2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |
|
10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

On a losing run and went backwards from C&D reappearance fifth to Spioradalta when well held at Hamilton a fortnight ago; on a career-low mark but need to see more. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |

On a losing run but he wasn't disgraced on his reappearance when fifth of ten in 1m2f Ripon handicap 29 days ago; this course winner can't be ruled out. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third in this last year (soft) and arrives at the top of his game, having been a clear second to Whatsgoingonmarvin at Sandown (1m2f, soft) last month and a very close third of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) recently; key player if his preferred slow ground prevails. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (16) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 1m nursery here on heavy ground in October 2023 and it was soft going when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown last September; back-to-form second in the same Sandown race (soft ground again) last month and, although back up 3lb, that puts him into each-way contention. |
9/1 |
|
8 (13) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sent off the 11-8 favourite when winning this race 12 months ago (soft); came into that race in better form but he's 2lb lower today and his latest run (behind a few of these) wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest; the more rain the better for him. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won once in four for Ralph Beckett, easily at short odds at Windsor (1m, novice; good) last September; underwhelming thereafter at Newcastle (1m) and Ripon (1m2f), and moved on for a knockdown 14,000gns; low mileage but best watched on stable debut (second run in a handicap). |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing favourite in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last time and needs to settle better now up in trip on handicap debut; however, he looked promising when easily winning Windsor novice (1m, good) earlier last month and retains considerable potential for his top yard. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not as good now but remains generally consistent and is back on the mark off which he won here (1m2f) in the winter; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort over C&D when last seen six weeks ago. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won over 1m2f here in December but he's not made an impact in last three runs and was beaten 5l when third at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time; now only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to raise his game back in trip. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who enjoyed a solid start to the season and is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Ayr in July; however, three lesser runs have followed and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a course novice (7f, soft; only success) last November; made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on first five starts this term; down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood then finished last despite attracting good support at Haydock (1m, good) 18 days ago; question to answer after that. |
5/1 |
|
7 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on his first five starts this season before finishing down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood (wore cheekpieces; left off today); back in calmer waters here and no surprise if he returns to form. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't taken long to drop 21lb in the weights; hardly solid but he was a multiple winner in Europe in his youth and he needs a market check dipping his toe into 0-55 waters. |
25/1 |
|
11th 1 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

8th 9 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |

On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr. |
9/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Lost his way in the autumn; has dropped to a favourable mark as a result (went close off 5lb higher last autumn) but a losing run of 21 doesn't inspire confidence; first start for 140 days. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; all three wins have been on turf and he returned to form after a break with a near-miss at Haydock (10.4f) last month; up 3lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and is a big player if he can back that up. |

2nd 9 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Three wins, two on soft ground, as a 3yo and he is now 9lb lower than for the latest; generally struggled last year though, before and after wind surgery, and he has too much to prove for comfort. |

10th 7 (9) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year; only fair form at best in four hurdle outings for this yard since, including when well-held sixth on Stratford handicap debut in that sphere four weeks ago; returns to the Flat with something to prove; first-time cheekpieces go on. |
40/1 |
|
6th 9 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott; changed hands for 115,000gns and shaped well when runner-up in 2m Catterick juvenile hurdle in January; faced a stiff task in Haydock's Victor Ludorum last time and remains with potential now handicapping. |
9/2 |
|
6th 7 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
A fairly useful and three-time Flat scorer (at up to 1m6f) for Sir Mark Prescott in 2025; beat only one on his hurdling debut at Kempton but vastly improved when a clear second of nine in 2m Catterick juvenile 15 days ago; open to further progress but this demands plenty more. |

5 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins at 1m and the latest was in May of last year; however, competitive in 1m/1m2f handicaps for current yard and unlucky not to be closer than 2l at Chester last time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |
