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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

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. |

9st 10lb |
Her last four wins have come at this track, with two of them (7f/1m) last month; drawn wide when down the field at Chester two weeks ago but she has fared better on that front today; big run on the cards. |
4/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Last four wins at Musselburgh, including two last month, latterly producing a career-best performance to see off ten rivals over 1m on good; runner-up on only Chester visit; a further 4lb rise demands even more but can't rule out in her current mood. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his front-running win at Chelmsford in July but he hasn't matched it in three runs since, including back at Chelmsford 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Returned to winning form when making all over C&D in July; twice held on turf in the meantime, but one for the shortlist if the return here galvanises him. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Novice winner; 0-8 in handicaps but produced one of his best efforts when 1l second at Hamilton (1m, good) on seasonal debut; possibilities off same mark. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Novice winner on soft and has gone close in a 7f handicap on good to soft; well beaten upped to 1m at Leicester on final run in October but that was too bad to be true; has dipped to a dangerous mark and, at this trip, may have improvement lurking. |
7/2 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Won a novice last season on soft ground and has gone close in a 7f handicap; however, last three runs were below that level and he has stamina to prove. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice for Richard Fahey in the summer of 2024 but lost his way; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; gambled on but well held on stable debut at Thirsk (7f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); may be worth another chance off sliding mark. |
6/1 |
|
12th 5 (11) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-25 for Richard Fahey, the wins coming in 2024 (one over C&D); left that yard out of form and for 10,000gns; historically well handicapped if Adam Kirby can get him going again; tries cheekpieces; market interesting. |
9/2 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner in 2024; shaped as though ready to exploit his reduced mark at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in July but two tame efforts have followed and he now has questions to answer again. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Golspie over C&D and then did well (fourth) from a poor track position at Southwell, before things slotted neatly into place for a cosy 12.5f win here (7-4 favourite; from 3lb lower) 11 days ago; given a decent gallop to aim at, should be there or thereabouts. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won novice at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last December but he's 0-10 in handicaps since and was last of 12 at Southwell on his final run in the summer; mark continues to fall but he has plenty to prove after a break; equipment returns including first-time tongue-tie. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden; creditable third in a 7f handicap last month on only previous run here; can be forgiven a below-par run back on turf on first try at 1m last time (soft ground); needs to find a bit more. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Not progressing in handicaps, despite making the frame at Newcastle last week (7f); unraced on ground this slow and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who hasn't really progressed since handicapping; didn't look suited by the drop back to 6f at Doncaster (good to firm) 40 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this second AW run. |
8/1 |
