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. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since 2023 and she's been off the track since beating one in 5f Pontefract handicap 11 months ago; needs to hit the ground running on her Tapeta debut. |
9/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 0-8 in handicaps but has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D in April; disappointing favourite back here last time and needs to rebound. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two 6f wins last season; two good second placings on turf in midsummer; less good on her last three runs though and she has more to prove on AW (well held in one C&D run) |
11/2 |
|
4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
A dual 6f winner in 2024 but she comes here out of sorts, last of ten in 6f Thirsk handicap 20 days ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
2 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Twice runner-up (5.5f/5f) before below-par fourth of seven at Haydock two weeks ago; others appeal more for the win. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nothing wrong with the form of his C&D win in March but he has struggled since, including after wind surgery in May; tongue-tie added for the first time and cheekpieces replace blinkers; not discounted. |
13/2 |
|
9 (12) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Can make the running as when gaining his sole success at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March, but his three efforts since returning to turf have been underwhelming; 1lb lower than for his win, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a Newcastle handicap (5f, AW) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since, including after wind surgery at Pontefract two weeks ago; blinkers are now added and he has quite a bit to prove again back up in trip. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Turf/AW winner who fared best of those who were handy when close up at Newcastle; went off favourite there and his turn looks near. |
7/2 |
|

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; the return to 6f didn't have a positive effect at Catterick last time but he had finished third on Tapeta on his penultimate start; others look safer. |
12/1 |
|
6 (9) |
27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off last year in a fine run of form on the AW and has been knocking on the door this year, including on turf; this is a belated return to 6f but one to consider. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |
