16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Returned to form in first-time blinkers (retained) with close third at Southwell (5f, AW) three weeks ago; worth a second look after that but he's inconsistent and unproven on soft/heavy ground. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D win late last summer came off 6lb higher; he's proven patchy this season but the handicapper's given him a chance should the first-time blinkers (has worn cheekpieces once before) have the desired effect. |
8/1 |
|
15th 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; won four times last season and went close at Beverley this May; not far away three times in a row this summer (not so good on latest start) and creeping down the weights but others are now a bit more persuasive. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was out the back over C&D last time but he scored at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June and was successful off 1lb higher in this race last year; comes with risks attached but has claims if he can bounce back again. |
16/1 |
|
12th 15 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June and comes here on the back of a resurgent fifth of 11 over C&D 24 days ago; scored twice here in 2025 (including over C&D) so ought to be thereabouts. |
20/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June; well held in 6f handicaps at York and Pontefract since, however, so this C&D scorer needs to get back on track. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
13-race maiden; on a dangerous mark on last year's best but it's been tougher going this year and the drop to 6f/fitting of a visor didn't have the desired effect last time. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
12-race maiden; in good form last summer but he failed to fire at Catterick last August and he hasn't threatened in two 1m handicaps this year; dangerous mark if the drop in trip and fitting of a visor perks him up; stable also run Canon's House. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |
15/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple course winner who also captured this event in 2025; yet to score this term but he has posted some solid placed efforts here and is best forgiven his latest C&D seventh when slowly away; can't be discounted. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |
9/2 |

2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has been placed in three of her last four starts, including when third behind Hurstwood here (6f, good) 18 days ago; that was in a big field and she should go well again off unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (17) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |

He's produced some reasonable performances this season, including over 6f here, but he remains a maiden after 15 starts and needs something extra today in first-time cheekpieces. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished with a flourish for second at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting (5f, soft); her defeat at Hamilton three days later is excusable but Monday's Hamilton fourth, when outpaced before making some late headway, doesn't suggest she is the answer today. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Below par at Hamilton eight days ago but the race possibly came too soon after running well at Ayr (5f) a few days earlier; higher in the weights than ever, however. |

4th 6 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Finished behind three of today's rivals over C&D 18 days ago but she showed better form when flying home to take second (first in her group) in a 5f handicap at Ayr (soft) on Thursday; good chance in a race featuring plenty of pace. |

9st 0lb |
Dual course winner over 5f, including from 6lb higher on good ground in April; finished a close fourth off this mark at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; has won at 6f and looks one of the more solid options. |
11/4 |

4th 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on last two starts but the first was over 7f and he was slowly away last time; some good runs in defeat over 6f/5f this summer and he's in the mix if rediscovering that form. |
