15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |
8/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Four of his five wins have been at Beverley and they include this race 12 months ago; only fourth of six here ten days back but that was a Class 5. |
7/1 |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four of his five wins have been at this track (two over C&D); returned to form following a couple of lesser efforts when fourth at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but he was behind Roaring Ralph on that occasion. |

9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Prevailed narrowly in Beverley handicap (7.5f, good) last time, bouncing back to form and showing that his old legs can still operate successfully; 1-1 at classified level; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year; promising third at Ayr last month but she hasn't built on it in two subsequent outings; sneaking down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four of his seven wins have been here, three over 6f and the other at this trip; should come on for his run at Carlisle a week ago (6f, good) when returning from a 70-day break; can go well. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass). |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; no show in two runs since returning to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024); steps back up in trip and headgear removed; market watch advised. |
10/1 |
|
8 (11) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; sent off favourite for his return to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024) last month but over-raced early and was never in contention; something to prove after that and a new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Last win was over C&D in May 2024 off 2lb higher mark; mainly kept to AW since and can start slowly; would hold claims if back on song. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Short-headed at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January and runs off 6lb lower here, but below best more recently and has to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only 3-35 so hard to win with and since going close on the AW in January she's lost her way; others preferred. |
