2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his three wins were over 1m2f at Newcastle last October-December, easily on last occasion, but his creditable third there on latest outing suggests that the handicapper has caught up. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over C&D (Class 5) between October and December, rising 20lb in the weights; reportedly "ran flat" when only fifth of six (beaten over 12l) over C&D (Class 3) on New Year's Day; given a short break since, and this is marginally easier (a Class 4); chance. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was a below-par ninth of 13 in 1m Southwell handicap 53 days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
12/1 |
|
3 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f Catterick maiden as 3yo but not much in it as to whether she's better at that trip or 6f; has had some good results on Tapeta elsewhere but she tackles 1m for the first time with something to prove; cheekpieces discarded. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seen more often at 7f than 6f in handicaps and has yet to win one but she's had some close shaves over 6f, on Tapeta and turf, as at Thirsk 13 days ago; should go well if handling this new surface. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 1m winner on turf (good) and AW; shaped quite well on the AW on his first two starts this year but blew his chance at the start when down the field at Thirsk next time and could only finish midfield at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 25 days ago; drops in grade. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 1m winner (good turf/AW); shaped quite well on AW first two starts this year but blotted his copybook when losing many lengths at the start back on turf at Thirsk last week; more than capable off this mark but not one for maximum faith after that. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won four over C&D (BHA marks between 50-60) in 2024; began 2026 with a respectable third to Sea Legend, but it's been disappointing - with some mitigation - that he hasn't built on that since; stablemate of Billyjoegold. |
13/2 |

6th 2 (10) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won four times on Newcastle AW in 2024 but winless since; needs to be held up off a strong pace but not really firing at present. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since October 2024 and he failed to build on a reappearance Newcastle third when just seventh in 1m handicap there 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |

Four wins on AW this year (1m-1m3f); came up short off this mark at Southwell three weeks ago and she has something to prove on turf. |
16/1 |
|
7 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Started the year in ordinary form in classified events but she's made great progress and won four times on Tapeta since, over 1m2f, 1m3f (on this course) and 1m; that latter win was gained in fine style and she's a major contender despite the 6lb rise. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

No serious threat in three runs at 7f and 1m but she has more ability than the beaten distances suggest and there should be more to come from her now handicapping. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Some promise with midfield effort at Ffos Las (1m) on reappearance but gives the impression she'll be more interesting in handicaps shortly. |

66-1, beaten 11l when seventh of nine on debut at Southwell (7f, AW; reared start; hooded) in December; off since and now switches to turf with the hood removed on this step up to 1m; best watched. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Sits third, one place behind Aisling Oscar, in the All Weather Horse of the Year standings after his fine winter; yet to win at Wolverhampton but he has run well here; Billy Loughnane takes over tonight; each-way shout. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Emphatic scorer over 1m here in July; good second back here (1m again) next time but not in the same form twice since and remains 9lb above July's winning mark. |
11/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |
9/1 |

11 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Doubled her tally at this track when winning in good style over C&D in July before another good effort when second of 13 here ten days ago; now steps up in grade but she can't be discounted. |

Dual turf winner, latest success over C&D last October (good to soft); fair second over 1m at Ripon last time; ideally needs give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored off this mark at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last October; kept on well on his last two starts at Beverley over 8.5f suggesting that a step back up in trip may be beneficial. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive. |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
12 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |

14 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |

4 (7) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |
