28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Had a fair bit of racing but back to her very best with cheekpieces refitted, going back-to-back over C&D on soft and heavy ground; did it comfortably enough last week to seriously consider under a penalty (effectively only 2lb higher with Pippa Brown claiming 3lb). |

|
1st 7 (6) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A switch to cheekpieces saw her bounce back to top form when winning over C&D (soft; five of today's rivals behind) 18 days ago; up 4lb but respected with underfoot conditions to suit. |

1st 9 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Class 6 C&D handicap on this card 12 months ago; added to her tally at Thirsk in June but unable to build on it since; hopes appear to rest on a headgear change giving her a lift. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |
4/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three wins at Catterick and one (this June) at Beverley; last three outings (back in Class 6 last time) don't suggest he's about to score today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year off a 5lb lower mark; latest heavy-ground effort may be best overlooked and he's one to consider back round here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 14 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap in June; runner-up off this mark on his next two starts and another solid C&D run last month; stiff task latest and this should be more suitable; contender. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

9st 9lb |
Blinkered for the first time when gaining a deserved first success in 13-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f) 24 days ago; up 3lb but he's a player in the retained headgear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he has shown winning potential, including when keeping on for fourth at Southwell on Sunday having been short of room over 1f out; has to prove his stamina for a stiff 7f though. |

8/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time sprint winner including over C&D; her last success was 13 months ago but she showed signs of a revival when a 2l fifth in a Redcar handicap (6f, good to firm) last week; has possibilities if she can build on that. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Two of her five wins have come at Redcar; well handicapped on 2025 best but she's yet to hit top gear this year; others have more pressing claims. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and Catterick (both 6f on good to firm) this summer; ran well for second at Catterick six weeks ago but other pace and a wide stall dent confidence this time. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and over this C&D in July (both on good to firm), the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best here on his last two starts but is worth forgiving for the latest effort, having come across to the near side rail; may be able to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and over C&D last month; only fourth behind Miss Rainbow here 13 days ago but he used up a lot of energy getting to the front from the widest stall; better drawn today and he should have a big run in him. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Admirable veteran who is 5-12 at Redcar and made all in two 16-runner races over C&D (good) in August/September; held in his hat-trick bid at Ripon last time but that was another solid effort and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

Veteran who is 4-20 at Ripon and made all in 16-runner races at Redcar (6f, good) on his last two outings to take his overall win total to 13; back up another 4lb but he's back in the groove. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (17) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Veteran who recorded his 12th win when making all to beat 15 rivals over C&D (good) last month; up 7lb but that a dominant display from a high draw and he's now 4-11 at Redcar; leading contender. |

Infrequent winner who's having a first ever run at beyond sprint trips at the age of seven; has been in good form on turf and has often run well in defeat round here but stamina is an obvious concern. |

8st 9lb |
Produced her best performance for a long time when second of 16 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Redcar (6f, good) last month; however, the headgear didn't have the same effect when mid-division there (6f, good) last time and she remains a maiden after 26 starts. |

Still a maiden after 25 starts but she did best of the rest behind Hurstwood over C&D (first-time blinkers) last month; that was her best effort for some time and has possibilities if she can back that up. |
8/1 |

2nd 18 (16) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Runs well now and again but arrives here with a record of 0-24 and from out of the weights; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
