5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Beat The Good Biscuit over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April and he is 14lb better off with that rival today; needs to bounce back from some modest runs though and he is drawn out wide in stall 10. |
16/1 |
|
19th 13 (18) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Sole turf win when beating five rivals at Pontefract (6f, good) on yard debut and reappearance in April; useful effort when fourth of 21 in a valuable York sprint (6f, good to firm) in July but vulnerable since and the recent rain is of uncertain benefit. |
33/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Below par at Thirsk (6f, good) last Friday and unproven at 7f; however, he's produced some strong finishes over 6f this term and is not discounted. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Five wins and a second from his 13 visits to Pontefract; better than ever with his C&D success 11 days ago but he is 4lb higher in a stronger race and a double-figure stall isn't optimal. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hit a rich vein of form this summer, including a pair of C&D wins on good to firm; not at best when fifth of nine at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago but his good Pontefract record makes him a dangerous one to discount. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time turf winner who has won three of his last four starts, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's been as good as ever this summer and could continue on an upward curve; respected. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D in first-tiime cheekpieces on stable debut in July and followed up with narrow success at Epsom (6f, good to firm) last month; could still have more improvement to come for James Owen; must be considered. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Tim Easterby with two good efforts in the spring and made winning stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; will be fine back on turf and could still have more to offer for new stable; major player. |
7/4 |
|
1st 12 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Expensive to follow this season, having missed ten months, for Tim Easterby; run well on Tapeta before and a couple of times in a visor too, so it wouldn't surprise were to to take this in first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair reappearance over C&D in April but he hasn't gone on from that and was tailed off at York (6f, good to firm) in July; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove after a short break; stablemate of Beauty Choice. |
20/1 |

21th 12 (19) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fair reappearance at Pontefract but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; down the field behind Magic Boy here 13 days ago. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a losing run at Carlisle (6f) in August but below that form both runs since and came last of 16 at Doncaster (6f) two days ago; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
16th 5 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won by 4l at Carlisle (6f, good) last month before close third under 5lb penalty at Ffos Las (6f, good); he's another 4lb higher today but could still give a good account if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground). |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not an instant success for new stable this season but won easily by 4l off much-reduced mark at Carlisle (5.8f, good) ten days ago and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under 5lb penalty here; commands respect. |

1st 5 (5) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Novice winner; 0-7 in handicaps but he's fresh, having raced only twice this term, and had further wind surgery prior to an encouraging effort at Doncaster (7f) last time; this may be the time to catch him; AW debut. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f novice win here last summer came after a wind op; well beaten at Pontefract on his seasonal return, after which he underwent further wind surgery; dangerous mark if it has the desired effect. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |
