3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

Sole win in 23 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up over 1m on good; dropped out to finish last of 16 on yard debut at Naas last month; needs to leave that effort well behind. |

Sole win in 22 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up by 4.5l over 1m on good; finished second off revised mark twice since, including at Nottingham 39 days ago; form has worked out; interesting on stable debut dropped in trip. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often slowly away; beaten 6l when third of ten in a handicap over this C&D last month but she never featured in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) nine days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner (8.6f), but she's not been at her best this winter and was beaten 6l when third in a Southwell handicap last time; has something to prove and she meets most of today's rivals on unfavourable terms. |

April's C&D handicap win reads well; not in the same form since but returning to classified company, where she's 1-2, should help. |
4/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of valid excuses since a Bath win in the spring; there was a poor effort on Tapeta last time but she's capable of popping up back on turf. |
10/1 |
|
10th 13 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale. |

1m turf win for Craig Lidster as a 2yo; unfancied and beaten 9.25l+ in two runs this winter; only of interest if stronger in the betting. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m turf winner (good), when 1lb lower and with Craig Lidster; 50-1 when returning from a lengthy layoff over C&D recently and beaten over 15l; visor goes on; plenty to prove at present. |
50/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m Redcar nursery for Craig Lidster in September 2024 off a 3lb lower mark; gelded during his 477-day absence; not fully exposed and he is worth a market check on his belated return. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Advanced her form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when an emphatic winner over C&D and had a wide trip when second under a penalty at Wolverhampton; up another 4lb but this filly could be improving. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Advanced her form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when an emphatic winner of 1m handicap at Bath three days ago; weighted to go close under a 5lb penalty. |

1st 2 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win in 14 runs came over 6f at Yarmouth (good to firm) last summer; has been up and down since then but she's back on her winning mark and had an excuse with traffic issues on return from layoff (8.4f) last month; cheekpieces are now added and she's not ruled out back in trip. |

9st 11lb |
2-4 since returned to turf in April, the latter win gained at Catterick (7f, good for firm) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb higher here if Conor Whiteley's reduced claim is considered but ought to go well again. |
9/2 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Winner over 7f at Musselburgh in April (good) and sound run back up to 1m there last time (good); below par tried in cheekpieces in between; can be involved. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Backed when winning over 7f here in April (good) and first-time cheekpieces perhaps backfired at Doncaster; those aids are now left off but has stamina to prove over this far. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Only ever won once and ran poorly here, back from a break, when last seen seven weeks ago; some way down the pecking order. |

8th 9 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-44 but has made the frame off higher marks in his last two visits here (1m/7f); record suggests this first start in 103 days may be needed, though. |
14/1 |
|
8th 14 (18) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle. |

12th 6 (14) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Well treated on her best form, but she was tailed off in her final two runs last winter and is still a maiden after 16 attempts; looks opposable back from 216 days off. |
33/1 |

10th 8 (1) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

0-15; went close to breaking her duck at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November, when 4lb higher; inconsistent and arrives with a little bit to prove after finishing last back at Newcastle (7f) latest. |
16/1 |
