11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

3rd 7 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a ten-time winner at Ripon, most recently last September; led for long way in small field over 6f here most recently and appears to retain a sizeable chunk of ability. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten of his 12 wins have been at Ripon including seven on fast and slow ground over C&D; hasn't threatened in three runs this season but he was a respectable second at Catterick (6f) last time and he's in the mix back at this track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
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. |

29th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 for current stable but has become well treated, having gained all wins off higher marks; shaped encouragingly at Newcastle (7f) most recently while leaving the impression this return to 1m will suit; not ruled out. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Triple winner at up to 1m, including on Tapeta; back on a handy mark and she showed signs of a revival last time, so not written off. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Four wins at Newcastle when trained in Britain and won over this trip at Down Royal last summer; two low-key runs on first two runs for this yard but showed more when sixth of 19 at Navan last time; on a good mark if he can build on that. |
7/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner on soft ground, the latest off a 6lb higher mark in October 2024; plenty of sound runs since (placed over C&D on four occasions); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
