18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won Beverley novice (about 7f) as a 2yo and ran well over 7f on this track subsequently; well held in all three handicaps, though, including on yard debut back at Beverley 18 days ago; trip query dropped to 6f and might need another run or two. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has had only one run over 5f and it was in this race in 2024 when he finished a well-beaten 2-1 favourite; quiet in a light campaign in 2025; others look stronger. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at 6f, including on heavy last October, but he hasn't been nailing it in just three runs this year and these will be tough conditions in which to prove stamina in first attempt at 7f. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both his wins have come on soft ground but he ran a cracker on good ground over C&D last week (cheekpieces first time), keeping on well behind an in-form sprinter; 1lb higher today but still a strong contender, especially with some rain in the forecast. |

His reduced mark appeals on form as recent as last September but he's struggled to get competitive on his seven runs since December. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but ran encouragingly over C&D returned to AW last time and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort; defied higher marks twice in this sphere in 2021. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped with encouragement on his return to action at Chelmsford in May (6f); three disappointing turf runs have followed but he's slipped down the weights and drops into a Class 5 for the first time since his easy Haydock win last summer; not ruled out. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from his 15 starts and he's inconsistent; however, he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Thirsk and he's on a handy mark on last season's best 6f form; has hinted a few times that this step back up to 7f will be worth exploring and he's not discounted. |
12/1 |

10th 13 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1-14, the win coming on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) for the Crisfords in March last year; has proved inconsistent for this yard and may need the run; unraced on ground faster than good. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner who can miss the break and/or pull hard; does most racing now over further and didn't offer much on her comeback here last month without the usual hood (back on today). |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Scored off this mark over C&D last March but she didn't hit the same level in seven subsequent runs last year; has a bit to prove after eight months off and regular hood is missing on this step back up in grade. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two of last summer's three wins came over C&D (good/good to firm) and she returned to form when third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Tuesday on her second start of the season; she's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three 7f handicaps (including here); 5lb lower than for the last of them and last month's return to action should have sharpened her up. |
