17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often slowly away but not so when gaining a first success of 2026 in seven-runner handicap over C&D 18 days ago; up 3lb but still not out of things. |
3/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner; has come up well short in big fields at York a couple of times of late; otherwise a consistent sort and has frame possibilities off current mark in this scenario. |
13/2 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races from 1m-1m2f last season, including two on fast ground; well beaten over 1m4f here in May, but bounced back with a sound fourth at Carlisle last time (1m, good to firm); on a fair mark now. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took a while to put her head in front but having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f; blinkers first time), she followed up in emphatic fashion at Newcastle last week; escapes a penalty for that win and she's due to be 9lb higher in the future; obvious claims. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made her breakthrough at the 13th attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and she's still unexposed on AW; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; regularly run well in defeat this year, going down narrowly over 1m at Thirsk three weeks ago; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored five times last season (twice over C&D) but yet to hit top form this term, just a fair fifth of nine to Daring Leader at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ten-time winner; kept on for never-dangerous fifth, beaten under 3l, when favourite for the latest Beverley race won by Anificas Beauty; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms. |
13/2 |

5th 1 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo mare whose C&D form includes one of her five wins last term and a resurgent effort on penultimate start; latest race didn't pan out favourably; runner-up in this contest three years ago; likely player. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who followed a good C&D second on his return in April with a below-par sixth in 7f Carlisle handicap last month; not the easiest to predict but he goes very well here so needs considering. |
11/2 |

6th 1 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Won off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November but she's been a long way below that level on her last four starts. |
25/1 |
|
15th 5 (15) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |
|
6 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slow starts are becoming an issue and she's been well beaten on her last two starts; however, she showed spark when third over C&D (good) three runs ago and she won this last year (good to firm); not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Likes it here but just one run of note since returning from a third bout of wind surgery in April and returning to this longer trip isn't a positive. |
