25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has responded positively to this headgear combination the last twice in handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f (both on good); strong stayer on the Flat so this longer trip is worth a go. |

7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made all over hurdles at Catterick in March but pulled up at Hexham next time; bounced back to form returned to the Flat nine days ago, keeping on into fourth over this C&D; each-way chance. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Returns to the Flat after showing mixed form over hurdles; placed three times in seven visits here including over this trip, but others are more compelling. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ridden from the front when gaining a breakthrough win over hurdles in 3m1f Catterick handicap 21 days ago; this fair winning stayer on the Flat can make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won four-runner race at Beverley (2m, soft) in July but out of form since; soundly beaten last time in the Cesarewitch here for the third year running; well handicapped if this proved one of his good days. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Well beaten in this race in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial three weeks ago on his only other race at Newmarket; good ground for all three of those was probably not ideal and he'd be well handicapped if this proved one of his best days, but others look more solid. |

17th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning start for current yard at Ripon (2m) in June but her form has dipped recently, only sixth in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 29 days ago; she needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won a four-runner race on stable debut at Ripon (2m) in June but that's her best run this year; probably okay on soft ground but soundly beaten on heavy on latest outing; back to her last winning mark. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly over hurdles since joining Adrian Keatley; was booked for second-place (at best) when taking a late fall at Southwell three weeks ago; switches back to the Flat in a newly applied visor; was previously effective on the AW at Dundalk, but difficult to know what to expect. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) on his second run for this yard and was a close second there (soft) next time; his form cooled at Perth (2m4f) 19 days ago but he didn't seem to get home at that new trip and has leading form claims back in a 2m novice; respected. |
9/4 |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; two good hurdle runs over 2m at Market Rasen for present yard (good/soft), the latest with cheekpieces back on; not a certain stayer on first run at 2m4f. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer in his prime but out of form in low-grade AW handicaps this year and again disappointed when back on turf last month; revival needed. |
16/1 |
|
12th 12 (2) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Dual-purpose veteran who gained his latest win in 2m2f marathon on soft ground in April 2023; placed under Margot Scudamore at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December but this year's AW form is very uninspiring. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |

Catterick winner off 1lb lower in May (2m, good) but rather disappointing since; others in better form |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
9th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |
13/2 |
