11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many. |
5/2 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in eight starts, though it looked as though he would apprciate the return to this trip when fifth of ten on his Wolverhampton return (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; still needs a bit more, though. |
5/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and lightly raced since a promising 2yo debut; out of the frame in two starts over 7f here in the spring (in cheekpieces, now removed); returns from another 104 days off and only of interest if backed. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unfavourably treated on these terms but he's in form after back-to-back handicap wins at 6f; should give his running. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won divisions of this in 2022 and 2024 but he's looking regressive; only seventh in a classified race at Thirsk last time which was won by Drish Samphire; 1lb out of the weights. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |
15/2 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has run two good races this season, last time getting off the mark on turf at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Bagged a third success of 2025 over C&D in November; off for nine months, having undergone breathing surgery, before returning with a good third of nine at Pontefract (5f) 17 days ago; one to consider now. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since below-par run at Newcastle last November (wind op in interim); however, she won three times in the second half of last year, two of them here, and she ran well first time up last term; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Only 1-19 but the win came over C&D in late 2024 and recent respectable runs have been over 8.6f/7f (in an eyeshield latterly); could have a say with Jack Dace taking off 5lb. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (16) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win from 15 runs came on Tapeta at Southwell (6f) last November; a bit below peak form when last in action in July, third of five in a modest five-runner Class 6 handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 9-2). |
25/1 |
|
7 (7) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win came at Southwell (6f, AW) in November; ran below market expectations when fourth in a Brighton classified (6f, good to firm; 7-4) last time but she had excuses (saddle slipped and was struck into); worst two runs came on testing ground but they were at 1m. |
