5th 8 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Tends to be slowly away and is the type who needs everything to drop right if he's to win, but he's run several good races on AW this year and was fourth of 14 back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
4th 16 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner who is fine at 7f or 1m; has been running well for a while and latest effort in the new visor at Newcastle can be upgraded. |
14/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well at this level in recent weeks, coming from last to first over 1m here before finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); just as effective at 7f; the blinkers he's worn on his last five starts are now replaced by a first-time visor; should go well again. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained four of his eight wins over this C&D; made the frame off today's mark on consecutive starts at Carlisle last month (7f, soft/1m, good) and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Course regular who has registered four wins and five places from 21 starts here, including when scoring over 8.5f in April; has proved his stamina for 1m2f since July and has soft ground form too; may well make an impact. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (1) |

9st 10lb |
In good form over 7f, winning at Wolverhampton in June and placed at Carlisle and Catterick since; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb; drop in trip not ideal but this looks likely to be run at a strong pace. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

8st 13lb |
All four wins over 7f, including twice in quick succession over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, but he was second on his previous C&D visit; returned to form when 2l fourth of five at Musselburgh (7f) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago but he remains 4lb above those winning marks. |

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

4th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Won two 7f Catterick handicaps in May and was placed in this grade at Wolverhampton (7f) when back on AW last month; didn't fire when back at Catterick 17 days ago but still a major player here. |

9st 12lb |
Southwell winner (7f); couldn't hold off a late challenge at Doncaster (7f; 13-2) on penultimate start; restless in the stalls and ran too free when favourite at Beverley latest; perhaps a few pounds too high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Registered sole win on AW but he produced a career-best RPR when going down by only a neck at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) most recently; possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough with a clearcut success at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last September but he's not gone on from that and was down the field on Thirsk reappearance (7f, good) last month; still 8lb higher than for his win and others are preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

Front-runner; all three wins have been over 7f, including two here (soft/good); went close at Beverley (7.5f, good) in June but didn't get home over 1m at Thirsk 12 days ago; chance if coping with the drop back to 6f. |

Ended last season with a win and suddenly back to form two months ago when a clear second at Beverley (extended 7f; good); however, she's far from certain to follow one good run with another. |

2nd 1 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact. |

Two AW wins earlier in the year and he was back at his best when second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; has his first 6f run since his racecourse debut today but it shouldn't be a problem; high on the list. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner, including from this mark at Newcastle (7f) in February; is yet to win on turf (0-13) but was beaten a nose in this last year, and was returning from a ten-week break when sixth of ten at Redcar (7f; 50-1; beaten 10l) in June; others preferred. |

Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
