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) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins here and nearly made that five last month on two occasions, since when he's again gone close at Pontefract; likely contender off the same mark as for last two runs. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runner-up at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on stable debut in April, but he's not come close to that form in three runs since and his overall record is now 0-23; opposable in another switch of headgear. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
22-race maiden (placed at up to 11.5f) whose better efforts over the past 12 months would give him each-way claims; needs to bounce back after a couple of below-par AW efforts. |
5/1 |
|
7th 3 (13) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Second five times at up to 1m2f, including in first blinkers at Beverley in April on yard debut; heavy defeat over 1m4f four weeks ago sees a visor return today; 0-21 tally (0-5 on AW) is probably the bottom line. |

3rd 6 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over the extended 1m at Beverley, two this May; underwhelming prospects judged on two runs here, admittedly back in 2024 but he looks opposable seeing as he may well need a career best. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Ties in with some of today's rivals on recent C&D form but is still seeking a first success at this trip; has gained all Beverley wins over the extended 1m. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; 0-55 handicap); not so good since, including in a classified race last week, and others are preferred for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came from well off the pace to win a handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in May, but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since and this track isn't sure to suit his hold-up style; others preferred. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came from an unpromising position to win a 7f handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) in May; has not matched it in two runs since and this isn't sure to set up for him. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; consistently below market expectations of late and will want to settle better than over C&D last time, coming from stall 13 under a jockey taking just her third ride. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; will want a good test over this trip round here and hasn't been at his best on grass lately. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored twice (around 1m) at Ayr and Beverley last summer; back in decent nick in 2026, fifth in 8.5f Beverley handicap 22 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again from an easing mark. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner; on the downgrade now but fairly consistent in handicaps in recent months; went without her usual cheekpieces on last two outings; big player in this grade if first-time visor has any positive effect. |
11/4 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over the extended 1m here; losing run up to 13, but 16lb below her last winning mark and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of six here (1m, good) three weeks ago; stays this far and could go well. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of two 1m handicaps, on Newcastle AW and here on heavy; capable of going well back at 1m, having raced too freely over 1m4f last time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently well in recent months including winning a handicap at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; yet to attempt this far, but still one for the shortlist down to this level for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Both wins over 1m, at Ffos Las (heavy) last September and at Newcastle (AW) last month; finished second of six at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month and she is one for the shortlist off the same mark. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back in better form over 7f at Doncaster and Leicester the last twice; still attractively treated, having gained sole handicap win off 12lb higher (over 1m); respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated since his last win last May but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; has another career-low mark today and is not ruled out. |
