27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |
10/1 |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |

4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
With blinkers added he finished runner-up from similar marks at Doncaster (1m, good) and Nottingham (1m, heavy) in the summer, but twice well held since (back in cheekpieces last time); now 0-13 and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

12th 6 (4) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed on latest outing six weeks ago and now 0-12 but lost out only by a neck off today's mark at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy; also suited by good) two starts ago and has obvious claims if back at that level here; blinkered for last three runs; cheekpieces refitted today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-11 and needs to prove he can get the job done but he's returned to form in these blinkers the last twice, finishing second at Doncaster (1m, good) and Nottingham (1m, heavy); can give another good account. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner who is 0-13 on turf, but she returned from a break with a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and is a big player if she can back that up. |
9/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Two 7f AW wins last August/September and she went close on turf in between; however, she was below par at Southwell (7f, AW) in February after 112 days off and returns from another break today. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
4-15 at Beverley, with the wins all in Class 6; the most recent win was last month (8.4f) but he's taken two backward steps since and most form in the last two years suggests a supporting role. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Successful four times at Beverley, all in Class 6, most recently on penultimate start; placed in Class 5 at Thirsk latest; could go well but this isn't his ideal grade. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four of his five wins have come at Beverley, the latest nine days ago (8.5f, good to firm); 4lb higher in a stronger race but as the only last-time-out winner in the field he has to come right into the reckoning. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 since winning four of his five starts between October 2023 and May 2024, but is 2-5 around here and very well treated on form as recently as last summer; off five months, but is proven fresh. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Record on the AW last year read 1161 including two wins over C&D; not at his best when behind two of these back here in February, but more than capable of making an impact if bouncing back. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back from nearly two months off with a second C&D success in 14-runner handicap in December, getting up late on; up 3lb but very much one to consider after another break. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win came at this venue a year ago; largely consistent this season and has made the frame in two C&D contests since wearing cheekpieces, good second latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D nursery last October and has made the frame on five of his six starts this year, most recently when fourth over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) this month; 1lb lower today and likely to be on the premises again. |
4/1 |
