22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first success at Ripon (6f) in April; mainly in good form since, though only ninth of 12 in 5.5f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him get back on track here. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Just one win (6f, good) to his name from 14 attempts and that came at a lower level; others bring greater potential this time. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 5f AW maiden for Ed Bethell last September; two fair runs in 6f turf handicaps on first two starts this term (with a hood on second occasion); tried in cheekpieces last time (met trouble); now up in trip with a hood back on. |
8/1 |

10th 11 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
5f AW win for Ed Bethell last September; better form when a close second at Ripon on her seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (6f, good); not so good at Hamilton 16 days ago when tried in a hood; now gets cheekpieces and needs to improve for them. |
16/1 |

5f AW win for Ed Bethell; good start for her new connections when a close second of ten at Ripon last month (6f, good; first two clear); up 3lb but she can't be ruled out. |

Winless this season and he came in a below-par sixth of 11 over C&D 11 days ago; more is required if he's to double his tally. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Hasn't looked on that good a mark since winning as a 2yo and ordinary of late, with and without headgear. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Leicester as a 2yo; the handicapper has been firmly in command this year, with headgear making no difference on his last two starts; steps up to 7f and drops into Class 6 company but others are more appealing. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made the most of a favourable draw, running down the pacesetter at Redcar (6f, good) in June; down the field in both subsequent runs, but he looked stretched over 7f at Doncaster last time and is now only 3lb higher than for his win; could be dangerous back in trip. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made the most of a favourable draw, running down the pacesetter at Redcar (6f, good; from 4lb lower) in June; below that level at Thirsk, but this is easier, and Jake Dickson's 5lb claim is handy; stamina is untested beyond 6f. |
5/1 |

7th 12 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a ready win at Redcar (6f, good) 11 days ago, strong at the finish; up 5lb in a higher grade but he's not fully exposed just yet. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Got up to beat the favourite with the pair clear last week at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and he's unexposed at this trip; may well defy the penalty but softening ground could complicate matters. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he wasn't discredited when a staying-on third of six in 5f Musselburgh handicap 17 days ago; has his stamina to prove over this markedly longer trip, though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; second in a C&D novice in 2025, but has raced mainly over further since; beaten over 7l back over 5f at Newmarket last time; bit to prove. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well on Haydock debut (third) and off the mark next time in a modest three-runner Newcastle novice (6f; 2-1; made all); possibly needed her recent comeback run at Southwell (7f; fifth of seven), and dropping back in trip looks sensible; chance, despite a poor draw. |
15/2 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both starts over 6f last September, finishing third at Haydock then beating two rivals at Newcastle (AW); can pick holes in her form but further improvement is possible; likely to stay this extra furlong. |
11/4 |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Invincible Spirit sister to 1m/9.4f winner Master Of Combat (RPR 88); held in 3l third of seven when favourite on recent Haydock debut (6f, good) but she ran well for a long way and that was behind a useful prospect; should benefit from that experience and she's respected on this switch to AW. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2yo season with 5f Lingfield novice win (Polytrack) but well-held seventh this term in 6f handicaps at Ripon (reared start) and this venue; first-time blinkers and return to 5f need to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Reared as the stalls opened on her turf comeback and that can be ignored; easy to back that day but being dropped 2lb won't hurt and it will have blown away the cobwebs. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton and Catterick (6f fillies' maiden; first-time cheekpieces) prior to being slowly away at Lingfield (7f) in early December; took her chance - always handy - back there (5f novice) a fortnight later, and has been given a four-month break since; retains potential. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won his maiden over C&D in February, since when he's been turned over four times as favourite in handicaps; last two efforts, including one having been gelded, were particularly poor, and leave him plenty to prove; stable in fine form, though. |
5/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bang in form on the AW before going off too fast when made favourite for his turf debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon; remains of interest and looks sharp enough for 5f; gelded since. |
3/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (6f, maiden; 4-1) in February; has bettered that since (on RPRs) with narrow defeats at Lingfield and Newcastle; 2lb higher again, but possible he can stake a claim if proving as effective on turf (debut). |

Two C&D handicap wins this year, latter off 1lb lower than today; found it tougher on turf since but could bounce back returned to AW having been gelded. |

8th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Faded over C&D on his yard debut following a break and has been kept to 6f since, improving for the fitting of cheekpieces when winning at Ripon (good) in May; in nothing like the same form in two starts since, though. |
10/1 |

9th 4 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
One win from eight starts, namely a 6f handicap at Ripon last month when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; the headgear was absent when sixth back at Ripon 17 days ago and no surprise to see it back in place today; respected. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Started off for new stable with two down-the-field runs last month but bounced back to form with clear C&D (good) win in first-time cheekpices 11 days ago; not ideally drawn today and goes without cheekpieces this time but still respected under 6lb penalty (due to go up that amount anyway). |
