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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |
13/2 |
|
11th 6 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

In good form on turf in the spring but 0-12 and hasn't matched that in five starts since, including when never travelling back on AW latest. |

4 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on turf in the spring but he's 0-11 and hasn't matched that in four starts since, latterly in cheekpieces when well held at Beverley last time; handicapper's relenting, though. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; yet to win this season but she was a good third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and filled the same position behind a big improver at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time; continues to edge down the weights and she's in the mix back on turf. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won first two starts last summer (6f) but, although not added to tally since, shaped with more encouragement over 5f at Redcar last time; down a further 2lb and should be suited by the extra yardage; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
7 (5) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 6f juvenile scorer but her more recent form is much less encouraging, tried visored when last of seven at Ripon (6f) 34 days ago; others are preferred. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) and bang there on starts either side of that, beaten under a length; solid chance with C&D form to his name. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Retains ability aged eight; made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) last time, building on his reappearance effort and registering an eighth success; has never gained back-to-back wins, though. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved. |
100/30 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |
20/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |
10/1 |
