18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; flashed home to win a 7f handicap at Chester in May but it has been a mixed bag since, including dropped into a seller at Chester four weeks ago; dangerous mark if the addition of a tongue tie has a positive effect. |
10/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp winner of a Class 3 handicap here (7f, good) in May but he hasn't matched that form since and was well held over C&D (good to soft) last time; hood now returns but this is highly competitive for a seller and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Produced a strong finish for a last-gasp success off this mark here (7f, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level since but he had some serious traffic issues when a creditable third here last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Two good runs here on fast ground this season, winning over 7f on first occasion; has rather lost his form recently; best form on faster ground. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C&D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; mainly well below par this season though, only 14th in 1m1f York handicap last month; has it to prove at present. |
25/1 |

14th 8 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good second at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in April but well beaten behind some of today's rivals on his two outings since. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |
9/2 |

9th 11 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in April and posted another solid effort with third of nine over C&D ten days ago; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back off the same mark as when making a successful stable debut/reappearance over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in April; possible to forgive his latest effort on the AW and holds good claims otherwise, albeit good to firm ground may pose a small question. |
13/2 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and he's remained in good heart on both starts since (1m, good/good to firm); each-way claims provided the return to AW isn't an issue. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had a fine year in 2025 and he spent the spring in the handicapper's claws; offered more encouragement when tried in cheekpieces at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; should have a big run in him. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |

A fair and largely reliable 7f winner in 2025; has his first run for nine months here but he has won off a break so is no forlorn hope. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His nine wins have been on good ground or slower, with six of them coming at Chester; caught wide there on his reappearance and was well held in seventh there over 7f 13 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces back on. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Responded well to the fitting of a hood when off the mark at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; best effort since when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; still 4lb higher than for his win so needs a bit more. |

Off the mark at sixth attempt when scoring with hood added at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; finished a 5l sixth in both runs since but he had some traffic issues on both occasions and still looks feasibly treated on his peak form; could be a big factor if he gets the breaks this time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); good second over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) last month and he had a near-miss over C&D (good) on Friday night; hard to rule out another big run but this is a quick turnaround and he's 6lb out of the weights. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-10 on turf but has made the frame off today's mark twice in recent weeks (6f/7f, good to firm) and has good draw here; probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on the AW (7f/1m), the most recent at Chelmsford last August, but he returned to form at Windsor (6f, good to firm) ten days ago, finishing well to be second of 11; won't mind the step back up in trip and he's shortlisted. |
