15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Notched a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps in midsummer; not so good since but he was badly hampered last 1f when seventh of 11 over C&D last time; no forlorn hope off a slipping mark. |
25/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps this summer but he's been well below par there and at Thirsk (5f) since; needs to bounce back. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beat the same horse in bagging two Class 5s at Pontefract (both by a length) but he trailed home last there four weeks ago in a Class 3; might be high in the weights now. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice over 5f at Wolverhampton and Pontefract in April; his more recent form is not so encouraging, however, and he beat only one in 5f Ripon handicap last time; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |
14/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April and there have been plenty of solid runs since; should remain competitive but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins at Catterick and one (this June) at Beverley; last three outings (back in Class 6 last time) don't suggest he's about to score today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year off a 5lb lower mark; latest heavy-ground effort may be best overlooked and he's one to consider back round here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 14 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap in June; runner-up off this mark on his next two starts and another solid C&D run last month; stiff task latest and this should be more suitable; contender. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but is in form, having made the frame in four of his last six races, and remains attractively treated on historical data; return to winning ways is not out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Extended losing run to 26 when finishing in midfield at Chester in July (again slowly away); has the ability to win off this mark but he is not a solid option. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
8lb lower than when beaten a head in a division of this last year; missed the kick here two weeks ago but nothing finished better and he looks ready to win again. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to get off the mark but recorded ninth top-three finish in 13 starts when runner-up at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month, on first try at this distance; looks a matter of time before she gets on the scoresheet. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
12-race maiden who was runner-up behind the progressive Naana's Shadow here over 5f in April; respectable effort at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) eight days ago and now returns to maiden company with stamina to prove on her first try over 7f. |
11/2 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent maiden who's proved competitive in handicaps this season without looking to have anything in hand, or anything left in the way of improvement; still has each-way claims coming back up from 5f. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Quirky filly who's been very expensive to follow this season, getting beaten a long way at 8-13 in a maiden early last month before another poor one in a Polytrack handicap; more than enough ability and it will largely hinge on the first-time headgear. |
9/4 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but she should find a race on the pick of her turf form this summer and she acts on Polytrack; should be suited by the return to 5f in her first AW handicap at the trip and has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden who has finished second six times; needs to prove she can get the job done and it's possible that 5f is her optimum trip, but she has the best form in the field and this could be a good opportunity. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Recorded an account-opening success in the spring but has finished last in most outings since; far from solid. |
50/1 |
|
8th 4 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came in a 5f handicap here in April off the same mark as today's but he's mostly struggled since; has failed to beat a rival on his last two outings and the headgear is now removed. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place. |
9/1 |
