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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in January/February, the third off 2lb lower over C&D; has continued in good form and is 2lb better off having been beaten 0.5l by Rubellite at Wolverhampton last time; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times on the AW earlier in the year, including in a classified event here over 1m4f; third over this C&D in March and posted another solid effort when filling that same position at Beverley (1m4f, good to soft) 23 days ago; claims back on the AW. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second over C&D 11 days ago; can go well again eased 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained most recent win in handicap hurdle in December; beaten only 2l over C&D last week, taking Beverley record to 1423234; hasn't scored on Flat since June 2024 but looks a solid contender kept to this venue. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-22 but he arrives in good form, third in minor handicaps at Beverley and Catterick on his last two starts; more minor money could be forthcoming. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 14 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Remains a maiden after 21 starts and he's had several opportunities off a similar mark to today's, but he's been running pretty well of late and was third of seven at Beverley last Monday; might have an each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-20 but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 12 to Sea Master over C&D 19 days ago; not out of things on 4lb better terms. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden who's found her level since cheekpieces went on, going close in similar races a couple of times earlier in the year; this the first time she's gone beyond 1m6f and she has claims if her stamina holds. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Inconsistent ten-race maiden but she was runner-up over C&D last month and wasn't beaten far back on turf at Beverley (1m4f) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she's in the mix back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
0-9 but she wasn't far away at Newcastle (1m4f) in February and went pretty close at Southwell (1m6f) the following month; disappointed in Lingfield classified (also AW) three weeks ago but she's not entirely ruled out in this first turf handicap. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 8lb
|
Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his first win for this stable at Doncaster (1m4f, good) this month and ran well at Southwell (1m3f, AW) six days ago; still fairly treated off this 2lb higher mark and has good claims. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hit traffic when not beaten far over C&D late last month and duly justified favouritism at Doncaster on Saturday; no penalty for that apprentice race win and is shortlisted under the experienced Fletcher Yarham. |

Won at Hamilton (1m4f) in June when returning from a 227-day break and beaten less than 3l when fourth to Sea Master there (1m5f, also good) next time; not in the same form subsequently but might do better back from her winter break. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last July and followed up over this C&D (good); tailed off here next time and down the field on last month's comeback at Beverley, but he may have needed that latest run; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back-to-back wins last summer came over 1m2f here (soft) and when narrowly making all at Catterick (1m4f, good); both wins came under Tom Kiely-Marshall but they also featured cheekpieces, which are missing for this comeback; mark is fine if he is ready. |
8/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Recent wins under Tom Kiely-Marshall (1m2f, soft; 1m4f, good) were by narrow margins so has only gone up 2lb; made the most of a soft lead here last time and he'll need to see out this longer trip, but clearly a contender. |

3rd 3 (8) |
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. |

18-race maiden who turned in one of her better efforts when beaten just 1l here (1m2f; cheekpieces, not worn today) on stable debut in June; last two starts have seen heavy defeats, however. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Made a promising stable debut when fourth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; met trouble) in June, but hasn't built on it twice since and now 0-16; needs to bounce back dropped in grade. |

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. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

3rd 5 (12) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Looked a hard ride but eventually wore down Hijo De La Luna in a 1m3f classified race at Southwell last month, coming home 2l to the good; beaten at short odds at Wolverhampton ten days later (1m4f) but still ran okay (easy winner has since followed up); now has cheekpieces fitted for the first time. |
