2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 in top form and he has returned to action with two solid placed efforts; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good shot. |

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. |

9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex Jim Goldie, now 2lb below the mark he won from at Newcastle (5f; made all) in December; soundly beaten in two starts for this trainer, left trailing (last of eight) behind Woohoo at Musselburgh (5f; 40-1) three weeks ago; revival necessary. |
33/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, during his spell with Jim Goldie but always behind on C&D stable debut 17 days ago; can only watch after that. |
20/1 |

15th 11 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Scored three times, including over C&D, during his spell with Jim Goldie; remains in same ownership; returns from 98-day break on debut for new stable; yet to win when fresh. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Done the bulk of his winning on AW (6-26), but one of his two turf wins came over C&D (from 8lb lower) in August 2024; in fine fettle, with form figures of 322, since returning to turf, beaten just over 2l by Mumayaz at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; should give his best. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple wins on AW and turf; has done well for this yard and his 6f turf form in 2025 certainly bears scrutiny; respectable efforts back on grass of late and while not at full strength in either, he'll be suited by this stiffer test at 6f providing there's a good pace; form chance. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No win on turf since September 2024 but he ran well for third at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago, form that has been boosted by the winner and second running well in big fields since; one to be interested in off the same mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
6/1 |
|
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. |
15/2 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
It's now 13 starts since his last success but he was back on track when finishing second in 6f Pontefract handicap 11 days ago; well in the mix eased 1lb. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dips into a 0-70 for the first time but hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to be cashing in on his reduced mark. |

Awarded the Pontefract handicap last month in which Valentine Catcher passed the post first; not so good in either run since, the latest at Doncaster on Saturday, and others appeal more. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |
40/1 |
|
11th 11 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has become unreliable but is well treated on his standout performance of 2025, namely a comfortable win off 1lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; scored over 7f in 2023. |
25/1 |
|
10th 4 (9) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Easy win at Doncaster in June (6f, good to firm) but generally struggled since; even if he's back in top form he could do with the ground drying out. |
