5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |
14/1 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this season, the latest off a 10lb higher mark at Beverley (7.4f) in July; although he has been unplaced in all five AW runs, he has shown some aptitude for this surface; shouldn't be far away. |
6/1 |

17th 5 (15) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins have been on good ground or quicker, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f) in July, but he was third of 11 there on heavy ground last time (8.5f; cheekpieces back on); step up to 1m2f isn't sure to suit. |

3rd 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Three victories this year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run with credit on soft ground, but all wins have come on good or faster. |

Three C&D wins, the latest in September off a 2lb lower mark; that race panned out perfectly though and latest Wolverhampton effort suggests he is vulnerable. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole turf win came off 2lb lower in this race last year, when with Ann Duffield, and he is 1lb below his last winning mark; interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start for Ivan Furtado (same owners). |
12/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins last year, three on AW (6f/7f); some fair form since but has a bit to find with Instant Bond on recent form at Newcastle (6f); 4lb lower than last winning mark; first run here. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and he didn't get much luck when third here (6f) last Thursday; could be a big factor if things go more to plan this time and his last three wins have been on Tapeta. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade. |

Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

3rd 9 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Four C&D wins (good and good to firm; has won on good to soft), seeing off stablemate Keep Me Stable last month; lesser effort here 18 days ago, though, and will need more today. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (8) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Successful four times over C&D, including in last two starts, beating stablemate Keep Me Stable by 1l latest; this 8yo retains plenty of vitality and is still well handicapped on historical data; beaten in this race for last three years (form figures 002) but warrants respect in current form. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |
20/1 |

2nd 1 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
11 (12) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |
