28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 11 (8) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all in big-field York handicap (good to firm) in 2024; C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and AW (also 7f) winner last summer; lesser efforts followed until a firm step back in the right direction last time and returns to turf from a handy mark; respected. |

C&D winner off this mark last summer but has struggled for form on AW this winter, including back from a second wind operation last time; would need to see market support to consider. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Won two of his four races on the AW this year (at 7f) and has comparable form on turf; wasn't beaten far last month at Newcastle despite losing a shoe. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made it two wins from three starts this year when picking up well to lead towards the finish over C&D 16 days ago; the third (Call Glory), fourth and fifth in that race have all run well since so the form has bit of substance; respected up 2lb. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (17) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Newcastle (AW) in September and it was a close third at Thirsk (also 7f, good) on his return to turf a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing but can travel smoothly and should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (15) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Might be better on the AW but shaped encouragingly after a break at Newcastle last month (7f) and he's not had many chances on grass; draw no help. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Sole success in 17 runs over hurdles came at Perth last summer (2m, good); he's consistent but not progressive and was a well-held fifth in this last year off the very same mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden who has dropped 11lb in the weights since introduced to handicapping; attracted market support when a creditable fourth to Irish Dancer at Catterick (5f, good) last week; return to 6f should suit; dangerous to dismiss. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Lightly raced 4yo who has dropped down the weights but she's finished unplaced this spring in her first four handicaps and needs something extra. |

Low-mileage filly who was campaigned at 7f/1m until a running-on sixth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; interesting for her in-form stable now back up to 6f. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |
4/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Returned from break with three down-the-field runs this year but his fourth of ten over C&D three weeks ago was a big step back in the right direction and he's another 2lb lower today; considered each-way. |

4th 11 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

3rd 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |
7/1 |

2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |
