22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark for the season when making all at Pontefract last time (6f, good); his other five wins have all been over 7f (two sound runs on both C&D starts); well drawn; a possible. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he shaped well from the front over C&D (good) eight days ago, eventually tying up having kicked clear too soon in hindsight, beaten only 2l; big chance off same mark with Ethan Tindall taking off a bonus 5lb, provided his energy is used better. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ran poorly last time, failing to back up reappearance effort and continuing his long losing spell; otherwise well capable of taking a serious hand off current mark, provided he rebounds. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last summer (7f/7.4f) and she's below her last winning mark; a couple of fair efforts in the first half of this spring but two lesser performances have followed and she has to raise her game. |
8/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar last Monday when reportedly hanging right-handed throughout; however, she posted two good efforts previously (including over C&D) and could be thereabouts if swiftly back on song. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner and she returned to form in a first-time visor (replaced cheekpieces) when narrowly denied in a similar event three weeks ago; has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time course winner who showed some spark when third over C&D in May; however, this 7yo has struggled on her four starts since and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed narrowly in Beverley handicap (7.5f, good) last time, bouncing back to form and showing that his old legs can still operate successfully; 1-1 at classified level; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 10 (5) |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won twice here over 5f, the most recent coming in April, and ran well at Thirsk (6f, good) last time in a race he won the previous year; however, he's now having a rare start over 7f and it isn't sure to suit. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent slow starter who was never involved at Redcar last time but he was placed over C&D (good to firm) last month and he won at Catterick (5f, good) in April; has claims if he can get away on terms, and his penultimate win was in this race last year. |
11/2 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5f Catterick win in April; two solid placed efforts this month (5f and 6f, both good to firm); should make another bold bid. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has won three 6f events on AW since August, one here; last run at Pontefract forgiven as he was drawn wide but he was also below par here the time before when behind Mount Ruapehu. |
8/1 |
|
13th 11 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who has won three 6f events on AW since August; not at his best at Southwell last month and he has a wide stall to overcome returned to 5f. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |

Not beaten far when fifth at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but this 8yo has struggled on his three starts since; others preferred. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who is versatile ground-wise but he's not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear in last three starts; down the list. |
