6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (13) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has a poor strike-rate but went close at Ripon last weekend and holds a fighting chance in this grade; gained sole handicap win off 5lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who scored over C&D (good) in June but that was a Class 6 and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he has some work to do back up in grade. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's landed the inside stall; did a lot of his winning in the past over 7f but may be happiest over this trip now, as when making all for Ethan Tindall off 3lb lower in June; one to consider back from a short break. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark for the season when making all at Pontefract last time (6f, good); his other five wins have all been over 7f (two sound runs on both C&D starts); well drawn; a possible. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to improve on his 2025 efforts; however, won this race (off 4lb higher) last year and has a good chance if back to that form. |
20/1 |
|
4th 11 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Chased home Gis A Sub in the corresponding race 12 months ago; not really got going in 2025 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |
|
12 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
6 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden but he had been threatening prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon three weeks ago; feasible mark if bouncing back. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

In fine form last winter and completed a C&D hat-trick in January; absent since though, so needs to hit the ground running after eight months off. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

Infrequent winner who's having a first ever run at beyond sprint trips at the age of seven; has been in good form on turf and has often run well in defeat round here but stamina is an obvious concern. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (5) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Took this in 2024 and he got back on track when a head second of nine in 6f Catterick handicap 18 days ago; well in the mix nudged up 1lb. |
9/1 |

2nd 9 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual soft-ground winner, including over C&D, who won't mind any rain; generally run well since switched from cheekpieces to a visor and holds claims in a race lacking depth. |

Sole success in 14 starts came in a 0-50 classified event in August; form since then has been patchy, but she is 1lb lower than when third of 12 at Southwell on her penultimate start, so a case can be made. |

Had been struggling this year until finishing third at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June last time; however, both wins have come on soft going and today's better ground is a likely negative. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Both wins came over 6f on soft ground in 2024, but he's mostly struggled at big odds since the latest of them; best watched for now. |
