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. |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Latest Flat win was C&D in June (7lb higher today) and he also scored over hurdles three weeks ago on latest outing; firmly in the picture. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Plenty of racing on the Flat, winning for a third time when successful over 1m4f on the AW this June; it's proving harder work over hurdles, last time trailing home last here on his handicap debut (16-1). |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Fair Flat-racer who won in first-time blinkers on the AW (2m; RPR 72) this summer and can probably be excused his recent defeat on heavy ground; showed only minor promise in three maiden hurdles last season but is open to improvement in handicaps this term; market reference recommended. |

11st 6lb |
In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Confirmed hold-up performer who is now at the veteran stage, but he is the only previous C&D winner in the field; failed to beat a rival here 11 days ago, but the return to 0-55 company is a positive and he should make his presence felt. |
8/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His Redcar win (2m, good to firm) in July came in a four-runner race; 16l behind Niffler when third at Newcastle (1m4f); better off at the weights today but lacks that rival's potential. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip. |

9st 8lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f, most recently at Pontefract (good) last month; bumped into very well-handicapped rival when second at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and looks interesting over this new trip. |

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

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

A longstanding maiden who has performed moderately the last twice, but with a good few places to her name she can't be dismissed. |

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. |

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. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

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. |

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). |

10st 13lb |
Overall record is 0-33 (0-8 over hurdles) but she's in a consistent vein of form, good second at Perth (2m) most recently; creditable third over C&D (good) the time before; fighting chance. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Longstanding Flat maiden but only had the seven races over hurdles and her turn could be near after finishing close up at Uttoxeter (2m) and Sedgefield (2m4f; again good ground); thereabouts. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Longstanding Flat maiden who is 0-6 over hurdles but she kept on well for second at Uttoxeter in July (2m, good); this longer trip might stretch her. |
13/2 |
