28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Regularly performed well since her Bath win in May; not got much in hand of this mark but still likely to be on the premises. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four 5f turf wins for this yard in 2025 and in good form this summer, doing well to get as close as she did from the widest draw at Chester two starts ago; however, she's 0-5 on the AW and it may be significant that she hasn't run on sand since March 2025. |
7/2 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

In a good run of form and did well to threaten from the widest stall at Chester last time (5f, good); player. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on AW this year and he carried on the good work back on turf when finishing second of nine at Nottingham 12 days ago (6f, good); the return to 7f looks a positive and he looks a strong contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over 7f in February and has gone close on his last two starts, including over this trip 28 days ago; has form on turf and this prominent-racer has claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 7f (including on Polytrack) in February and he went close off this mark at Southwell last Tuesday; usually races prominently and he's strongly respected on this drop back in trip. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
5f winner here last June for another trainer; has another career-low mark today, having lost his way; third race for current yard. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained sole success off a higher mark but isn't particularly solid on 2026 efforts, both in the spring; left Michael Attwater since; possibly best watched unless the betting speaks positively. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has performed well over 5f at Wolverhampton a few times this winter; however, doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to 6f. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In-form maiden who ran well in first-time visor over C&D (classified) most recently, beating all bar a progressive sort who headed the betting; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well from the front when in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 11 days ago and now goes in a visor; each-way clains. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice last summer (including over C&D) and comes here on the back of a solid fifth in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark when landing a classified at Leicester (5f, good) in June; although she has gone close in handicaps on several occasions, she has not been able to land such a contest and doesn't therefore appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who's barely put a foot wrong since the blinkers went on; has gone close a couple of times over C&D in the past and is one for the shortlist under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has a record of 2102 since wearing blinkers, the success in Leicester classified contest (maiden previously); just over 1l behind Dottie Diamond there last Tuesday and now gets a 5lb pull with that opponent, who admittedly is open to further improvement; important contender. |
9/2 |
