15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |

5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Record of 1-27 on AW but he gave it a good shot when third behind Aisling Oscar over C&D three weeks ago; on same mark here and he could be in the mix again. |

4-13 on turf but just 1-26 on AW; returned from five-month break with low-key 7f run here on Friday and remains on the same fairly tough mark. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Form dipped at Redcar in June when last seen; has some respectable Newcastle form for current yard, notably a success off 2lb higher last December; interesting back at this venue. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Not the best of strike-rates (3-34) and yet to win over 1m; fair run when fourth after a slow start over C&D last time (soft; just behind Young Fire); worth considering. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |
5/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still on career-high mark but latest effort (when bidding for 6f double) suggests he remains in form, and his Pontefract record is largely consistent; solid contender. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won on a range of surfaces but two 6f wins in 2025 came on good to firm and he was racing on that surface for the first time since when winning at Thirsk last week; back up 3lb and has another good run in him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two 6f wins on fast ground last season; made a pleasing return to action at Newcastle (6f) in March and raced away from the main action when well held back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) since; not discounted. |

19th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handy sort who won twice over C&D early last year and added another success at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in September; third of eight behind a thriving rival at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 13 days ago showed that she remains in form and a player from 1lb lower. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton (7f) in September; four of her five subsequent runs have been solid enough but she remains 3lb above that successful mark; first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to give her something extra. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (4) |
31st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton in September (7f); three of her four subsequent runs have been solid enough but more will be needed to win here. |
