh in June (5f); bit to prove, including his stamina. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins at 5f on good ground; not quite nailing it this year and it's up in the air as to whether this is his trip, having been well held in sole previous attempt, over C&D in April 2025. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins for Craig Lidster and he's run well here before but it's been a struggle for this yard and he can't be recommended at present. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won twice over 5f/6f for Craig Lidster in 2023, but not shown much in three starts for this yard since returning from 18 months off in March; something to prove. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Winless in 12 starts and it was an uphill grind in handicaps last year; wore aids on last two starts but not today; one to watch on return from break. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Minor form so far and he's been well held at big prices in classified events at Wolverhampton and over C&D on his last two starts. |
