27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a promising start to her career last summer and it's possible her time off may have helped; however, she struggled on her final four runs last year and very much needs to turn things around on this reappearance. |

Seven-race maiden but he finished second over C&D in October (heavy) and that form makes him of interest off his reduced mark; accessories added for his first run in a turf handicap; one to consider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In-form 5yo; overcame trouble to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and was a creditable fourth in a big field here (6f, good) ten days ago; should be thereabouts again off an unchanged mark. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed fortunes since winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 (good to firm); got back on track to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month despite being denied a clear run; his peak performances have come at 5f but he was a C&D winner in his 2yo season; respected up just 3lb for last time. |
14/1 |

1st 6 (14) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |

Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024; seen only twice last season and down the field on both his AW outings this term, but he met trouble last time and is probably in much better form than his finishing position suggests; undoubtedly well handicapped again and this C&D winner is interesting with a good-value claimer booked. |

All three wins on turf when trained by Kevin Ryan; beaten a head over C&D in February but below that level twice since; may do better back at this track. |

Weighted to reverse October's Pontefract form with Fine Interview; best run for new stable came when second at Kempton last month; raced too freely at Newcastle since; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |

18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't need to be at his best when finally off the mark in a weak 5f Musselburgh novice last month and took his handicap record to 0-9 when a respectable fourth at Newcastle (6f) since; may again have to settle for minor honours. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak 5f novice last time; won't mind the return to 6f or Tapeta (went close over C&D in the spring) but has had plenty of chances off similar ratings. |

made virtually all, pushed along and faced challenge over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds, much reduced lead towards finish, always doing enough |

Best effort when third of five in a Pontefract novice (5f, good to firm) last August, but well held in both subsequent nurseries; plenty to prove back from eight months off. |

Won four times for his previous stable, three of which came on the AW at Newcastle; ended his time with that yard with some lesser efforts and he's been well held in two starts for Scott Dixon; dropped another 3lb. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Four wins for the Barrons, three of them over 7f on the Tapeta at Newcastle; 28-1 for his stable debut two weeks ago (first run after a 175-day break) and he weakened as though it was needed; likely to bounce back at some point. |
