11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who is enjoying a fine season and bagged win number five when completing a hat-trick in 1m2f handicap at Ripon 12 days ago; this likeable front runner merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f). |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |
33/1 |

13th 11 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not as good now and has his share of off days; back on a winning mark, though, has a C&D win to his name and this is less competitive than he's used to returning from ten weeks off. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 came at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September; placed at Thirsk (7f) in April and Hamilton (1m1f) in June, before a slight dip in form; latest Ayr fifth (1m2f, beaten under 5l) respectable; 2lb lower, with claiming rider Shay Farmer booked, so isn't discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |
20/1 |
|
10th 14 (16) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Upped markedly in trip here (1m6f) four weeks ago and predictably failed to stay; previous form (7f-1m1f) is solid enough but a wide draw could be difficult to overcome. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |

Won first two races this year, the second a 1m3f handicap here by 5l (good); mixed form since (faced a stiff task last time); each-way chance. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A gelding operation saw him improve to win a pair of 1m3f handicaps in the spring, and following a blip he was back in form when third at Ripon (1m4f, good) on Saturday; that may suggest he's plateaued for now but he can't be readily dismissed. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but prior to that he was 2-2 since being gelded, with convincing wins at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); could bounce back. |
9/2 |
