2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Heavy-ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; may have needed his reappearance five weeks ago but needs to leave it well behind. |

Heavy ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; 11lb lower than at start of last season but might be one to watch this time. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner, from 7.5f to 1m4f, at Beverley; however, latest effort (here) doesn't suggest his old legs are crying out for this 3.5f drop back in trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who is 6-23 at Beverley, the most recent success last August in last 1m4f attempt; could go well returned to this scenario with Catterick reappearance (7f) under his belt. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

Campaigned mostly over further; slowly away and always behind returned to 6f last time, taking record for current yard to 0-9; opposed. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-Irish filly who has been unable to take advantage of a declining mark for new stable; change of trip (second attempt at sprinting) needs to help. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who holds weak claims on the form she showed last year for new yard; ruled out unless the market speaks positively. |
25/1 |
|
9th 11 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A modest 1m2f maiden for Geoff Oldroyd but she's shown little in a pair of handicaps at Beverley and Doncaster for her current yard this summer; others are preferred. |
50/1 |
|
7 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made an encouraging start in handicaps when third at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last March but she's had only two runs since and has finished out the back in both of them; still lightly raced but has plenty to prove on second run for current yard. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only turf success was in a maiden over 7.5f here in July 2022 (good); fair efforts when placed on last two starts, latest over C&D (good); a possible. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Multiple AW scorer whose sole win from 23 turf starts came at this venue in 2022; creditable effort from her lower turf rating at Ripon last week and claims from same mark. |

Nine-race maiden who finished last on first two starts for new stable this year (1m3f/8.4f); big leap of faith required to support him. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
On the up since front-running tactics were adopted and comfortably landed handicaps at Ripon and over C&D this month; not dismissed lightly in his hat-trick bid saddling a 5lb penalty. |
2/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Off the mark at the 27th attempt when running away with a Ripon handicap ten days ago (1m, good); well in under a penalty and she is ideally drawn to attack again but it remains to be seen if she can repeat the feat. |
5/2 |
|
1st 14 (6) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
26-race maiden; two poor efforts on turf this year; easy to dismiss. |
