4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
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. |
11/2 |
|
1 (4) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
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. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
AW race in December when visored first time is his only win for this yard from 21 attempts; last three starts (switched to cheekpieces; also tongue tied latest) reiterated, however, that he's still likely to be competitive if he takes to this track. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has had some mixed results in 2026 but he had his path blocked when only just failing against Hale End at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; travelled within himself but took an age to pick up when a never-nearer fourth at Ayr since and now has a tongue-tie added; capable of going well. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-19 in Britain but he proved resurgent and looked unlucky in new headgear at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago, going very close despite meeting traffic issues; respected off same mark in retained cheekpieces. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just three wins from his 47 starts, the latest back in June 2024; however, he was short-headed off this career-low mark at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last Wednesday and could be in the mix once more; versatile ground-wise. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a prolific winner but he is operating off a reduced mark and there were more encouraging signs dropped to a Class 5 at Thirsk 11 days ago; another 3lb lower today and minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not badly treated on his best form at about 1m but his losing run goes back nearly two years and he's dropped right out in both runs this year. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer (1m, good to firm); two creditable runs in defeat this season and he now drops in class. |
3/1 |
|
7th 14 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form but he built up a head of steam to take a late fourth on his recent Pontefract return (1m, good); now 4lb lower than his Haydock win (1m, good to firm) last August so weighted to be competitive. |
9/1 |
|
12 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Now 4lb lower than for his win at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last summer and he wasn't beaten far on his reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 19 times since winning in December 2024 on her second start; positive signs at the beginning of this campaign but she hasn't backed up those performances on her last two starts; may again be vulnerable. |
11/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her losing run stands at 18 and she disappointed as favourite at Beverley two weeks ago; on the plus side, she went desperately close at Ayr (behind Starliner) three weeks ago and won't be far away if back at that level. |
9/2 |
|
9th 2 (2) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-9 on turf but she transferred her recent AW consistency back to turf last week, going close from the front at Ayr (1m, good to firm); clear possibilities off the same mark. |

In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in the autumn; faded as if needing his reappearance back here 17 days ago and ought to be sharper now. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in October when last seen; strong contender if fully tuned up for this reappearance. |

On dangerous mark but he's finished down the field in three runs this term and is now 0-12 in Flat turf events; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |

9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |
12/1 |

Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Has gained all wins on turf, mostly at Redcar; has gone off the boil since last success and this return to AW seems unlikely to help, with record in this sphere far from solid. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Showed his liking for Redcar with C&D wins in June and July; things haven't gone to plan since but he met trouble here in August and a heavy defeat last time came in the Legends race at Doncaster; not inconceivable he'll bounce back. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who exploited a reduced mark when winning from the front at Ripon (1m2f, good) last month; held under 4lb penalty soon afterwards, though, and effectively another 1lb higher here; younger rivals appeal more. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |
|
1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |
