22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in novice company before running creditably in 1m handicaps at Ascot and Redcar last July; both subsequent runs have resulted in heavy defeats over 1m2f; returns from 222 days off at a lower level and back at a mile; not ruled out. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
2-3 in novice events (both wins on slow ground, one of them here) and encouraging third on handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; however, hasn't kicked on from there and was well beaten when upped in trip at York (1m2f, good to firm) in August last time. |

2-3 in novice events and third in small fields at Ascot (1m, good to firm) and Redcar (1m, good) on her two handicap runs; represents in-form yard and improvement can't be ruled out now up in trip, but it is necessary. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4yo filly whose form at Pontefract comprises her sole turf win, gained over 6f in 2024, and strong-finishing second (nearly got up) over 1m last time; major player back up just 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner as 2yo; some good AW runs since winning at Newcastle (1m) in October but she's slacked off on her last two starts and needs a turnaround now back on this surface; has more to prove than some. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins on the AW and 0-15 on turf, though has been running well at 1m-1m2f on grass this year without getting the job done; does have to bounce back from a poor one, however. |
6/1 |
|
10th 4 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Held off his revised mark on turf since two AW wins, including here, in April; wins have all come over shorter but he stays this far and is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |

Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

5th 6 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Both wins in the second half of 2025, first time when beating Perfidia at Beverley (8.4f) and second time here (1m); one to note given he seems to be building up to a bigger effort this time around. |

Last four wins over 1m at Pontefract but he has placed on all three course visits and he arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Redcar (1m, good) last weekend; has won on good to soft; enters calculations. |

Low-mileage 4yo; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good fifth of nine over C&D in July; also placed twice here last summer so can't be ruled out in her bid for a breakthrough success. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden who has failed to progress in two handicaps this season; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a bigger effort is likely. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |
|
1 (7) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |
