3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Veteran with a splendid 17 wins to his name; one of them came over C&D but he's probably better elsewhere and he beat only two home here ten days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who was completing a summer hat-trick when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) in August; back in form when third over that C&D (soft) three weeks ago and he's already down to his last winning mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Scored over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces in June; didn't fire on latest outing but was placed twice over 1m2f beforehand and looks interesting now back at this track and with the cheekpieces back on. |
8/1 |
|
14th 8 (10) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, although ground slower than good would pose a question mark. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Had cheekpieces on for the first time when winning over 1m at Pontefract in June and went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) next time; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up there over 1m2f last time and may have a bit more to offer at this trip. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Now 1lb below the mark he defied over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) in June but recent efforts have been a little short of that level, including fourth back at Musselburgh on Saturday. |
25/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Course form figures read 21315, with the latest win coming over C&D in June, and when fifth over C&D on his latest start this prominent racer had an excuse (slowly away); he's 1lb below his last winning mark and is capable of playing a leading role. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins on this track, the latest over C&D off this mark in first-time cheekpieces in June (good); hasn't done as well since, but an interesting contender on a track where his record is 2131. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row before filling the same position over C&D (soft) 11 days ago, behind Empirestateofmind; soundly beaten at Hamilton (1m1f, heavy) two days later but that may have come too soon; in the mix if bouncing back. |
9/2 |

5th 5 (9) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 4yo maiden whose turn may be near, having finished a good second in last three starts, latest when 1l behind Empirestateofmind at Ayr (1m, soft; clear of remainder) on Friday; gets a 4lb pull with that rival; solid chance. |
100/30 |

2nd 8 (10) |

No wins in 15 but bang there in his last three races, at 1m1f and 1m2f; handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so has to be considered. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |
14/1 |

10th 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in May and also runner-up here in June/July (all good to firm; won on soft in Ireland earlier in career); has ended the summer in equally good form, including getting his head back in front at Newcastle (1m) 12 days ago but he's yet to win back to back in his 54-race career. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
An infrequent winner but he's run many good races on this track to go with his 7f win in late 2024; another sound effort when going close over this C&D on Wednesday and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
