8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

Tough sort but has done his winning this year in Class 4, including at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time when taking record to 8-55; faces a tougher task back up two grades. |

9st 13lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a 1m Pontefract win (good to soft; has also won on soft) off 1lb higher in April; pair of respectable thirds back there (good/good to firm) in July and considered back from a two-month break on ground which suits. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on first three starts this season (once over C&D) and was seemingly back in good nick when fourth at Carlisle (nearly 1m, good) last month; subsequent heavy-ground defeat is excusable, and he's on a good mark. |
10/1 |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago and he continues to edge down the weights; his best form has come on slow ground and he's firmly in calculations. |
8/1 |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; failed to beat a rival in two runs last month and needs to turn things around quickly. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

Record of 4-45 and last three runs, including two here, need forgiving; others preferred. |

Didn't see out 8.6f when sixth here this month but finished close up off today's mark on consecutive 7f Polytrack starts in the spring and has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

C&D winner; on last winning mark; two good runs on Polytrack this spring but his form dipped at Kempton six weeks ago; chance with a revival. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Respectable second at Hamilton last time but was almost 3l behind much younger rival Uncle Liam, who may again have the upper hand; losing run is mounting up. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Trip, track and ground are all fine; no threat at Thirsk last week but that was 1m and this trip is more suitable; each-way shout. |
