24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed her fifth win in a Beverley handicap (5f, good to firm) last month; had excuses subsequently but never showed back there 11 days ago; drops back in class and is on her last winning mark so may well show more. |

8st 5lb |
Won this in 2024 and landed a second C&D win when getting up late to see off nine rivals on good to firm last month; can have a line put through her subsequent effort here as she was repeatedly denied a clear run. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) and bang there on starts either side of that, beaten under a length; solid chance with C&D form to his name. |

3rd 7 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Retains ability aged eight; made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) last time, building on his reappearance effort and registering an eighth success; has never gained back-to-back wins, though. |
7/1 |

1st 4 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved. |

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. |
8/1 |

15th 16 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Winning for the fourth time when scoring at Beverley in June, and he was narrowly beaten in a blanket finish there on Monday; not ruled out. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Struggled in Class 4 event last time; in good form in Class 5 otherwise of late, including C&D success in June; drops back to Class 6 but still needs to prove he can win off marks higher than the 50s. |

Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; denied clear run when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time and kept on for third at Thirsk (6f, good) last Saturday; it's possible he'll get going too late back down to 5f but the stiff track and strong pace will help; chance. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
15/2 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

Has made the frame plenty of times since AW maiden win, close third at Thirsk most recently; 0-16 in handicaps but holds a fighting chance off unaltered mark, which is 12lb lower than opening one. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's been up and down this season but has won twice (5f, good to firm) and was a good second at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time when denied a clear run; no surprise if this progressive 4yo makes amends today. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Northern raider who has won twice on fast ground over 5f this season; had poor track position when below form at Beverley recently; no surprise if he bounces back quickly over this slightly longer trip. |
5/2 |

8th 6 (9) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Prevailed in small field at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last time, taking record in blinkers to 3-9; back up 4lb but Jack Callan takes off useful 3lb; has won over C&D; enters calculations. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, including over C&D last summer, who's regressed sharply in recent times; a few years since she ran at this low a level and that should help, but it will largely hinge on how she responds to wearing headgear for the first time. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |
