28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has mostly run well when at Haydock; as good as ever to win at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) last October on first start for 528 days; not disgraced in his next three starts (one over hurdles) but ran badly at Chester on latest; wore cheekpieces once (2022) and they now return in place of his usual hood. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
As good as ever to win at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) last October on first start for 528 days and not disgraced in his only three starts since (one over hurdles); just 1lb higher than at Catterick and he stays well, with today's first run at this track looking quite interesting too. |

25th May 2024 Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner in 2021 and good fifth in this race in 2022; as good as ever to win last October (1m4f, heavy) on first start for 528 days and he wasn't disgraced at Pontefract (2m2f, heavy) early last month, but he may find that one or two others are better handicapped. |

11st 0lb |
Last win came at Thirsk (1m4f, soft; acts on heavy) in June 2023 off 4lb higher mark; usually apprentice ridden and has been largely consistent this year, so has reasonable each-way claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |

3rd 5 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Flat winner for David O'Meara but hasn't really threatened to add to tally on the Flat or over hurdles for this yard, including back on the level last month. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time Flat winner, the latest in May 2024, and he ran okay in February on his last hurdle start; he may have needed the run when back on the Flat three weeks ago and is not ruled out off a reduced mark. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |

Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; cheekpieces left off last time are back on and he needs to show improvement. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing favourite in this race last year but he does stay the trip and acts on heavy going; Thirsk in May saw his first win since 2022 but he's underperformed on last four outings; the last two were admittedly on AW and he's back to that last winning mark. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D. |
11/2 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track. |
