28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins, the first of them here and by a wide margin; two heavy defeats this spring but he's the type to pop up soon, perhaps when faced with some slower ground. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Revitalised in blinkers and ended 2025 with victories over C&D (good to soft) and at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) in September; went without the blinkers when always behind on his Thirsk reappearance 11 days ago but could fare a lot better with the headgear back in place now. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop who lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to form last Monday (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) when a clearcut winner on his debut for this yard; William Pearman rides again with a penalty to carry. |
7/2 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland earlier in the year and, although potentially well treated if the change of scenery has helped, he's hard to recommend this time. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win on Chelmsford Polytrack, but he was soundly beaten in them on penultimate start and below form when hooded on latest; now he has cheekpieces plus a first-time tongue-tie; lightly raced but none too solid. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles, including from a mark of 77 at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last September; low-key in points since joining Tom Fife, failing to beat a single rival at Hornby Castle and Witton Castle; most unlikely candidate. |
40/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Stayed on best for a successful stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) with this headgear combination back on; raised a fair 5lb and gives the impression that he'll stay this far. |

Winner under both codes in 2024 but hasn't convinced when going beyond 1m1f on the Flat previously. |

5th 7 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
It's now 25 runs since her last success and she beat just two over C&D 16 days ago; others are preferred. |
