1st 4 (1) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made light of a six-month absence when landing 12-runner handicap over C&D 19 days ago; up 3lb but he's not taken lightly. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent first year with Ruth Carr included solid second over C&D (good to firm) and a win over 1m5f at Hamilton (good) in July; form tailed off markedly on final two starts of 2025 but no surprise if he resumes in better form following a break. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Consistent first year with Ruth Carr, winning over 1m5f at Hamilton in July and reaching the frame on six other occasions; possible soft didn't suit when below par latest; had course form for previous yard; considered. |

2nd 10 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Course winner in 2022 who last won at Pontefract (also 1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; 50-1 when beaten 10l on his comeback in a Wolverhampton classified (1m4f, AW) in January; others look safer. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Catterick handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in July but he finished down the field in his final three runs during the summer; has won when fresh in the past but his last success was 19 months ago and this veteran is 1-14 on AW. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on his wins at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) last year; second of seven from 5lb out of the weights at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) last month, but modest otherwise this year; not quite sure what to expect. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on his three starts here, all over this trip, including when he scored off 2lb higher in February and when giving Rubellite plenty to think about in first-time cheekpieces in June; like most of the field he was stuffed at Chester last time but his prospects are much brighter returned to this venue. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (13) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner at around 1m4f and his best efforts on turf have been at Beverley; failed to beat a rival home at Haydock (1m6f, good) last month and now steps up to 2m with a tongue-tie added; best to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Triple hurdle winner who is 1-36 on the Flat but he returned after a break with an eye-catching fourth at Beverley (1m2f, good) last week; should benefit from that run and he could get involved back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
4th 9 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on his last three Flat starts over 1m4f here in early summer; not discredited over hurdles at Hexham since so this C&D winner is in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dug in to score on his last spin over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft; from 3lb lower) in December; runner-up three times in succession on the Flat at Beverley recently, beaten 2l there (1m4f; 13-8 favourite) just ten days ago. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of minor honours this term, mostly at 1m4f; one 1m6f attempt casts doubt on him over this new trip and it's hard to ignore that this is his 31st attempt to get off the mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely running well this season but only eighth of 12 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap last month; more is needed if he's to gain a first win at the 30th attempt. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
28-race maiden but he has been running with credit, finishing in the frame on his last eight starts; acts on AW and he makes more appeal than some. |

9st 3lb |
Won twice on fast ground at Nottingham (1m6f/1m2f) in the summer but the latter success came in a basement-grade classified race and this AW return comes after an 11-week break; others look stronger. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemed to win with a bit more in hand than the margin would suggest when beating Charencey by a neck in a 0-50 apprentice classified event at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) one week ago; stamina not in doubt over this longer trip having won over 1m6f at the same track last month; high on the list. |
9/4 |

1st 3 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scrambled home in a 1m6f handicap here (good to firm) last month; no threat in an Epsom handicap since; drops in trip and wouldn't want this to become tactical. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two of her four wins were at Catterick, including over C&D (good to firm) 12 weeks ago on latest outing; that came under 5lb claimer by 13l in a five-runner race, since which she's been raised 5lb; an infrequent winner but she has claims. |

1st 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Course winner who scored at Hamilton last June; however, she's failed to get competitive on her five starts since last September (two of them this year) and needs to find something extra. |
11/1 |

7th 9 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Soundly beaten on final three starts last season and same story on reappearance in April; however, she might have needed that latest outing and she won this last year; shouldn't be discounted. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Both wins came in turf handicaps around this time last year (1m2f/1m4f); has run with credit lately including when fourth of 13 in a 0-60 handicap over C&D five weeks ago; one of the likelier winners. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Capable of the odd howler but he opened his account in Southwell handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and similar form when third in an amateur riders' race back there three weeks later; wasn't at his best in another amateur riders' race last time but he's recovered from blips before. |
10/1 |

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

Finally opened his account at Southwell in April and he followed it with a solid third of eight there eight days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |

21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

A few near-misses around here before finally off the mark three weeks ago off 6lb lower (boasts a much better record on Tapeta than Polytrack); holds obvious claims under the vastly experienced Simon Walker. |

8st 13lb |
Record of 41333 since switched to AW, the win in a Southwell classified over 1m3f in January; respectable third on turf at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August, however, and he won't lack for fitness back on grass. |

3rd 6 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 4133 since switched to AW, the highlight an account-opening success over C&D (classified event); may have more to offer back in this scenario and remains of interest at a modest level. |
