22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June; well held in 6f handicaps at York and Pontefract since, however, so this C&D scorer needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
5f and 6f winner, most recently in a 0-70 at Doncaster (good to firm) on his penultimate start; found out from this mark and in this grade in a big field at York latest; more needed. |

9st 1lb |
Landed the ninth win of his career when keeping on well in a Class 5 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 4lb higher mark in a stronger race could find him out. |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

13th 6 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still 3lb higher than for Wolverhampton (6f) win in January but has largely remained in good form since; ought to be right in thick of things. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in January and largely in good nick since, challenging wide when sixth of ten in another 6f handicap there last time; can make his presence felt. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Only 3lb higher than for January's C&D win and has continued to run well; 6f specialist with a solid chance, despite stall 10. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 over C&D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |

9st 2lb |
Maiden with fair placed, notably third of 21 at Naas (5f, good) in August and beaten a head when a 50-1 chance over C&D in November; finished last of 14 over C&D on next start and made no impression over 5f last Friday; others look more reliable. |

11th 1 (13) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Maiden is 0-14 but couple of good efforts for this yard, including third of 21 at Naas (5f, good) in August and beaten a head here (6f) in November; finished last of 14 over that C&D on latest; bounce back needed down in trip; new headgear combination. |
16/1 |

11th 1 (14) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

0-9 for James Fanshawe; two good runs for current yard, closely matched with Lismacbryan on their Naas clash and ran well at Lingfield (5f) after getting behind early; turn looks near. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

Sole win from 23 starts came in a Beverley seller last May when trained by David Evans; made some late gains in a classified event at Redcar last month but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |

5th 2 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belied 50-1 odds and put in fairly good front-running shift when third of six in this grade at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; refitted hood) last week, his second start for Derek Shaw; also suited by turf but others appeal more all the same. |

8st 10lb |
2-34, but ran her best race for a while returned to turf when beaten 2l into third of ten behind Raft Up over C&D (good) last month; 7lb better off so each-way claims if stepping forward from that. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

27th May 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
