17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Six wins this year, including his last four starts; coped well with the return to 5f at Hamilton last month but the return to 7f won't hurt; now moves out of Class 6 company but can't be discounted in current form. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |

1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Only 1-24 and again came up short at Yarmouth (6f) where she was given every chance; looks hard to win with. |
12/1 |

3rd 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Sole win from 23 starts came at Newcastle in September 2024; runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) and Catterick (7f, good to firm) in July, but ran poorly at Ripon last time; may be able to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Her 22 starts have yielded just one win but she was a close second of 18 at 25-1 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and backed that up when runner-up to at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, albeit no match for the thriving winner; firmly in calculations given recent showings. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Won four times last year; promising third at Ayr last month but she hasn't built on it in two subsequent outings; sneaking down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) off 10lb higher last year; has largely struggled since but latest Catterick fourth from well off the pace was a step back in the right direction and has obvious handicapping scope if able to build on that. |
11/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-15 and he hasn't really threatened to put that right this time around; well drawn but likely vulnerable again. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest maiden at his best in 2024 and 2025; not so good for new yard this year but latest start, when wearing first-time cheekpieces over 7f, was at least a step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |

5th 9 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
When fifth of 14 at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month he was trapped wide and failed to settle, so that run wasn't without promise, but he's since been well beaten at Newcastle (6f, AW) and is now 0-13; cheekpieces go on; plenty to prove. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11yo who made virtually all to win at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; unplaced on both starts since but he failed to settle and was denied a clear run here on the first occasion; has won here three times; not ruled out. |
7/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |

Won twice over 7f at Catterick in May (good); not at his best last three runs, but stable back in form and interesting with cheekpieces now tried. |

4th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yet to win on turf (0-12); hasn't managed to beat many rivals in three starts this year, only eighth of nine at Catterick (7f; 28-1) 24 days ago; handicap mark continues to slide. |
20/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's 1lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September and is also effective on turf; however, following a break he's finished down the field on grass on his last two starts; has to get back on track. |
20/1 |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time course winner who showed some spark when third over C&D in May; however, this 7yo has struggled on her four starts since and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims. |

9th 7 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slow starts are becoming an issue and she's been well beaten on her last two starts; however, she showed spark when third over C&D (good) three runs ago and she won this last year (good to firm); not discounted. |
