2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner (1m3f) whose latest success was over 1m of soft ground off 9lb higher at Ayr last September; hasn't run as well since; not out of it. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 1m here last season; yet to hit top gear this year but was placed over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and remains well handicapped; dangerous to ignore. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who made all over 1m at this track last September; has generally struggled since but she showed signs of a revival here (fourth of 12) three weeks ago and is now 6lb lower than for her last success; could be dangerous back up in trip and she's versatile ground-wise. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |
4/1 |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |
33/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came at Redcar in May 2024; was out of the handicap when running well to finish second in similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) under Kayla Ruddy last month; hasn't matched that in two subsequent starts but the return to this sphere may help; not discounted. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-27 on Flat turf, the win coming on soft ground over 1m at Redcar in May 2024 (first-time hood); gave it a good go from the front when runner-up over this C&D last month but she failed to beat a rival home at Ayr (1m2f) two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |

All four wins have come on AW over 7f, including here in March off 55; ran no sort of race when last seen here in July from a wide draw (much better draw here). |

All four wins from 45 attempts have come on AW over 7f; her last win was at this track in March from a mark of 55; well held in four starts since (one here and three on turf); not discounted now back on this surface. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
19-race maiden, 15 of those for Brian Ellison; made a respectable start for new yard four weeks ago but he's 3lb out of the handicap today and needs much more like his best form of previous campaigns. |
25/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
18-race maiden, the last 15 of these for Brian Ellison; sold 16 days ago for £3,500; with this season's form not as good as last term's, it looks like he's best watched. |
