24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

1 (7) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |

9 (3) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Nottingham (1m) in April but his form has dipped of late, just sixth in 1m Ayr handicap last time; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and was then second at Leicester; possibilities on those two efforts but latest Beverley run was underwhelming. |
6/1 |
|
9th 4 (13) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turned things around with a rallying win on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and he backed that up with a good second from wide draw at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); remains well handicapped on his best form and he's a key player on this drop back in trip. |

Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |

8st 11lb |
Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |

10th 3 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten last October when last seen but on heavy ground; prior to that he was a close fourth over C&D and this lightly raced 5yo reappears with his trainer (who runs two) among the winners; could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
6 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good) in July and bounced back from lesser run here (7f, good) with staying-on fourth at Redcar (7f, good to soft) in a first-time hood (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer now back up to 1m, provided the ground suits (unproven on soft/heavy). |

9st 9lb |
Sole win (from 18 attempts) came back in August 2024 and he was down the field on this month's reappearance at Ayr; however, he may have needed that run and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form (including here); each-way chance if he's back on song. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
His two wins last August/September (including here) came over 1m2f but he travelled well when fourth over 1m1f here (good to firm) on his recent return to action, when short of room close home, and he may have versatility in terms of trip; interesting contender. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Ayr (good; cheekpieces on) and Newcastle (tongue-tie and cheekpieces) last term; some fair AW runs after that but off since January and perhaps best watched this time (no cheekpieces). |
12/1 |

7 (2) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr in August and he responded well to a tongue-tie when scoring over C&D the following month; still looks feasibly treated but he flopped here (last of nine) and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort. |
