16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him. |
14/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning on AW at Newcastle (5f) in January; fair form on turf last twice, latest when 2l fourth at Thirsk (5f, good); has won on fast ground; each-way chance. |
6/1 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A win and a near-miss to his name in two runs here; now 7lb lower than when winning last spring but he's struggled this season, including without the trademark cheekpieces last time; needs a revival but the drop back from 6f should help. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner who is well handicapped on last season's form and is one to watch in the betting; however, he finished down the field on his three starts this spring and needs to turn things around. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times in the first half of 2026 but she has come up short in Class 4 events on her last two starts; 2-3 over C&D but perhaps a shade high in the weights for now. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (13) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins this season; not ideally positioned when down the field over C&D 13 days ago but, even so, an improved effort will be needed to defy this mark. |
20/1 |
|
15th 3 (15) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives on the crest of a wave having won four of her last five starts; a 4lb rise for her small-field Class 5 win at Ripon last month could just find her out here, though. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April and there have been plenty of solid runs since; should remain competitive but minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won this last year and kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row, the second of them over C&D; he's run well in defeat over C&D on his last two starts and there's every chance he'll again be bang there. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in a 6f Newmarket maiden on debut 12 months ago but there has been little to celebrate since, including both runs for this yard; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
33/1 |
|
6 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Early promise in a 6f Newmarket maiden last August but he hasn't approached that form since and failed to beat a rival on handicap/trainer debut at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) in June; needs lots more back at 6f. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His standout effort came at Newmarket on his debut last August (6f, good); well held since and sold for 1,600gns last month; looks on a tough mark moving into handicaps. |
12/1 |
