24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in the corresponding race 12 months ago when an unconsidered 50-1 shot (after nine months off); running well on AW when last seen but this veteran may find a few stronger this time. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

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. |
10/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Right back to his best of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps; this is tougher under a 5lb penalty but he can't be dismissed in his hat-trick attempt. |

Had strong handicap form over C&D last summer and he is well handicapped on last July's second here (behind Aberama Gold); running well in small-field events this year; should give it another good go. |

9st 0lb |
5f and 6f winner, most recently in a 0-70 at Doncaster (good to firm) on his penultimate start; found out from this mark and in this grade in a big field at York latest; more needed. |

Landed the ninth win of his career when keeping on well in a Class 5 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 4lb higher mark in a stronger race could find him out. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Useful on AW on his day but 0-21 on turf; handicapped accordingly but his latest C&D 12th didn't suggest he was the answer to today's puzzle. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
All turf runs on good or quicker ground; has had a busy year with some mixed results but he's taken a healthy drop in the weights and nearly nicked a Carlisle race in July; returned to that level when imposing himself on a C&D race 12 days ago and, back up 4lb, should have a big say. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last season; plenty of good runs without winning this season, including when placed at Pontefract and Carlisle on last two starts (6f, good); on a good mark; well drawn; good chance. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Posted two good thirds at the start of last month (5f/5.6f, good to firm) before midfield finish in big-field Class 4 at York (6f, good to firm); the drop back in trip/grade can help and he could be in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
10th 21 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
It has been a while since he won on turf but he has turned in three solid efforts this summer, albeit over shorter trips and in a lower grade; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Just one win (6f, good) to his name from 14 attempts and that came at a lower level; others bring greater potential this time. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground but she's been knocking on the door in her last five runs including when runner-up on good to firm at Ayr last time; on unchanged mark and she should be in the thick of things again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance. |

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. |
