21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well after six months off when third of five in 1m4f Leicester handicap on her return, fading only late on; a bold showing is on the cards eased 1lb here. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
The only maiden in this field but has low mileage and appears capable of winning an ordinary handicap, having finished a clear second upped to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) when last seen; possibilities off same mark. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 on AW and he was never a threat over C&D in March; remote third over 2m at Musselburgh (good) three weeks ago and he now drops back in trip with added blinkers. |

3rd 5 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |

Two wins last season, the latter gained by 10l here (1m6f, soft; also suited by much quicker ground) in October; not in same form on either outing since returned to the Flat in March (1m4f/2m; cheekpieces refitted last time) but still considered. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

6th 14 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not at his best in a 0-70 at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago, but likely to do better especially if the ground continues to dry out, with his two wins last year (including one over C&D) coming on good to firm; big player down in grade. |

6th 12 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Won twice over 1m4f on good to firm last season; began the season with a good second at Pontefract last month (1m4f, good to soft) and could go well if coping with this softer ground. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 6lb lower mark; followed up at Beverley in July and only just denied in his hat-trick bid when last seen 309 days ago; races off the same mark here and there should be more to come this year. |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

8st 11lb |
1-24, the win coming by a nose at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) over two years ago; 28-1 when second of five over C&D (Quercus Robur last) three weeks ago but that was a messy event and he'll need a bit more today. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Signed off for Ian Williams with two runner-up spots at this trip on AW in 2023; all starts on turf since and was second of seven at Catterick three starts ago; beaten 16l at Ripon (2m, good to firm; Lillistar just denied) last time; not entirely ruled out back on this surface. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
12-race maiden who hasn't offered much in 1m4f/1m6f handicaps after a break; however, she was placed last summer and this is very weak. |
16/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but she looked rusty after four months off when ninth of 13 in 1m3f handicap at Hamilton 16 days ago; she can take a step forward here. |

0-10, but having only fourth run on turf; would have a chance if reproducing her 3.5l third over 1m4f at Ripon last July (1m4f, good), although hasn't run as well since. |

C&D winner but he arrives below par, only sixth of eight in 14f Carlisle handicap 33 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

Three wins on the Flat, the latest at Redcar last September (1m6f, good to firm); hasn't been at his best this year, although fair run when 10l fourth of 12 at Beverley last time (good to firm). |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed on her first two starts over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good) but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham last month, where the 2m4f may have stretched her stamina; a 3lb drop helps, but she still has something to prove. |
20/1 |

6th 4 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden; has taken pretty well to hurdling this spring, making the frame at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good), but does not look obviously well treated for handicap debut. |
16/1 |
