29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Best efforts were his three wins on good to soft and soft, two of them over Carlisle's stiff 6f last summer but he managed to get up late on over 5f at Catterick at start of this month (3lb higher today); 7f on heavy did not work out eight days later and he never threatened, after niggled along from some way out, when beaten over 4l at Leicester (5f, soft) yesterday. |

5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month; creditable fourth over 6f here next time but below par back at Carlisle 19 days ago; former C&D winner but has yet to defy a mark this high. |

6th 4 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
12-time C&D winner including three this summer; no impact in her last three starts, but her last success was off only 1lb lower and she battled well when landing this race last year; not ruled out. |
16/1 |

9th 14 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Placed twice off higher marks this spring, latterly when third over nearly 7f here (good) in May; safely held twice since, though, (7f/1m) and reverts to sprinting with a bit to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago, so his losing run continues, but he was in good heart previously and kept on well when making the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good); this first crack at 1m is worth a go and he's not ruled out each-way. |

Best form was as a 2yo when twice successful; falling in the weights but this season hasn't got up and running. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features. |

Fair ex-Irish maiden; yet to show his best form for new yard this term, beating only one in 7f Thirsk handicap in July; hopes are pinned on a wind operation sparking a revival. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden; ran his best race for new connections when staying on over 6f at Doncaster 11 days ago; stays 7f but he may need a drop into Class 6 to break his duck. |

Three wins here, two over this trip, the other over 6f; well beaten when returning from a break last time; not out of it in first-time visor, but ideally needs soft/heavy ground. |

0-15 but he has shown winning potential, including when keeping on for fourth at Southwell on Sunday having been short of room over 1f out; has to prove his stamina for a stiff 7f though. |

4th 12 (1) |

9st 5lb |
Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |

1st 8 (2) |

Won three sprint handicaps at Southwell in the spring; form has dipped more recently but he has slipped in the weights and Jack Nicholls takes off a handy 5lb; market instructive. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently. |

0-12 but she finished second of six at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last month; got going too late when sixth there over 5f on Saturday and may prefer an extra furlong. |

6th 13 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
