30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

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. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but only just failed over C&D in August (having suffered a poor run) and posted another solid effort when fourth of ten at Ripon (6f) two weeks ago; should remain competitive. |
16/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (September 2022); reliable in 2026, inching ever closer; beaten a nose by the in-form Mr Cool at Redcar (6f, good; 12-1) ten days ago; small 2lb rise, coupled with less favourable low draw, enough to further frustrate? |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Pontefract handicap 17 days ago; can make his presence felt off the same mark. |

8st 13lb |
Bagged a third success of 2025 over C&D in November; off for nine months, having undergone breathing surgery, before returning with a good third of nine at Pontefract (5f) 17 days ago; one to consider now. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since below-par run at Newcastle last November (wind op in interim); however, she won three times in the second half of last year, two of them here, and she ran well first time up last term; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |

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 |

6th 5 (7) |
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. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both turf wins have been on good to firm, the most recent in a three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f) in June; didn't get the best of passages when fifth in a race won by Royal Duke over C&D two weeks ago but ground slower than good would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
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. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a career-low mark for a yard that doesn't send many here and he is worth tracking in the market; seems on the downgrade, though, and he hasn't run at beyond 5f since 2023; others make more obvious appeal. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
He's on a career-low mark but has finished down the field on his three starts since making an encouraging return to action at Ripon in May; needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |

9th 2 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won 5f Ayr handicap off 6lb higher in May last year (5f, good to firm) but mainly disappointing since, including on last two starts; bit to prove at present. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Speedy 3yo who made all at Catterick (6f, good) in May; raced alone against the far rail when sixth of 12 at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June and shaped when fourth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago as though the return to 5f would be well worth a go; could make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who gained his third win when holding on to land a Catterick handicap over 6f in May; ran well at Doncaster (6f, good) next time and it looks worth forgiving last month's Newcastle effort (5f, AW), having raced alone towards the far rail; could go well. |
3/1 |
|
6th 11 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps have seen good progress since November, including scoring twice over 6f here; won again at Catterick (6f, good; made all) last month and good third of 14 at Doncaster (6f again) since; while best form has been at 6f, the speed he's shown in recent starts suggests he should be equally effective at 5f; likely to go well. |

Up and down over 5f during this 3yo campaign; steps back up in trip for the first time since his debut but others preferred. |

|
8th 7 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Up and down during this 3yo campaign but he was a good third at Musselburgh (5f, good) in April and would have been closer than sixth at Chester (5f, good) recently granted a clear run; could be involved. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

A winner for the Crisfords; nearly won again at Musselburgh in April (5f) but has trailed home last in his two races since, latterly with a tongue-tie and blinkers tried (now removed); drawn wide. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
7-26 on AW but 0-18 on turf; benefits from ease in grade today, but this summer's 5f form has been underwhelming and that is his usual trip. |
20/1 |
|
9th 4 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-17 on turf as opposed to 7-26 on AW and unplaced on grass on his two starts this summer; however, he gave it a good go from the front at Chester (5f, good) last time when he used up lots of energy early from his wide draw, and he could be a serious force from the inside berth today. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Better known for his AW exploits (7-26) and he's now 0-16 on turf after finishing last at Lingfield following 99 days off; hard to warm to from stall 11. |
