22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has reportedly been plagued by injuries and hasn't been able to build on his sole win at Newcastle AW last October; still 4lb above his winning mark but does seem more effective on AW. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Seems to have an aversion to anything away from soft ground on turf, but is proving consistent on the AW (2312); one for the shortlist. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 4232 in novice/maiden events and was a good second on her handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in October; looks interesting on that form but she's struggled in both subsequent runs (1m, good/soft) and needs to get back on track. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 4232 in novice/maiden events and ran well when second of 12 on her handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in October; however, she failed to beat a rival home at Thirsk (1m) on her reappearance and needs to take a big step forward from that effort. |

Record of 4232 in novice/maiden events on turf and again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last October; shaped on that latest outing as though the drop back in trip may be a positive and this unexposed 4yo could have a big part to play on her reappearance. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f nursery in good style 12 months ago; off the mark for the year when well on top at the finish in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster in July; fair efforts in two of his three runs since (unsuited by ground when disappointing on penultimate start); drop back into a Class 5 will help but stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |

3rd 8 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Can pull hard and has worn a hood for last five outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f this summer, including for a clearcut win at Doncaster and a creditable fourth over C&D; flopped back at Doncaster last month but that was on tacky ground and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Hard to settle and has worn a hood for last four outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f for last three starts, coming from off the pace, including for a clearcut win here (good; unraced on softer) on penultimate occasion; 6lb higher this time but he's in calculations. |

Usually claimer ridden; all three wins came in just over a month last term but she's consistent (three seconds this season) and should be on the premises. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; couldn't pose a serious threat at Ayr last week but that was a Class 4 event and she finished second at Redcar (1m2f) in her two previous runs; still looks on workable mark and has possibilities on this drop back in grade. |

Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; her last win was 12 months ago but she's finished runner-up in three of her last four starts including at Redcar (1m2f, good) last week; only 1lb higher from out of the weights here and she should give it another good shot. |

Landed a pair of 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract in June; not disgraced both runs since, coming in a close sixth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; this C&D winner is not out of things in a refitted tongue-strap. |

9st 9lb |
All three of his wins have been on the AW, the most recent at Kempton (1m) in March off 4lb lower; never a threat when sixth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago and he was well beaten on soft ground last year. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Mostly in good form on the AW during the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Kempton (1m); however, he was below par back at Wolverhampton six weeks ago and has something to prove on a rare encounter with turf. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
The last two of his seven wins were at this track, albeit in 2024; placed twice over 1m2f here in a mixed campaign last autumn/winter; well beaten at 25-1 five weeks ago, a run which he may have needed after six months off and he's now back to his last winning mark, but this race looks too hot. |

Won off 3lb higher at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last March but he's not matched that form since and was beaten 6l over C&D and at Redcar (1m2f) last month; hasn't been with Ruth Carr for long but he needs to raise his game back on AW. |

Dual AW winner for the Newland/Insole stable; changed hands for 9,000gns in July and his sixth of eight on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 16 days ago was a little more encouraging than it seems; needs a step forward, though, and soft ground would be a query. |

Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
