12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has won three times, including here over 1m3f in February off a mark 5lb lower than today's, and he was beaten only a nose by Must Believe here in May; didn't quite get home here over 2m last month and will be suited by this drop back in trip; has claims. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained a first success at Southwell (1m3f) in November and has added two more AW victories since, including over 1m3f here; not disgraced with fifth of 15 at Newbury (1m4f) last time and well in the mix if his stamina holds out on his first run beyond 1m4f. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Front-runner; won at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May; second or third in small fields in all four runs since, with 2m1f failing to work out on latest but he was a good second over C&D (good to firm) the time before; player. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |
5/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |

9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |

9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his Epsom win (8.5f, good) last summer but he's 0-18 since and was tailed off here (1m3f) last time; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Not firing on all cylinders on the Flat since his hurdling second in July but now 8lb lower than when placed over C&D in February; worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (8) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Two wins at 1m2f and about 1m (good to firm and good) in 2025 but lesser pickings this year, over 1m2f on last three starts; has something to prove in first 1m run since dropping out at Brighton last August. |

9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

9st 3lb |
Won on the Kempton AW in May and placed there over 1m4f and 2m on his last two outings, with two of those under Jack Dace; chief concern is that his turf form (five races, only one this season) is at a lower level. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May and bounced back from a lesser run on turf when third here over 1m4f last time, form that has since been franked by the winner; stamina is a concern on his first try at 2m. |
9/1 |

3rd 10 (12) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |

9st 13lb |
Eight-time winner split between turf and AW; started this season with good efforts at Pontefract and Leicester but his form slumped at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in June; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back after a break; cheekpieces reapplied. |
14/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
May have done too much early and might have failed for stamina when sixth of eight at Chelmsford (13.3f. Polytrack) 13 days ago (Take The Boat second); better judged on his previous form around here including wins over 1m3f/1m4f; respected for stable that also runs Maywedance. |

6th 1 (7) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |

9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith. |
