22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins at Newcastle over the winter; his form has cooled more recently but today's return to Class 5 company will help and the cheekpieces return after being discarded last time. |
6/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his 5f win at Newcastle on New Year's Day; three runs since have not been quite so encouraging though and he may prove vulnerable back up at 6f. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Best form when coming from off the pace, as when a wide-margin winner at Redcar (5f, good) last month; has possibly found slower surfaces against her since (reared start latest) and considered in a race that's likely to be run to suit. |

Left Ollie Sangster for 7,000gns and as a 12-race maiden; however, she was runner-up four times and this trip on slow ground is suitable; could go well. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

0-11 but she's had plenty of close calls including at Doncaster (5f, good) on her penultimate run; looks interesting if she can recapture that form and she seems fairly versatile ground-wise. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins when trained by Philip McBride, the last of which was in September 2024; sold for 6,000gns to join new yard in February; unseated when rearing at the start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on and he's best watched. |
33/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 0-6 on AW and finished down the field at Chelmsford (6f) and Southwell (5f) in final two runs for Charlie McBride; changed hands for 6,000gns and he has something to prove for new yard after 166 days off; blinkers removed. |
16/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Proving expensive to follow of late and his effectiveness on AW is still to be proven; stepping back up to 6f could help though and his rider takes off a handy 5lb. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |

18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |

12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |

9th 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Hasn't won since 2023 and he beat one home when last seen out in October; one to watch after a break of 213 days. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |
