3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all wins on turf, mostly at Redcar; has gone off the boil since last success and this return to AW seems unlikely to help, with record in this sphere far from solid. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Showed his liking for Redcar with C&D wins in June and July; things haven't gone to plan since but he met trouble here in August and a heavy defeat last time came in the Legends race at Doncaster; not inconceivable he'll bounce back. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
In fine fettle (form figure 522122) last spring/summer, rounding off with a close second to Eeetee at Redcar (1m, good to soft, 6-4 favourite) in July; fair sixth to Military Leader on Southwell comeback run but disappointed over 1m2f at Haydock subsequently; best watched. |
16/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
In good form last May-July, winning at Carlisle (1m, soft) and runner-up on four occasions, including there at 1m1f on soft; never dangerous on reappearance 15 days ago, which also happened at the same juncture last term before a good run next time; player if he can stay 1m2f, which isn't nailed on. |

6th 9 (9) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

In good form last year, winning at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and finishing runner-up on four occasions, most recently at Redcar (1m, good to soft) 291 days ago; needed his reappearance over this C&D last May and that may well be the case again. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner who can miss the break and/or pull hard; does most racing now over further and didn't offer much on her comeback here last month without the usual hood (back on today). |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Scored off this mark over C&D last March but she didn't hit the same level in seven subsequent runs last year; has a bit to prove after eight months off and regular hood is missing on this step back up in grade. |
20/1 |
|
2 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All her three victories have come on the AW but she wasn't disgraced when third of eight in 1m Redcar handicap last month; effective at this much shorter trip so can't be discounted. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Proved resurgent with keeping-on fifth over C&D last time; may ideally need a return to further but is attractively weighted; won off 5lb higher here (1m) in April. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |
|
10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced filly who's put together two good efforts at Carlisle (7f and 1m; both on soft) on recent starts; shouldn't be far away off the same mark as last time; unraced on quicker than good to soft since debut. |
6/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner over 1m2f on good to firm in 2024 but no impact in 2025; didn't really take to hurdling and left Susan Corbett for £5,000 in December; hood and tongue-tie are removed on this debut for new yard. |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins at Redcar, the latest a 7f handicap in May off 3lb lower; he has finished last in his two runs since and connections now turn to a visor (wore cheekpieces to no avail once in April). |

8th 7 (1) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 2-2 on this track when winning over 7f (good to firm) in May; never involved at Catterick last week and now needs to prove himself at 1m, one previous defeat at the trip coming after a winter break. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Won Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last June and returned to form to make it 2-2 there in May (7f, good to firm); has to prove he can do it away from Redcar but he's entitled to respect on the back of that win. |
