No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

8st 9lb |
Sole win (1-34) at Newcastle in October 2021; placed on various occasions at Wolverhampton (5f-6f) last year, and could potentially strip fitter for recent Catterick comeback; nevertheless, still has plenty of work to do with stablemate Captain Corcoran. |

Just one win from her 33 starts; ran some good races on AW last season but she's back from 236 days off and others look more persuasive. |

23rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced all four starts for Michael Appleby and now 0-14 overall; didn't run badly over 6f last time and is not fully exposed over 7f but others in this field have much stronger claims. |

7th 6 (10) |

21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; has bits of encouraging form and this is just his third run for Mick Appleby, but he's not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; well beaten in his two runs with a visor for former yard and now tries cheekpieces. |

Missed a lot of his career but has been threatening on Tapeta since his return, flattening out over 6f as favourite before a fair effort from a wide stall last time; these conditions are an unknown, however. |

All ten wins have been on AW including five at this track; runner-up off 2lb higher over C&D in September but it has been tough going since and others look safer. |
33/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Better at 6f these days and can be given a pass for his latest Southwell run (5f); second over C&D on his penultimate start and he is one to consider at this level. |

Has made the frame a few times over C&D, but a record of 1-49 doesn't make him an appealing proposition. |

10th 11 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-48, the win gained over 5f here in 2023; back from a break with three pretty good efforts this year, the latest a 66-1 fourth at Kempton (6f), but still makes only limited appeal. |
16/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Respectable efforts in classified events (5f) in last two runs but it's almost three years since his sole win and others are preferred; one of three runners for the yard. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Now a 17-race maiden but she has shown winning potential this year and her recent Wolverhampton fourth (after an 11-week break) was encouraging with a view to this return to 6f; more appealing than many. |

0-16; placed here over 6f in July and backed that up when third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) next time; not seen since a well-beaten favourite at Brighton (6f, good) in August; needs to bounce back after a break. |

12-race maiden who is hard to fancy on the majority of her form but she ran well in first-time cheekpieces last December and okay in first-time blinkers in May, and is not ruled out now wearing a visor for the first time. |

Low-level maiden who's been tried over 5f-8.7f, and in various headgear, without joy; the lowest rated of all and would be a surprise winner. |

Maiden (0-9); a bit better at Ffos Las (5f classified race) on her penultimate start but has taken a backward step at Bath since; fairly swiftly dismissed. |
25/1 |
|
12th 13 (2) |
12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden but she found improvement on her drop to 5f when fifth in a classified event at Ffos Las (good; 66-1) last month; was beaten less than 2l in that race and has possibilities if she can build on that back in a handicap. |
25/1 |
