17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Six wins this year alone, three over 6f on AW and three on turf (7f); just 2lb higher than the latest of them in June but he needs more than shown in recent starts. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick in the summer (first two legs over C&D); unplaced on his last two starts and likely too high in the weights now. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Followed his 7f win here with a near miss over the same trip, keeping on well; only 1lb higher and returning to 1m looks a good thing. |

2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Lacks consistency but has won his last two starts here, having beaten Wish This over C&D off 3lb lower five weeks ago; claims on that but no guarantee he'll repeat the effort and this is a bit tougher. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; put some disappointing efforts behind him and made bold bid from the front before weakening into fourth behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

0-7; showed plenty of ability in both starts on soft ground as a 2yo, but has regressed in an abbreviated career since; best watched. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won a 6f handicap here (good to firm) in July off a 1lb higher mark; handles soft ground but the worry is that he might get going too late back at 5f. |

6th 12 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

C&D win in July off this mark; late headway back at 5f here 12 days ago and the return to this trip will suit; not discounted. |

Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently. |

Mr Reliable over C&D, winning two of five starts (good, acts on soft), the latest from the front in June, and placed in the other three; well held behind Black Storm at Catterick last month but of interest back here. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Mostly running well since cheekpieces were fitted in June, winning over 7f (good) in July and 6f (good to soft) in September; will probably need extra for another win, though. |

3rd 1 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has found a bit extra in cheekpieces this summer and ended a losing run at Chester (7f, good) in July; went in again at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, narrowly once more, and goes on the shortlist. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Cheekpieces have helped this summer and he ended a losing run off 2lb lower at Chester in July; yard going well but maybe another furlong is optimal these days, especially round an easy, turning course. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September, but there was a heavy defeat on his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago. |
16/1 |

15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |
