14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly repelled Up The Jazz at Ripon (1m, good) but only fifth off this career-high mark (5lb rise) back there a month ago; he's been a bit up and down this season. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
In good heart this season and he returned to winning ways over C&D (good) last Monday; a 5lb rise takes this 5yo to a career-high mark but he has a solid record here and could be firmly in the shake-up once more. |

Respectable fifth at Beverley three days ago; largely solid record at Ripon features a success in 2024 and peak effort this season (close second in early June); likely player returned to this course. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice over 1m at Redcar last summer (good to firm/good to soft); fair effort on June's belated reappearance but a bit more needed. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (11) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |
13/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing run in a similar event over C&D in January (visored first time); she has found it tougher going since and she needs to leave her latest run well behind her. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Landed a similar contest at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January, but that her only success in her last 25 starts; could go well but others preferred for the win. |
16/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |

6th 6 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Raced mainly on stiff/galloping tracks; largely consistent winning off current mark at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) in April; in the mix, provided he's as effective back on a sharper course. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Beverley (8.5f) in April and has continued in good form, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap 13 days ago; winner has gone in since so a bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Both wins have been over 8.5f at Beverley, the most recent in April off 1lb lower than today; has been running respectably recently and drops back down in grade with solid claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four C&D wins in 2024 (including a Class 5); unfortunate (hampered) not to justify market support when runner-up to Dinah Myte here in June; excuse - bled from nose - next time; recent Southwell run (fifth) should have him spot on for this. |
9/2 |
|
5th 3 (13) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
The last four of his five wins were over 1m on Newcastle Tapeta (hampered on sole start here); looked an unlucky loser at Newcastle on penultimate start but bled from the nose when a disappointing favourite there on latest; player if straight back to form. |
11/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four C&D wins; attracted market support and looked an unlucky loser, hitting the line strongly after being hampered at a crucial stage over C&D (100-30 favourite, beaten a head) three weeks ago; still fairly weighted after a small upward nudge; holds an obvious chance. |

C&D win (soft) in June off a 2lb lower mark; solid efforts in defeat since and the forecast rain won't be a problem; still needs the new headgear to squeeze out a bit more. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Triple turf winner who scored at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and has finished a respectable third at Pontefract in her last two starts; still unexposed on AW and she should be in the mix again back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |

Son of Havana Grey took a step forward on his first go in handicaps when fourth of ten at Nottingham (1m) three weeks ago, faring best of those who raced up with the strong pace; he needs considering off a 2lb lower mark with cheekpieces added. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
It's not saying much but her eighth of ten at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) was perhaps a little better as she was beaten under 5l in a first-time visor; stamina doubts over this far, though, and no headgear this time. |
20/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed after only four runs but was well beaten when 100-1 for handicap debut a fortnight ago (1m); moves up in trip with visor added here; could be considered only if much stronger in the betting. |
33/1 |
|
15 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has offered little on all three runs, not looking an easy ride when tenth of 11 in 7f Thirsk maiden 15 days ago; she needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. |
