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. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |
11/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Loves it here and he's fine from this trip up to 1m4f; placed over the extended 1m here in May before finding the ground too slow at Carlisle; a wide draw isn't ideal, though. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored five times last season (twice over C&D) but yet to hit top form this term, just a fair fifth of nine to Daring Leader at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ten-time winner; kept on for never-dangerous fifth, beaten under 3l, when favourite for the latest Beverley race won by Anificas Beauty; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo mare whose C&D form includes one of her five wins last term and a resurgent effort on penultimate start; latest race didn't pan out favourably; runner-up in this contest three years ago; likely player. |

9st 7lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, slowly away when sixth of eight in 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
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. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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. |

9st 9lb |
In good form, winning at Ripon (1m, good) and Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) before a decent third off this mark (10lb higher than second win) back at Beverley last time (8.5f, good to firm); should go well. |

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. |
