11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last July and followed up over this C&D (good); tailed off here next time and down the field on last month's comeback at Beverley, but he may have needed that latest run; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back-to-back wins last summer came over 1m2f here (soft) and when narrowly making all at Catterick (1m4f, good); both wins came under Tom Kiely-Marshall but they also featured cheekpieces, which are missing for this comeback; mark is fine if he is ready. |

9st 8lb |
Recent wins under Tom Kiely-Marshall (1m2f, soft; 1m4f, good) were by narrow margins so has only gone up 2lb; made the most of a soft lead here last time and he'll need to see out this longer trip, but clearly a contender. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Eight-time winner here (Flat and jumps) who has been running respectably over further at this venue since November; drop back in trip asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick, after winning over C&D (soft) and 1m6f (good) here this month; back up a total of 7lb so this looks a tougher assignment but still has pretty strong claims. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in January/February, the third off 2lb lower over C&D; has continued in good form and is 2lb better off having been beaten 0.5l by Rubellite at Wolverhampton last time; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times on the AW earlier in the year, including in a classified event here over 1m4f; third over this C&D in March and posted another solid effort when filling that same position at Beverley (1m4f, good to soft) 23 days ago; claims back on the AW. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Still to register a victory but he comes here after a good second of eight in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle 44 days ago; he can make his presence felt again reverted to a longer trip. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up here (2m3f, soft) last month when more than a possible lack of stamina was amiss; however, prior to that he was placed in his first two handicap hurdles (soft; including C&D); leading player if back on song. |
7/2 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
4yo who is 0-9 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles but he's been showing promise in this code and kept on for third of 11 in handicap against older horses here (2m, soft) four weeks ago; stays well on the Flat and today's extra distance could be right up his street. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 41333 since switched to AW, the win in a Southwell classified over 1m3f in January; respectable third on turf at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August, however, and he won't lack for fitness back on grass. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 4133 since switched to AW, the highlight an account-opening success over C&D (classified event); may have more to offer back in this scenario and remains of interest at a modest level. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (12) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a hard ride but eventually wore down Hijo De La Luna in a 1m3f classified race at Southwell last month, coming home 2l to the good; beaten at short odds at Wolverhampton ten days later (1m4f) but still ran okay (easy winner has since followed up); now has cheekpieces fitted for the first time. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year and he may have been ready for a break when below par in February when last seen; 0-12 on turf and he needs to transfer his improvement back to grass, but he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Took a while to get off the mark but he has won three of his last seven starts (1m4f-1m6f); poor run over 2m at Southwell two weeks ago; capable of bouncing back now dropping in distance. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled on his first two starts this year but returned to form here over 1m6f 12 days ago, gaining his second success at this track; up 4lb but has good claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f) off 4lb lower last October; reported to have bled from the nose when beaten 34l over C&D last month, but soundly beaten at Catterick (1m4f, good) since; holds claims if he can return to form. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only made her debut last month and well beaten in three starts over 7f/1m on turf; needs to improve for the drop in grade and switch to the AW. |
8/1 |
