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. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) and nearly followed up at Ayr, over 1m5f on good; stays this far and handles slow ground, so has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
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. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
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. |
13/2 |

12th 7 |
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. |

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. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
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. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-6 in 1m4f handicaps when justifying favouritism at Pontefract (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this trip; key player. |

0-28 over various distances; no match for the odds-on winner over 1m1f at Carlisle last week but was 7l clear of the third. |

2nd 8 (6) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

27-race maiden; creditable third over 1m4f at Hamilton in June (good) but well beaten since; drop to 1m1f may not be ideal. |

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

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y 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. |

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. |

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. |

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). |

Longstanding Flat maiden who is 0-5 over hurdles; beaten about 9l last time at Hexham but she's unconvincing. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

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. |
