23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hold-up performer who won two in a row in May (5.7f/6f, good to firm) before keeping on for fifth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm), and he was back on the scoresheet at Bath (5.7f, firm) three weeks ago; the return to a bare 5f may not be ideal but the stiff track compensates; respected. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to Tony Carroll and left a couple of quiet AW runs behind when scoring over C&D (beat She Went Whoosh by nearly 3l) and at Brighton (6f) in May; came up short in hat-trick bid at Windsor on Monday but was out of his comfort zone early over the bare 5f before plugging on into fifth; not dismissed if turned out quickly. |

5th 3 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again. |

3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Landed this race off 7lb higher last year; couldn't get involved over the bare 5f here 18 days ago but his two previous runs over this slightly longer trip were encouraging; likely there or thereabouts. |
7/1 |

C&D winner who comes here in decent nick, fourth of nine in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago; not out of things back in handicap company. |

3rd 5 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Standing dish here having recorded seven of his eight wins at the track, three over this trip; best of three efforts for this trainer was the first of them here (5.5f, good) last month; it's hard to rule him out here but he needs to be much better than his last two starts. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Has won on turf but is happiest on AW; expected to be caught out by this shorter trip on his return from nearly five months off. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Lingfield in November; well beaten in his three runs since and has more to prove than some of these. |

Best of the rest behind Neptune Legend over C&D in May (sole course run) but she's struggled since. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Just one win to her name (5f, AW) from 35 starts and she has finished out the back on her last two starts; steps up to 7f with a point to prove. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |

9th 2 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice last summer (including over C&D) and comes here on the back of a solid fifth in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three handicap wins, including at Wolverhampton, for previous yard; 0-6 and hasn't shown the same form for current stable but latest effort (back here) wasn't devoid of promise as regards this drop to classified grade; possibilities. |
3/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three minor sprint handicaps for Ollie Sangster last year; poor form in three runs in 2026, the latest at Bath last week, and she arrives with a point to prove. |
