24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Model of consistency this year, finishing second four times in succession before breaking her duck at Chester on Friday (6f, good); solid claims dropped into selling company. |
3/1 |

1st 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
In the frame all seven starts (5f-6f), including five second-place finishes; gave it a good shot from the front at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago and has the ideal draw from which to attack here; big player. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Ripon, the most recent in April on good to soft off 4lb lower than today; led a smaller group of five when 11th at Ascot (6f, good) 28 days ago but looks capable of bouncing back. |
9/1 |
|
11th 17 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
28-1 winner of Ripon maiden (6f, good) in August and built on close reappearance second when beating 12 others in handicap over that C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; evidently likes that track but has form elsewhere and she's not ruled out despite 5lb rise. |
12/1 |
|
1st 13 (13) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Always prominent when winning a C&D maiden last August; ran her best race in handicaps when second of ten in a 5f event at Catterick (good) last week, keeping on; she will have the stands' rail to help this time and should go well despite stepping up in class. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut when fourth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month and had some excuses when below that form over 5f at Beverley 24 days ago (suffered interference in first half of race); on a good mark now and enters calculations. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won a C&D claimer on his second start as a 2yo last May (good); three good runs in nurseries after that; finished in front of a couple of today's rivals when a creditable fourth at Ripon on reappearance (6f, good to soft); interesting back at 5f. |
10/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 5f claimer at Beverley on his second start (last May) and he hit the frame in his first three nursery runs; failed to fire on the slowest ground he had tackled when last seen; needs to have improved over the winter if he is to make a winning return. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip. |
12/1 |
|
4 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won first two nursery starts (5f/6f, good/AW) and didn't run badly when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last time; needs something extra today but that can't be ruled out; unproven on slow ground. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed on four of her five starts, all over 6f, for Ed Bethell last season; only disappointing run was over 7f when she pulled too hard; sold for 6,000gns in September and not disgraced for new connections this time round (both at 6f); stamina to prove back up to 7f. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in her first four starts, but hasn't gone on from there; didn't enjoy a clear run and was returning from 185 days when behind a couple of these at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month, but more needed. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in all three qualifying runs (good to firm/Tapeta) and was placed again when solid third of 14 in Redcar nursery (6f, good to soft) in September; flopped in her final 2yo run but that was over 7f (raced freely) and she looks interesting back at this trip on her return. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (13) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in his first two starts, both over 6f on turf; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up well short; gelded since last seen; down in class on AW debut; worth a market check. |
10/1 |
|
6 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on first two starts (6f, good to firm/good) then handed tough tasks in two sales races; however, he also finished down the field on this month's nursery debut at Thirsk (5f, good) and needs to turn things around in first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers). |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who has failed to progress but he was denied a clear run when seventh of 14 in a nursery at Redcar last month (6f, good to soft; beaten about 4l) and could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
7 (14) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Finished third on his first three starts (5f/6f, soft-good to firm); down the field on nursery debut at Doncaster (6f, good) and beaten 5l by Mossvale Diva when fourth in C&D seller (good) last Tuesday; something to prove but perhaps the return to slow ground will help and he's not written off. |
12/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Stiff task in a Doncaster nursery on Friday and finished down the field; he had earlier finished third in three sprint maidens and he's one to take seriously dropped in class; stable also run U Turn. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
0-9 but with a tongue tie applied he returned to his best when second of five in a Beverley seller 13 days ago (5f, good to firm); that form isn't the easiest to assess and a 3lb rise won't help. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden who has failed to back up last June's Carlisle effort (6f) and faces a difficult task at the weights in this field; first-time tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |

Won at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month on third start; has since finished last in her two nurseries (6f/5f; AW/good to soft); it's too soon to write her off but she arrives with something to prove. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

Remains a maiden after nine starts but he's been runner-up in two handicaps (including on turf) and was a close third at Newcastle (1m, AW) most recently; every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden who has finished runner-up in two of his handicaps but his form has been up and down so far and he didn't fire when stepped up to 1m here (3-1) last month; others are more convincing. |

Best form when second in a Chester maiden in July; has been below that form since, including in a couple of nurseries; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded and he needs to show more. |

11 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second at Chester (6f, good) on second start but a lesser run followed at Newcastle (6f, AW) and soundly beaten on recent nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft); has to raise game in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

6 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

He's finished merely eighth at big prices in his three starts (6f/5f, good to firm/AW) but Newcastle last time was a step in the right direction; has a useful pedigree and is open to further improvement now handicapping off a modest mark; interesting, especially if attracting market support. |

9st 2lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Justified strong market support on his 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; finished behind the reopposing Liverpool Star at Southwell next time but resumed his progression when landing another 5f Newcastle handicap last month; edged out a next-time-out winner on that occasion so should still be feasibly treated after a 2lb nudge. |
