11th 10 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who got back on track with a close third from off the pace at Catterick (6f, good to soft) last week; has leading claims if she can repeat that form and this return to quicker is a positive (all six wins have been on good/good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, all in late summer 2024; remains 4lb above her last successful mark and has lost her way of late, so will need a revival. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ran on well when winning a 6f handicap at Redcar in May; well held at Pontefract last month but that was in Class 5 company; 4lb lower than for her win in this race in 2024; should go well. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick in May (1m3f/12.4f, good) and he was back on song when third at Hamilton (11.6f, soft) a fortnight ago; this two-time course winner is in with a chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been below that level on his last three outings. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Weighted to her best still, despite having run poorly in two starts back; the visor worn for last year's three wins returns today, which is an obvious plus point and could bring about an improved showing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course regular whose 23 appearances have seen her placed eight times, including two wins at 7f; she finished second and third in two course classified events (7f) last month and can't be dismissed back in a handicap, albeit this first crack at 6f since her three qualifying runs in 2021 poses a question. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner and she returned to form in a first-time visor (replaced cheekpieces) when narrowly denied in a similar event three weeks ago; has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time course winner who showed some spark when third over C&D in May; however, this 7yo has struggled on her four starts since and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompting a revival. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unexposed 3yo; hasn't shown a great deal but on a lowly mark for handicap debut and worth monitoring in the market. |
6/1 |
|
6 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

More one for handicaps after this based on her efforts over 6f/7f at Doncaster this month. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

AW winner for previous stable; far from solid on his form for current yard; drops back to 1m after attempting 1m5f at Ayr last time. |
33/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent 4yo who has been out of sorts in his three runs (1m/1m2f) this year; overall record is now 1-25 and he has plenty to prove at this new trip. |
33/1 |
|
11th 10 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent 4yo who is 1-24 and showed no benefit for wind surgery when last seen in February. |
