16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
4-10 at Redcar but latest win was July 2025 and he's not been seen to anything like such good effect since, including three times here; latest start (mid-division in large field over 1m) was first visit here this term and he now moves back up in trip, having won four times over 1m2f during 2022 and 2023. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Redcar including over C&D last July; now 7lb lower than for that success, but he's lost his way since then and has been well held in both runs this season; needs a big turnaround. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two good runs here (1m and 1m1f, good ground) in midsummer but he has finished out the back in both subsequent runs, latterly when 17l behind Zermatt Star at Ripon last week; risky. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Doubled his tally with 1m1f victory at Carlisle in July; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap since though so needs to bounce back. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on Tapeta including three at Newcastle (5f-7f); her last success was in July and she's run creditably here (5f) in both subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and she has possibilities on this step back up in trip. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well backed when winning a C&D handicap in July; performed with credit in a much stronger race here two weeks ago; 1lb lower today and she has a good chance back down into a Class 6. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Back to form with a bang when winning a C&D handicap 26 days ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and a 7lb rise against deeper opposition looks beyond her. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Proved resurgent with keeping-on fifth over C&D last time; may ideally need a return to further but is attractively weighted; won off 5lb higher here (1m) in April. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |
|
10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced filly who's put together two good efforts at Carlisle (7f and 1m; both on soft) on recent starts; shouldn't be far away off the same mark as last time; unraced on quicker than good to soft since debut. |
6/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Got back on track when fourth of ten in 7f handicap here 19 days ago; she needs considering off a 1lb lower mark in her bid for a maiden victory. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice in a row at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) before completing the hat-trick when dead-heating at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm); he's 5lb higher than last time but remains well treated on his old form; respected. |

1st 3 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Decent 3yo who's enjoyed a revival round Chepstow of late, beating a subsequent winner off 7lb lower last month before following up a fortnight ago; every chance of completing the hat-trick. |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins at Redcar, the latest a 7f handicap in May off 3lb lower; he has finished last in his two runs since and connections now turn to a visor (wore cheekpieces to no avail once in April). |

8th 7 (1) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Made it 2-2 on this track when winning over 7f (good to firm) in May; never involved at Catterick last week and now needs to prove himself at 1m, one previous defeat at the trip coming after a winter break. |

7th 4 (6) |
9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last June and returned to form to make it 2-2 there in May (7f, good to firm); has to prove he can do it away from Redcar but he's entitled to respect on the back of that win. |
