7th 3 (11) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time course winner who made the perfect start for his new yard when scoring by almost 4l over C&D last month; held in third behind Satyress at Newcastle (1m4f) last time but he didn't get the best of runs and that was another good effort; respected off unchanged mark. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a Catterick handicap in May on his second start for Joey Ramsden and got off to the perfect start for this stable in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) eight days ago, winning decisively; returns to handicap company with strong claims under a 4lb penalty. |

1st 5 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his seven wins have come over 1m4f/1m6f here and showed he retained ability when winning a handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) in May; now makes his debut for his eighth different trainer (same owners) and his course record makes him of interest. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
44-race maiden; rallied for pressure over C&D (good; 14-1, with various hurdles omitted) a fortnight ago but was only a modest third; it isn't difficult to cast the eye elsewhere. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 10 |
14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Placed at Cartmel (2m1f, good; visored) in July but well beaten there last month and career strike-rate now stands at 0-44; 2lb out of the weights today; sports refitted cheekpieces. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in February 2024 (2m, soft); has shown bits of fair form over hurdles, notably when 11.5l fourth in a Sedgefield novice handicap in March (2m4f, good); others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
A point bumper winner in 2024; only poor form shown over hurdles but he posted his best run of the season (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 11 in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 23 days ago; needs to build on it in retained headgear. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Point-to-point bumper winner for whom the forecast good ground could be a positive; however, he's struggled in his first three handicaps and a major turnaround is necessary; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Fifth and about to post one of his better efforts when falling at the last behind Bunker Bay latest (C&D), not his first spill over hurdles; work on from further out of the weights today even with a clear round. |
33/1 |
|

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of five here (2m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now 0-27 under all codes; effectively on same mark from out of the weights today; blinkers (worn once on the Flat in 2024) are given another try. |
33/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Only won a maiden over hurdles but was placed in two handicaps and gets in off a lower mark for this debut over fences (second in his only point); worth considering. |
11/4 |
|
7th 1 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
1-7 over hurdles; returned from wind surgery with creditable third at Doncaster (2m, good; handles good to soft) five weeks ago; 1lb lower here and should be involved again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; below that form on next outing and absent since falling in March but could quite plausibly have improvement to come in handicaps this season. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Homebred from the family of Desert Orchid; 0-7 over hurdles but won comfortably on chase debut over C&D last week (good) and a 6lb rise could have been worse for one open to lots of improvement. |
2/1 |
|
8th 10 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been well held in two handicaps for his current yard and latest was at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; tongue-tie is now added and he needs to significantly raise his game after a break. |
25/1 |
|

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
May have needed the run after a break when beaten 26l on handicap/stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) and was short in the betting at 9-2; remains relatively unexposed. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts in handicaps over a wide range of trips this year. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sole win came in a maiden here but over 2m4f; three modest runs in handicaps since returning from a break and has stamina to prove. |
25/1 |
|
10th 17 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Gained sole success in Sedgefield maiden; holds weak claims on his form since switched to handicap hurdles; yard appears to have a better chance with Mandarb. |
50/1 |
