23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |

7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not a frequent winner (3-36) but running well on turf lately and has been placed in his last four visits here; one for the shortlist. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just 1-22 but scores good marks for her consistency since 6f AW win in January; denied clear run before keeping on for fifth in recent C&D contest won by Jkr Cobbler; each-way claims at least. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Largely consistent mare who was third over 6f at Hamilton on her last two appearances; also suited by this longer trip and won't mind if the ground is slower than good; probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Largely consistent mare who was respectable third of seven when dropped back in trip for C&D (good to soft) amateur riders' race a fortnight ago; probably won't be far away. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March; back on turf for the first time since last October but he's 8lb lower today and he does act on grass; however, jockey bookings suggest Highfield Viking is the stable preferred. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix. |
13/2 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Tough, consistent sort; hasn't won on turf for more than three years but plenty of decent placed runs this term, including when second over 1m here in May (good to firm) and when close third over 6f at Hamilton in June (good to soft); yet to win over 1m. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for Michael Dods when finishing off strongly in a 7f AW handicap in March; only 1lb higher today but he will need to step up on last month's return from a three-month break; ground query. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |
15/2 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |

7th 9 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
7/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

Five wins this year, with first four on AW and latest on turf at Redcar (7f, good) in May; placed twice since that last success but he didn't shine at Doncaster last time and he looks weighted near best off this mark. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

3rd 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Is enjoying a fine season and he racked up a fifth victory at Redcar (7f) in May; posted another very good effort with second of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 24 days ago so he's a likely player once more. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

11 (12) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |
