25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in five of his six runs this season but he battled well when winning in the mud at Beverley (2m, heavy) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form but he needs to bounce back again after a laboured effort at York. |
14/1 |

12th 11 (2) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Failed to beat a rival on his first three starts this season but returned to form with a bang for short-head win under Jake Dickson in an apprentice handicap at Beverley (2m, heavy) last Sunday, the front two miles clear; escapes a penalty today and has to be firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice at around 2m in 2025 but he's performed miserably this season and needs to turn a corner. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Just one win from his 15 starts but he looked better than ever when short-headed in first-time blinkers (retained) at Beverley (2m, heavy) last month, when miles clear of the third; just 1lb higher today and he might be able to go one better. |
13/8 |

2nd 3 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1m4f AW winner in January off 4lb lower; went close two runs back (1m5f) and could have done with a truer gallop when third upped to 2m back at Newcastle; slow ground and blinkers (replacing visor) are firsts but commands respect. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Convincing 1m4f winner here in January; best run since when a clear second at Hamilton last time (1m5f, good to firm); now tries 2m for the first time; chance. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
His remote third at Beverley (2m) is readily forgiven when the ground was heavy and he was returning from an absence of 527 days; however, he's a 9yo now and looks vulnerable. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
A six-time winner but a 9yo now and has been absent since finishing second over hurdles in March 2025; probably best watched. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Promising start for this yard before two lesser efforts (latterly behind a Prescott good thing); returning to further on slow ground should be beneficial. |
11/2 |
|
4th 5 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First two Flat runs for this yard were fairly encouraging, beaten 3l over C&D in June and second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) the following month; lacked the gears at Musselburgh last time but he's still of some interest. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two encouraging Flat runs for new stable, latterly when second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 24 days ago; 1lb higher today but still holds stronger claims than many. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won three 2m handicaps for David Simcock in 2024; absent for 696 days prior to finishing tailed off on his stable debut at Beverley (2m, heavy) five weeks ago; accessories now added; risky. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In a fine run of form for David Simcock during 2024, over 1m6f/2m on the AW and fast ground; effective on soft as well but has a long absence to overcome. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Plenty of racing on the Flat, winning for a third time when successful over 1m4f on the AW this June; it's proving harder work over hurdles, last time trailing home last here on his handicap debut (16-1). |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Fair Flat-racer who won in first-time blinkers on the AW (2m; RPR 72) this summer and can probably be excused his recent defeat on heavy ground; showed only minor promise in three maiden hurdles last season but is open to improvement in handicaps this term; market reference recommended. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) and nearly followed up at Ayr, over 1m5f on good; stays this far and handles slow ground, so has to be considered. |
