2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-German; 1-10 for this yard, the win at Haydock (1m6f) in August; well held when 25-1 in a 1m4f Racing League race on his only subsequent start, which is forgivable but one or two of these look better handicapped. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
French winner who kept on well to win at Haydock (1m6f) last time and is also effective on Tapeta; however, the drop back in trip seems a negative. |
12/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
French winner who went close at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October and is now 1lb lower; however, unable to reproduce that form since and was a 9l fifth of seven when back at Newcastle (2m) last Friday. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

Behind New York Minute at Southwell before edging home in a Class 5 over C&D; will do well to follow up in this higher grade. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

1st 6 (7) |

Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing. |
12/1 |
|

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; badly hampered and unseated over hurdles next time; still has mileage in his mark judged on old Flat form; respected. |
5/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Won easily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; soundly beaten behind Judicial Deference at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) in January but he's probably better than that and he won on the AW last week; not ruled out. |

1st 4 (3) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Better known as a hurdler but was having only his second start on the AW when second of six at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) in September; now 1lb lower and could go well. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m. |
11/4 |

3rd 11 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Placed over 1m6f on last three AW starts; returns to turf on a workable mark and should be fine back at 1m4f; big player if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins were in 2023 but she had some close calls in the autumn and ran another good race when third over C&D three weeks ago; 1lb lower here and she should be in the mix again. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play. |
12/1 |
|
4 (8) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Solid over C&D of late, running out a convincing winner to make his breakthrough at the start of August before a narrow second a fortnight ago; same mark here and he's a leading contender. |
100/30 |
|
2 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Off the mark over this C&D last month but he was held in fourth off this mark at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) 29 days ago; remains unexposed over this trip and he holds claims returned to AW. |
5/2 |
