17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and out of the frame in three starts since returning in April, albeit he met trouble when finishing in midfield in the Carlisle Bell (7.7f, soft) last month; 4lb lower than for the latest of two wins in April last year; interesting. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last April (1m, AW/soft) and he's 1lb lower than when last successful; the return to slow turf could also be a plus; however, he's failed to shine on either outing this season and has something to prove. |

11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
7yo who has an impressive 8-28 strike-rate and is effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his comeback run at Newmarket last month but was beaten a long way at 66-1, and he was also below par last May/July on his final two outings last season; plenty to prove. |

Sole win from 39 starts was in June 2022 and he's been beaten 13l or more in his last four runs; opposable. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Of interest on last year's best but he ended 2024 with a whimper and neither AW run this March suggested he was the answer. |

26th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran to fair level in four AW novice races this year and heavy ground was surely a factor in him finishing tailed off on his handicap debut at Leicester (1m); stamina is not assured over this far but likely to have more to offer. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
14th Apr 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran to fair level in four AW novice races this year, most notably when second of five at Lingfield (1m) on third occasion; should have some improvement to come in handicaps and it will be interesting to see whether today's switch to slow turf suits. |
4/1 |

6th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Steady progress in his first three starts, culminating in a length defeat by Divine Rapture at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; 7lb better off with the winner and he may step up again, but given he had previous experience he is far from certain to reverse the form. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

3rd 15 (17) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |

13th 10 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
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. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two 6f wins on fast ground last season; made a pleasing return to action at Newcastle (6f) in March and raced away from the main action when well held back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) since; not discounted. |

31st Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three poor efforts over 1m for Charles Hills last spring and left him for 2,000gns in the summer; the market will guide for his new yard, back from ten months off having been gelded. |
