30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here. |

Front-running third over C&D last month; ridden more patiently when only fifth behind Persuasion here 25 days ago; up in class and may prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

3rd 1 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who is a C&D winner and added another AW success at Southwell (7f) last July; ended 2025 with a good third back at Southwell (7f again) in October; formerly trained by Ann Duffield; claims if ready to roll after five months off. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won three times on the AW, the latest over C&D in July; scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last month, but needs to put a lacklustre effort at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month behind him, while an easy lead seems unlikely. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |
14/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism over C&D in December; not in anything like the same form, beating a total of just one rival, in three outings since. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism at Newcastle (7f) but failed to match the form in two starts on consecutive days later in December; yet to win over this trip; others preferred. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has form at different tracks but may be ideally suited by Catterick and, back away from that venue, his consistent spell ended last time; no win since 2024. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has added to his strong record over 7f at Catterick with a pair of runner-up efforts on good last month; successful on his fast-ground C&D debut, which was his only previous visit to Redcar; should go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His C&D record of 112153422 shows his affinity for the track and he made a pleasing return to action when second to the reopposing Evocative Spark here two weeks ago (pair clear); should make his presence felt again off an unchanged mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Now 5lb lower than when dominating from the front at Musselburgh (7f, good) just over a year ago but slow starts have become an issue in the meantime, and she was always behind when 33-1 for last month's reappearance run; looks risky back at 6f. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Twice a winner in 7f turf handicaps; 3lb lower than for last May's Musselburgh win but that is a result of ending 2025 with a whimper; she has an absence to defy and others look safer. |
20/1 |
|
11 (1) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

A 7f winner at Musselburgh in May but she arrives below par, just eighth of ten in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 24 days ago; others are preferred. |

Three C&D wins, the latest in September off a 2lb lower mark; that race panned out perfectly though and latest Wolverhampton effort suggests he is vulnerable. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |
