2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still on career-high mark but latest effort (when bidding for 6f double) suggests he remains in form, and his Pontefract record is largely consistent; solid contender. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won on a range of surfaces but two 6f wins in 2025 came on good to firm and he was racing on that surface for the first time since when winning at Thirsk last week; back up 3lb and has another good run in him. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable. |
10/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Ran out the comfortable winner of a 6f handicap at Yarmouth last month but she was unable to build on it at Kempton nine days later; steps up in class this time. |

Proved more settled than usual when readily getting off the mark for her new yard in 6f Yarmouth handicap nine days ago; the one to beat under a 6lb penalty. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise over C&D on 2yo debut; better form when second of ten at Nottingham last month (6f, good); open to further progress and her opening mark looks manageable; good chance. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Caught napping for pace on Leicester debut (6f, soft) in October but she rallied and only just failed to get up; failed to flourish over 7f on Tapeta in November but the return to these conditions could pay dividends. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Just about held on for fourth when sent off joint-favourite for debut at York last month (6f, good to firm); this 360,000gns breeze-up buy is surely capable of better; left in Gimcrack after Tuesday's acceptance stage. |
6/4 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
360,000gns breeze-up 2yo; seventh foal; closely related to winners Byzantium (Listed-placed 6f 2yo; RPR 101) and Senorita Grande (6f AW; 66), half-brother to winners New Road Side (5f including 2yo; 84) and Pak Choi (7f AW; 80); dam 5f winner (81); interesting newcomer for a stable that won this in 2016 and 2017. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
4-30; rated 5lb lower than when last successful at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; has been knocking on the door lately, runner-up on last two starts, including under Paul Mulrennan at Ayr; should have a positive role to play. |
11/4 |

2nd 6 (11) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with some below-par efforts but built upon satisfactory reappearance run when runner-up at Ayr (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and remains 6lb lower than when winning over that C&D last summer. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times in 2024, but losing run up to 14 despite a tumbling mark; fair effort when fourth of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) 18 days ago, though, and the winner has gone in again since; each way claims. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed over 6f on his four starts this spring but he hasn't been running badly and is dropping down the weights; showed promise over 7f at Carlisle last September and the step back up in trip may be a positive move; possible player. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved when winning a handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in September but pulled too hard at Newcastle next time; beat only one rival home at Catterick (6f, good) on her reappearance but she raced wide on that occasion and may well come on for it; drop back to 5f should be fine. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in two maidens at Newcastle (5f/6f, AW) towards end of last year; below his best at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February when last seen but goes handicapping with his yard in good form and could be in the mix. |
14/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Promising second at Newcastle in November (5f) and filled the same spot back there one month later (6f); should remain competitive. |
