28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m wins on good ground last summer; not in the same form this time around and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Two 1m wins on good ground last summer, including at this track; well short of that level in two runs this year and stepping up in trip with cheekpieces added isn't enough to tempt. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Wide-margin classified win at Chepstow last July and she followed up in a Class 5 handicap at Haydock two weeks later (both 1m on good ground); well beaten in two runs since, including last month's return from 259 days on the sidelines; drops in class and could resume her progress. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner on good in June but held off this mark in a Class 3 over 1m1f at Hamilton 11 days ago and this is even harder. |
28/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Bounced back from a lesser effort when narrowly beaten in a first-time tongue-tie at Redcar (1m, good) in June before winning at York (1m2f, good) next time; won't mind this drop back in trip and holds claims off this 4lb higher mark. |
9/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to be found wanting for stamina over C&D two runs back but that was a warm handicap and he's since gone down narrowly in a Class 3 over 1m at Redcar (good; new tongue-tie), where he wasn't stopping; races up with the pace and firmly in the reckoning. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Notched a second success of the season at Nottingham (1m) in June; shaped as if still in form when a non-staying seventh in 1m2f handicap at Beverley two weeks ago; very much one to consider back in trip here. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins this term, latest at Nottingham last month (8.5f, good to firm); two close seconds since; an obvious contender but stamina to prove on first run at 1m2f (stays 1m1f). |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Generally consistent apart from one moderate run on good to soft this year; he has won twice this summer, at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and over C&D (good to firm) with Jake Dickson on board; looks sure to give another good account. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A fair 7f winner in 2025 for Grant Tuer; has failed to fire this season though, and underwent breathing surgery before coming in seventh in 1m handicap here for new yard two weeks ago; lots more is needed. |
14/1 |
|
7th 13 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Safely held on all three starts for Grant Tuer this spring but has since been given a wind op; makes stable debut from a good mark; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course scorer but it's now 17 starts since his last success; tried in blinkers when a below-par fifth of six in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; more is needed in a refitted visor. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some good runs in defeat this year, including here; however, only fourth of six behind Clipsham Noble over C&D (good to firm) last time and he's 0-16 since winning his first two starts in winter 2024/25; first-time blinkers replace the visor. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins over 7f on Newcastle AW on his first two starts; has been running well since the visor was added, finishing runner-up at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and twice finishing fourth at this track (1m4f/1m2f); solid claims. |

25/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to make any further progress since winning 1m Ripon maiden a year ago and has been safely held on all three starts this season; might be aided by new tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, though. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A fair 1m winner in 2025; yet to beat a rival in a pair of 1m/1m1f handicaps at Ayr this season though so has plenty to prove. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Displayed improvement when placed in Carlisle novice (1m, good to soft) in July, his third start, but two disappointing handicap runs have followed; moves up in trip and sports new cheekpieces; has a point to prove. |
16/1 |
|
4 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointing on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) last month but this 3yo was previously a promising third at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) and retains potential; no surprise if he bounces back with a big run. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run in three novices, but still looked green when beaten just over a length into third of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) last month; could well show more now handicapping and worth a second look. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on her second handicap start at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in May but has regressed since (in headgear the last twice); needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to win a 1m handicap at Haydock in May (good to firm); respectable efforts on her next two starts but she stopped quickly when tailed off at Haydock last month (cheekpieces first time); something to prove now tried in a visor; unraced on slower than good. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to get off the mark over C&D (good to firm) in May but, although not beaten far in either run since, she hasn't really built on that performance; cheekpieces given a go but needs to bounce back dropped 1lb. |
