1st 4 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed her seventh win when scoring at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but has run below par at Ripon and Musselburgh since; the step back in trip is also unlikely to play to her strengths. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Is on a losing run of 20 but has been runner-up three times this year; has dropped to a career-low mark and holds place claims. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo who has been beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2024 but he's been runner-up a few times this year (including here) and was third at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; has a career-low mark; each-way chance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a similar race over C&D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner (2023); not far behind Barleybrown and Abu Royal here this month, but declined a winning opportunity (carried head high and idled) next time; visor didn't work at Beverley last week, so question marks persist. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run is mounting up and he didn't look particularly resolute when nevertheless going close at Musselburgh (1m) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new headgear. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins at Wolverhampton in March (9.5f and 1m4f) but form has tailed off significantly (pulled hard on last two starts) and he's hard to fancy at present. |
16/1 |
|
2 (4) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton in March but not so good in four starts since; only 1lb higher than for last success so not entirely out of this. |
11/2 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 114 in AW handicaps, the wins at Wolverhampton; has failed to transfer the form back to turf the last twice; may still have more to offer in this sphere and can't be dismissed. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at Musselburgh since June 2024 and yet to win away from that venue; last few efforts don't augur well and switching to Redcar is an unknown. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Led close home to win four-runner race here (1m1f, good) in July and ran at least as well when close second over that trip last month; contender if judged on that form but needs to better her last couple of efforts. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both of her wins have been at this track, the more recent last month under Alfie Redman over 1m1f, before finishing runner-up on her next start; below her best at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but she may well bounce back now returning to this track. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winless in two years and has regressed sharply this season, proving inconsistent in the visor in 0-55 company of late; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
20/1 |
|
8 (4) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap. |
12/1 |
|
5 (12) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 2-32 on turf, latest win at Ripon last August (1m2f, good); two fair runs over same C&D this season; a possible. |
8/1 |
|
6th 14 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
2-41 but didn't fare too badly when sixth of 12 on his return to action over C&D (good) nine days ago; 1lb wrong in the weights but offers more than many others here. |
16/1 |
|
6th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Has gained both wins on turf, three years apart; his last success was over C&D last summer but he was well held in final three runs last year; 6lb out of the weights on his return and best watched in this competitive race. |
25/1 |
