1st 1 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |
2/1 |
|
6th 7 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Only his third run for Jim Goldie when scoring at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and off a 2lb rise he was a closing third over 1m1f here (good) when not assisted by his track position; bang in form and should run well. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 15 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All wins over 7f, but he did run well over C&D in June 2023 and was staying on at the finish at Haydock (7f, good) last month; significant rainfall would aid his claims. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |
14/1 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who enjoyed a purple patch last September, winning back-to-back Carlisle handicaps and coming up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; returns from 170 days off on a tough enough mark and others make more appeal. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well in fourth at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two starts ago then failed to settle when well beaten at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time; he has some versatility trip-wise, having won over C&D last March, and he's capable of making an impact back down in distance. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three AW wins, the latest by a neck at Kempton (1m; from 4lb higher) this time last year; yet to win on turf (0-13), but did finish one place ahead of Yermanthere at Carlisle (1m1f, soft; 5-1) ten days ago; that form was boosted when third-placed Star Cast won easily at Chester on Saturday. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Triple AW winner who failed to get home, having raced too freely, over 1m2f in that sphere last time (still ran respectably); 0-12 on turf but was a good second off 6lb higher in last attempt; not ruled out. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow success in April took his C&D record to 2-3; has remained in form elsewhere since and his latest effort, in Class 2 at Epsom, can be marked up (hampered then rallied for third place); respected back here. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 10 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Made all at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in April on second stable start; respectable efforts when fifth on his next two outings but he needs something extra today and is unproven on slow ground. |
40/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good/firmer; has quickly found his form this season for new yard and ran creditably in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last Saturday when attempting to follow up his Beverley success (7.5f); may do better still. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back in form with three placed efforts this summer; the latest one took his C&D record to 1113; this front-running 8yo remains just 1lb above last winning mark; solid chance. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time C&D scorer; right back to his best of late when runner-up in 7f handicaps at Wetherby and Thirsk, caught only late on latter occasion; up 2lb but another bold showing is on the cards. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner who bounced back to his best with second of 14 in 7f Wetherby handicap 12 days ago; up 2lb but he remains 1lb below his last winning mark so merits serious consideration. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

8 (12) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his breakthrough victory over C&D in April but he's failed to match that form in three subsequent outings, 11th at York (1m) 16 days ago; blinkers are reached for now and he has something to prove. |
14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging start to career last summer (including here) and he tapped back into that 2yo promise to win at Beverley (7.4f, good) in April; however, he hasn't shone the last twice and has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't always looks the easiest, but has finished runner-up in both starts on Tapeta (including over 7f here) and got off the mark at Beverley (7f, good) in April; made little impression in the Silver Bowl at Haydock last time, but respected back in calmer waters. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ex-French filly who won on last summer's British debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); launched this campaign with two perfectly respectable runs, the latter over C&D, but others have more pressing claims all the same. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to kick on from her impressive winning stable debut last summer but she didn't run badly in a big-field handicap at Doncaster four weeks ago and that run should have tightened her up; could yet rate higher. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won well at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut for current stable but has failed to back up the form in three subsequent runs; perhaps best watched unless the betting foretells a turnaround. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

4yo filly whose handicap record is split into two halves, namely a progressive one followed by a dismal one; however, 1-1 at this track and could revive if her favoured soft ground materialises. |
20/1 |

11th 4 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins at about 1m on soft in 2025 but she had a quiet end to the year and was tailed off on her reappearance at Pontefract; has plenty to prove after that. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (9) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive in handicaps until form dipped sharply in last two appearances; chance of a revival weakens if the ground isn't soft (gained all three wins on that surface). |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A two-time 1m2f scorer here this summer but he turned in a rare poor effort when eighth of nine here last time; possibly found that run coming too quickly though so still enters calculations. |

8 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |

Won over C&D on good to firm in July and August and he was a close third six days ago on his only other visit to this track; ridden by Zak Wheatley in all but one of his races this season; considered in hot race. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained sole turf success in 2021 and it's two years since last AW win; 0-5 for current stable but he could strip fitter for his Beverley reappearance a fortnight ago. |
