28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Unproven on ground softer than good; far from solid on his efforts this term; however, won this race (narrowly) off 1lb higher 12 months ago and has clear possibilities if back in similar form. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Won at Redcar and Thirsk for today's rider last season (both over 1m on good ground), but hasn't shown the same level of form in two runs this term; conditions suit and back on last winning mark. |

Veteran who has been ridden by Rebecca Hitchen since joining current yard, posting form figures of 31216; hindered by wide trip in AW contest on reappearance most recently; could go well with that outing under his belt. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |

1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |

12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |
40/1 |

15th 13 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been below that level on his last three outings. |
12/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in four of his last six starts, including a comfortable success from a wide draw three weeks ago; up another 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and this return to Polytrack should be fine; big player in hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (13) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 over C&D when winning off a 3lb lower mark five weeks ago (ridden from off the pace by Jack Callan that night and may be again from stall 13); stable flying this month, with seven winners from its last 15 runners at the start of the day, and he holds good claims. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

Opened his account in Newcastle handicap (1m2f; third run for new yard) most recently and looked value for more than the half-length winning margin; may have more to offer over middle distances; respected back up 5lb. |

1st 2 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Runner-up twice at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month, losing out only by a neck when clear of third on latter occasion; back in action before 3lb rise takes effect and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago; good chance. |

Record of 2-37 and both wins came over 1m1f (good) last August; has mixed record this season but he had a close call at Pontefract (1m2f) last month and was runner-up behind a big improver over C&D last Monday; on the same mark here and he's respected. |
