8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent-racer who likes it here, winning for Connor Beasley over C&D last month off 4lb lower from stall 1; always wide from stall 9 behind Daytona Lady last time and that's best ignored but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |
8/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins this summer, the latest over C&D 13 days ago when having a bit to spare; a 4lb higher mark may prove less of a hindrance than the widest stall. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often front-runner; course winner over 7f last June and gained her fifth success when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) five starts ago; behind Barmyblade when third over this C&D before a lesser effort at Thirsk 11 days ago; could bounce back in this lower grade. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
She made a promising seasonal return in April but it has been downhill ever since; won this race in 2024 but she arrived in much better form; enough to prove. |
12/1 |
|
12th 12 (13) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
The most recent of her five wins a came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last September; yet to match the level of April's reappearance effort in seven starts since, including when sixth behind Royal Duke over this C&D two weeks ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 13 (11) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Her last win came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 11 months ago but after a promising reappearance in April it's largely been a struggle; seventh of ten at Hamilton off 1lb higher last Friday will need improving on. |

Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |

|
10th 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well held in three runs for Craig Lidster last year and he virtually refused to race on recent handicap/stable at Southwell (first run after wind/gelding operations); has plenty to prove on several counts and can only be watched at present. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was 15 months ago but he's run three solid races for his current yard including when third in a classified event here (5f, good to firm) last month; should be unfazed by this step back up in trip and he's in the mix back in a handicap. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up off her basement handicap mark on stable debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June and also ran well when fourth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; not really favoured by today's weights but can give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Ewan Whillans; sound run on stable debut when second at Wetherby last time (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has plenty of C&D form, including three wins prior to this season and a resurgent effort (close second) in reapplied cheekpieces latest start; attempts at this race have produced form figures of 345; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Her last three wins have all been over C&D but she hasn't been firing recently; the return to this track for the first time this year needs to have an impact. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Posted a good third over 5f here in June but she's beaten just one rival in two subsequent outings at Hamilton and back here; this course scorer needs to take a big step forward. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

5f wins at Ayr and Wolverhampton this summer; respectable midfield finish at Musselburgh two weeks ago; patchy record at Newcastle but this is not a strong race. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner; down the field in this race the last two years but there are reasons to expect better this time, with recent form figures featuring two wins (turf/AW). |
13/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |

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

Yet to offer much at all, tried in a hood when last of seven in 5f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|

21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Big prices and modest form in two 5f handicaps this summer, most recently at Hamilton on Thursday; plenty to find in first-time hood. |
50/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Fared a bit better when beaten under 5l at Musselburgh on handicap debut 16 days ago but she'll need to raise her game again to take this. |
33/1 |
