5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Steady improver for George Boughey, doing well having been forced to switch when leading on the line over 1m1f at York (good to firm) three weeks ago; another 4lb higher now but there is probably more to come. |
13/2 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won on reappearance at Redcar (1m, good) in April before a good second at Newmarket (1m, good; unraced on slower); only third of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last time but this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in and perhaps today's extra yardage will help. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo for whom things clicked again with a reappearance win at Redcar (1m, good) last month; backed that up with a good second of 14 over this C&D (good) and he's a strong contender. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sterling operator who's won at least two races every year since 2021, nearly all at about 1m; has already picked up this year's allotment (on good to firm and good to soft) and, back up 3lb, it's nearly three years since he won off this high a mark; still likely to be bang there. |
3/1 |

5th 3 (12) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resurgent 7yo who won twice last month (8.3f/1m) and lost out only by a nose under Cian Horgan at York (1m1f, good to firm) on Saturday; contests this easier race from the same mark; leading contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 11 (12) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
7yo who has a very healthy 11-60 strike-rate; won at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) last month before a near-miss at Ripon (1m2f, good), and he returned to winning ways on that track (1m, good to soft) last time; he's back up in grade but this thriving 7yo has to go on the shortlist. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has form figures of 133 this term, the success over 1m; went close over 1m1f at York most recently; respectable fifth in big field over C&D last June and looks a solid contender. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well here (7f, good to soft) last July and reappeared with a win at Pontefract (1m, good) in April; kept on for fair third of six at Redcar (1m, good to soft) latest and today's extra yardage could be a plus; chance. |

Hasn't won since scoring at Ayr in October 2023 (1m, soft); close fourth at York two runs back (1m1f, good to firm) and excuses for lesser run last time. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a win since 2023 but gave good account when very close fourth at York (1m1f, good to firm) on Saturday; competes off same mark here and is very closely matched with Cosmos Raj on that form; might be the answer. |
11/4 |

Encouraging fourth on reappearance at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and respectable run here since over an inadequate 7f; ran well when fourth of 17 over 1m2f here (good to soft) last September and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; in calculations now back up in trip. |

9st 11lb |
In and out this season but two comfortable wins in the spring (7f/1m, good to firm); fair fifth here (1m1f, good to firm) last time, shaping as though he would appreciate the return to 1m; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two comfortable wins this spring (7f/1m, good to firm); also effective on good to soft; only fifth at Yarmouth last time under 5lb penalty, and now a further 5lb higher, but perhaps that came too soon; could bounce back and play a leading role if the extra yardage isn't an issue. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who dead-heated for first at Ripon (1m, good) in April then won at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month; faces a tougher task today but this course winner arrives in rude health and is entitled to respect. |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent 10yo who is a two-time C&D winner and was third in this last year; dead-heated for first at Ripon (1m, good) last month and is just 2lb higher today; good chance he'll be bang there once more. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won off 1lb higher at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but he's been disappointing since including in two runs this season; now drops back into a Class 5 event but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

Good third at Ripon on reappearance but hasn't run quite as well since; now 9lb below his last winning mark and as he handles some cut in the ground is not without a chance. |
25/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Hasn't threatened in his two starts since a good reappearance third at Ripon (1m, good) in April; however, he returned to form to win this last year (good to soft) and is 7lb lower now 12 months on; interesting. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |

Isn't the most consistent but he's a dual course winner who shaped as though retaining much of ability on reappearance; next run may have come too quickly but is on a handy mark and is worth another chance. |

9st 7lb |
Capable of a big run if things drop right, as when winning in a big field over C&D (good to firm) last July; fair third at Pontefract (1m, good) in April but soundly beaten the next twice; needs to raise his game. |
40/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Below best this season but ran okay two starts ago and was in a higher grade than this when mid-division here latest; won off this mark at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last September and scored here (1m, good to firm) last July; effective on good to soft, unproven on soft; not written off. |
16/1 |

10th 14 (15) |

Finished well to win over C&D (good to firm) last July and at Pontefract (1m good to firm) in September; fair third at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on second start back and the expected competitive gallop in this big field should play to his strengths; not discounted. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Won off 2lb lower at Haydock (1m, good) last September on penultimate start of the season; he's run well in fourth at Thirsk (7f/1m, good/good to firm) on two of his three runs this season and has an each-way shout. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took advantage of reduced mark when landing a competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) in September; creditable fourth over 7f here on reappearance last month but he's not easy to predict and was out the back in the Hunt Cup over C&D last time; remains feasibly treated and now drops back in grade but he comes with risks attached. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bit of a mixed bag since returning in April, his Ripon success (1m2f, good to soft) in May flanked by a couple of heavy defeats; still 5lb higher than for the win and others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

11th 4 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a good record at Ripon, where he returned to form with a win (1m2f, good to soft) last time, showing sufficient pace to provide optimism he will cope with this drop back in trip; has run well here and he went close a couple of times on fast ground last season; could be involved. |
8/1 |

1st 11 (12) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Good record over C&D, including two wins on good ground last year; weakened when stepped up to 1m4f at York last time but the return to shorter is a plus and he's only 1lb higher than when edging out Monday's Zetland Gold Cup winner Liberty Coach at Redcar last autumn; has to enter calculations. |
