1st 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Enjoyed a good summer at a lower level but a slow start did for her when odds-on in a small field a fortnight ago; clearly well suited by a stiff 6f and this will be a different test against a better class of opponent. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed just once in first 13 starts but has hit form of late, defeating 15 rivals at Doncaster last month (6f) and did the business over C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; her second in between those wins is strong form for the grade; will take all the beating off just 2lb higher than last time. |
7/4 |

1st 4 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
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 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

Back to form when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) in April but he failed to back that up on his return visit two weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf but overall record is 1-13 and others are more convincing. |
11/1 |

6th 8 (8) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Yet to win a handicap, but was having his second start since wind surgery when second of ten over C&D last month; races off the same mark and considered. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won divisions of this in 2022 and 2024 but he's looking regressive; only seventh in a classified race at Thirsk last time which was won by Drish Samphire; 1lb out of the weights. |

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

11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |

4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Front-runner; knocking at the door on turf this summer but he's 0-14 on the grass and he's unlikely to get his own way up front in this field. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW who ran well from the front when second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; 0-13 on turf but remains 6lb lower than when second over C&D (firm) in May; could be hard to catch. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 12 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |

8st 2lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her. |

|
6th 11 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |

13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |

Still seeking his first win (0-9); one of two to race on the far side when third at Redcar (6f, good; 5-1) a fortnight ago; should find a winning opportunity eventually but there are at least a couple of others who make more appeal here. |

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance. |
