5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner who made all at Ripon (6f, good) in June and he had an excuse after missing the break in the Great St Wilfrid there last time; now drops back in grade and he's a big player if he can get back near best. |
3/1 |

6th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Positives include a C&D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Stumbled/unseated in first-time visor (retained since) at Carlisle in May but posted a career-best when winning by 2l over C&D (good) in June, and he was denied a clear run when third of six at Pontefract (6f, good) subsequently; high on the list. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed. |
11/2 |
|

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise. |
8/1 |
|

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark. |
11/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks consistency now and has become hard to win with; down to a career-low mark but his record here is far from exciting and he's some way down the pecking order. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Usually held-up and seems versatile ground-wise; has won on at Southwell (6f, AW) and York (6f, good) this summer, but he faded back at York last time and needs to take his form to a new level to come out on top today. |
8/1 |
|
12th 10 (19) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The winner of two of his three starts in 2026, notably a big-field Class 4 over C&D six weeks ago; 4lb higher in a stronger race and his draw may not be advantageous. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and ran well for second back at that track 26 days ago; 2lb higher today but the new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 11 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has had some ups and downs in handicaps but is 2-3 in them over C&D (latest win when getting the better of Indian Run in June) and was seriously impeded in the other; has claims with Billy Loughnane up for the first time. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First handicap win when he scored at Windsor in August and he'd dropped to the same mark when registering another win over that C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; 2lb nudge but everything that's come out of that race has run well subsequently, including wins for the runner-up and ninth, and he's firmly considered in his follow-up bid. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who shaped well when runner-up in 6f York handicap in June; refitted with cheekpieces when a below-par ninth at Ayr (6f) following month; goes well on soft ground so this veteran can't be dismissed after a break though. |
8/1 |
|
9th 3 (16) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who still retains most of his ability and gave a good account when keeping-on second of 21 at York (6f, good) last month; still only 1lb higher than for C&D (heavy) win in October and will be favoured by any rain. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface. |
16/1 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Running well this year, including close third to Vantheman over C&D in May, and he posted a deserved win in a big field at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago; raised 5lb but he was very competitive off similar marks in 2024. |

9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

5th 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Won her first two starts in handicaps last summer and had excuses off her revised mark latterly; a surprise maiden win on comeback last spring gives hope as she returns from eight months off and she remains low mileage. |
8/1 |
|
9 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive type with three 6f wins from six attempts, the latest at Carlisle (good to soft) in July; another fine effort when beaten 1l at Haydock (7f, good to firm; pulled hard) last month; this switch back to sprinting looks a positive move and she's high on the list again. |
15/2 |
|
6 (3) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Record is 3-5, all wins over 6f, latest at the stiff Carlisle (good to soft); pedigree suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; commands respect with further improvement plausible. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |
13/2 |
|
11th 6 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |

Without a win since last season's Portland handicap at Doncaster (good) off this very mark; races prominently and rallied for second here last time; clear claims, for all that she's one of a few who might want to be up there early. |

2nd 11 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Won last season's Portland handicap at Doncaster off a 1lb higher mark; she made a slow start to 2026 but there have been encouraging signs more recently, fourth at Ayr (6f, soft) and then second at Doncaster (5f, good to firm); form dipped here (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; could bounce back. |

A four-time scorer (including twice over C&D) in 2025; back on track with fifth of 20 over C&D 17 days ago when first home in his group; must enter calculations off the same mark in a change of headgear. |

Winless since 2024 but he comes here in good nick, not seen to ideal effect when ninth of 12 in 6f Southwell AW handicap last month when racing wide; of some interest off a 3lb lower mark with yard going very well. |

He had dropped a long way in the weights before ending a losing run at Newcastle (5f) in March; added a C&D win in April and he has run well in defeat in both runs since; creeping back up the weights and had a 53-day break but he has the ability to go well. |

Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |
