2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner down the years and gained his most recent success (narrowly, three starts ago) off current mark; subsequent dip in form is the negative. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Getting on but retains a lot of his old ability, is still consistent enough and has won over C&D before; rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago, having beating a subsequent winner in a small field off 1lb lower previously; quite capable of bouncing back. |
12/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Retains a large portion of his ability despite his advanced years and took advantage of a reduced mark at Cattterick (6f, good) ten days ago; only nudged up 1lb for that narrow success. |

|
3rd 4 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Racing League handicap off this mark last summer; three solid efforts this year, including a third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month and a close fourth in big field at Ripon two weeks ago; remains lightly raced on AW and he's a key player back in this sphere. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground later in the year and he wants a good test over this trip on good ground; turned in a solid comeback effort over C&D in March but there's little room for error off this mark and he has his quirks. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the huge promise of his early form for William Haggas but he retains a good chunk of ability and enjoyed a resurgence last autumn, notably when a comfortable winner over C&D (soft) in October; disappointed when last seen but he should be in for another good year; back from a break is perhaps not the time to catch him but market should give clues. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual sprint winner for previous yard; best effort for new stable when fifth over C&D on penultimate start; chance of faring better partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far into fifth at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago (7f), his second run for new connections; dropping to a stiff 6f should help and he still has time on his side. |
12/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Wolverhampton on his second start and followed up in a 6f handicap at Kempton in January; absent since finishing down the field in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March; should be capable of better but raced exclusively on AW and the suitability of heavy going has to be taken on trust. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf wins as a 2yo came on soft/heavy ground and the midweek rain will have helped, although he'd have preferred more; highly consistent but a 2lb rise for his recent AW win puts him on a career-high mark into a more competitive handicap, down from 6f. |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have been on turf but he's unexposed on AW and has finished close up over C&D and at Newcastle (5f) in his two runs this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back up in trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
AW novice winner as 3yo; 0-6 in handicaps and although this season's two runs give some encouragement, the best of those (a narrow defeat over Carlisle's stiff 7f last time) was on soft ground. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has recorded best RPRs over 6f; however, Haydock reappearance effort suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won a 6f novice at Newcastle on his second start last summer; handicaps have proved more troublesome but he is edging down the weights and now drops into 0-70 company for the first time. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Back to 6f when winning successive Hamilton handicaps in September (good to soft/soft) and it was a belated return to 5f when below par last time; however, this is a tougher grade than she's accustomed to. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Benefited from the return to 6f of late, winning both starts here (good to soft and soft); flying high but has a penalty to carry in a better race back over 5f for the first time since her debut; still not ruled out. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter. |

4th 6 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and his losing run continues; however, he kept on well for second at Pontefract (6f, good) two starts ago and is not written off. |

6th 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

4-25; won from 3lb higher at York (6f, good) last May, and also went close (runner-up) back there in July; pestered for the lead, weakening late, when fourth on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; 15-8 favourite; form franked); now 2lb lower and with Jack Nicholls back aboard; chance. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
6f AW winner for William Haggas last summer; ran well for second (short head behind Station X and now 5lb better off) on her stable debut here last November; slow start to this campaign but there was much more to take from her latest Ayr fifth (behind Lord Bertie and Station X); unexposed on testing ground and she's one to consider. |

Runner-up in two 6f nurseries on heavy/soft ground last autumn; down the field on both outings this year and has something to prove, but those were on good going and maybe today's testing conditions will trigger a revival. |

Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level. |

Won a 6f Chepstow maiden on good to soft last season; fair form this term, winning off 5lb lower at Doncaster in July (6f, good) and creditable fourth over 5.5f at Chester last time (soft); return to 6f will suit; chance. |
