20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All five AW wins have been over C&D; looked unlucky when stuck behind a wall of horses only to run on when in the clear when fourth over C&D eight days ago; must hold claims in bid for compensation. |

Had a highly successful 2025, six wins including five over this C&D; had a slow start to the year but things have looked up of late and she has to be of interest back on this track off her latest winning mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |

5th 6 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; arrived on the back of a recent win on that occasion whereas today he has been off since a modest turf run 113 days ago; hooded for the first time today. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 6f here last autumn (soft) and also shaped well when fourth over C&D in May (good); not at his best over 5f on AW last time; could go well back up in trip. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only run over 5f once, when well held over C&D two years ago, and has done most recent racing over 7f; resumed in decent form and this is easier if anything but the drop back in trip from the outside stall would have to be a worry; headgear returns. |

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 |
9st 2lb |
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 |

9 (3) |
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. |
