29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |

In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |
11/1 |

2nd 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |

9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field when making a quick return to the track at York recently but in peak form previously, showing better form with his wins at Beverley (5f, heavy) and on the AW than when slightly hampered against Thistle Nil over this C&D in August; respected. |
6/1 |

15th 20 (21) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Chasing a hat-trick after wins at Beverley and Newcastle in the last week; only 4lb higher than for Thursday's comfortable win and of obvious interest; high draw a possible negative. |
9/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Three wins in 2026, including C&D, with the latest an emphatic win in the mud at Beverley on Sunday; a 4lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both turf wins have been on good to firm, the most recent in a three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f) in June; didn't get the best of passages when fifth in a race won by Royal Duke over C&D two weeks ago but ground slower than good would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

7th 6 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |

6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished with a flourish for second at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting (5f, soft); her defeat at Hamilton three days later is excusable but Monday's Hamilton fourth, when outpaced before making some late headway, doesn't suggest she is the answer today. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

4th 6 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Finished behind three of today's rivals over C&D 18 days ago but she showed better form when flying home to take second (first in her group) in a 5f handicap at Ayr (soft) on Thursday; good chance in a race featuring plenty of pace. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |

11th 8 (10) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |
