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. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only been seen sporadically, shaping nicely on her C&D comeback from almost a year off in June; pulled hard upped to 6f here last time and has slid to an attractive mark now; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
12th 11 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was in 2023 but she's lightly raced for a 6yo; ran on late over 5f here two months ago when making AW debut after nearly a year off; if sharper for that, and returning to her winning trip, she should go well. |

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. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he's struggled in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove from a wide draw back on AW and he's 0-11 on Tapeta. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (11) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he has come up well short twice, including C&D latest; handles any ground but others look better treated. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back. |

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 |
|
11 (8) |
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Bagged a third success of 2025 over C&D in November; off for nine months, having undergone breathing surgery, before returning with a good third of nine at Pontefract (5f) 17 days ago; one to consider now. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since below-par run at Newcastle last November (wind op in interim); however, she won three times in the second half of last year, two of them here, and she ran well first time up last term; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
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. |
4/1 |
