Mostly front-runs and ran his best race for a while last time at Carlisle (1m3f, soft); 1m6f winner here but has stamina to prove over quite this far. |

9st 4lb |
Three wins last year, the latest in quite valuable final of this Grassroots Stayers' Series over C&D (good to firm) in September; has a bit to prove after two down-the-field runs this spring (1m2f/1m4f) but the return to Nottingham is sure to suit; 2-2 over C&D. |

11st 2lb |
Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

Does most racing over shorter but has won over C&D, one of three victories here; remains on a handy mark and, like many from this yard, he has been running fairly well without winning; this task is a bit easier. |

Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

19th May 2023 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Signed off his 4yo campaign with a close call at Ayr (1m5f, good) last September; on same mark here but he's been laboured in both runs this season and latest was at this track (1m5f, good to soft) on Sunday; bit to prove back up in grade and his last win was two years ago. |

0-9 last year and inconsistent but he was a short-head second of 15 at Ayr (1m5f, good) last September when last seen; this course winner can be bang there again if reappearing in similar form. |

Solid effort when second of eight at Catterick ten days ago (2m, good; first run in this combination of accessories); should remain competitive. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May. |

Five wins on good or slower; not fired in three runs back from a long absence but last time at Beverley was a bit more encouraging; interesting to see if there's any market confidence behind him. |
