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 |

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. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All 24 of his races have been on AW (won three of them) but he's finished down the field in two starts this summer, including over C&D 34 days ago; bit to prove. |
10/1 |

7 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Below par at Chelmsford last month but that was his first outing since finishing third over C&D in January and he could strip fitter now. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner off 7lb higher in August 2024; mixed form since but sound run when third over C&D (good; second run after wind op, first with a tongue-tie) 17 days ago; has a chance on that run. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Regressive 5yo with modest 1-27 strike-rate; seemed to have benefited from wind op when respectable fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month but that race was slowly run and he needs to build on that performance; tongue-tie now added. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Just one win to his name from 26 starts; lacklustre effort here (6f) last month and underwent wind surgery four days later; handy mark if the operation has the desired effect. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |
33/1 |
|
14th 13 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bagged a fourth C&D success in February; off since a below-par seventh over C&D in March though so needs to hit the ground running. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race. |
7/2 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-17 on turf; second and third over C&D in the spring off slightly higher marks than this, before lesser efforts elsewhere on last two outings; well treated if back on song. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-16 on turf; twice placed at Pontefract this season but he needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Ripon (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Without a win since May 2023 and generally very disappointing for current stable since last spring; ran okay behind Purple Martini over C&D two starts ago but still makes only limited appeal; sports refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie. |
20/1 |

10th 4 (3) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-20; continues to ease in the weights, down to a career-low mark, but hasn't shown enough in either of his last two starts (both 7f at Musselburgh) to suggest his turn is imminent; these newly applied blinkers need to work their magic. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 44y |

0-11 and shown nothing in two turf runs; they've both come on soft ground and a drying surface may help but it was a low-key yard debut at Cork last month. |
16/1 |

10th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
10-race maiden; went close at Chelmsford in December but didn't back that up in two subsequent AW runs and bought for just 4,500gns since; off 239 days and others appeal more. |
20/1 |

14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Still to get his head in front but he comes here in decent nick, sixth of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago; shortlisted off an easing mark. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

Looked on the up when bagging a second C&D success in November but she came in a well-held fourth of six here 24 days ago; she's worth another chance. |
