4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Right back to form under William Pyle on his last two starts, finishing second to Double Parked over C&D before winning over 1m2f here 18 days ago; handles good to firm and soft ground and should be thereabouts. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he responded well to cheekpieces when going close off a reduced mark here (1m, good to firm) last month; kept on well in that race and he's respected off only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip. |

Slipped down the weights and he wasn't beaten far in a Class 4 at Windsor six weeks ago; tongue-tie worn there now left off and new cheekpieces are deployed; one to consider. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Always towards the rear on reappearance over C&D (good) three weeks ago but may have needed that run; won twice last summer (1m/1m2f, good; including here) and he's on a competitive mark on last autumn's form (including on soft ground); he can be in the mix if bouncing back. |
6/1 |

8th 1 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner in 2025 (including here) who also finished runner-up three times in the autumn; yard is going well so he must enter calculations on his return. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner who is holding his form well on all sorts of ground and has the same mark as when second at Ayr five weeks ago (1m2f); solid. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted. |
12/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two 1m wins to his CV in 2025, including on AW when last seen in November; this 2lb higher mark shouldn't prove beyond him but his record fresh, allied to the absence of cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts), suggest this may not be his day. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (13) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
4lb higher than when beating 18 rivals here (1m, good) in July and was having his first go over this sort of trip when third of seven at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time (winner has gone in again since); needs to prove his stamina in this much bigger field, though. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |

8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three times last summer and ran well when placed subsequently; well held when tenth of 12 on his return at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago and is still 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't won a race since September 2023 and not as good as he was; the cheekpieces need to trigger something. |
33/1 |
|
7 (7) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; on reduced mark and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |
