22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best form so far on Tapeta including all four wins, but has generally been disappointing since returning from eight months off in December and failed to beat a rival at Southwell (1m3f) last time; down in grade but enough to prove. |
11/1 |
|

30th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta including twice over 1m4f here; back off his last winning mark, but needs to better his two efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last month. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his 1m4f win here last March; low-key return to action (after 232 days off) at Lingfield four weeks ago but he took a good step forward with his reappearance behind him last winter and the same is quite possible here; each-way claims. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |
|

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

Runner-up in both bumpers and ran her best race on the Flat when beaten half-length into second of six at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) 13 days ago; races off the same mark and remains unexposed. |

Longstanding maiden who returned after a long absence with tailed-off effort on stable debut at Windsor (11.4f classified) in June; no appeal. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's done most racing in a hood and been tried over 7f-2m without joy; has the ability to win off this mark if things fall right but has had 16 cracks at it now. |

10st 0lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March but her winning streak came to an end over C&D (fourth of eight) last time; still unexposed at this trip but she needs to find more to defy this mark. |

Non-stop progress since returning from a layoff, winning four times and going 21lb up the weights; may not be done yet but she didn't look to see it out in a couple of tries at beyond 1m2f last year, including over C&D, and this is her toughest test yet. |

Acts on fast and heavy ground; dual course winner, more recently when clinging on by a short head in December (2m2f, heavy ground); back on the same mark today but he's struggled in his last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

13-race maiden; suggested her turn might be near when staying-on second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in January but two lesser efforts followed, and this turf debut comes after a 161-day break. |

Very modest on the Flat nowadays and tailed off last month on her first two hurdle starts; a transformation is needed. |

9th 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 11f Flat winner but she was hooded when a well-held fifth on her yard/hurdling debut in 2m Doncaster maiden 15 days ago; in good hands though so not written off. |
40/1 |
|
5th 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 1m3f Flat winner but she ended her time with Tony Forbes below par last autumn; starts out over hurdles now for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard so can't be discounted; hood (tried once in 2023) is refitted. |

9st 7lb |
In fine form, following a Wolverhampton win (about 1m1f) with two strong-finishing close calls at Brighton (1m2f) and back at Wolverhampton (1m4f; Oisin Murphy up for the first time); won on this track as a 3yo and unlikely to have a problem back on Polytrack; good chance. |

C&D winner who has returned to form with a comfortable success here (9.4f) and a close second at Brighton (1m2f) in his last two runs; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's a key player on this step back up to 1m4f. |

Took advantage of a low mark on Southwell AW in March but Lincoln Rockstar was too strong for him back on turf at Beverley (1m4f, soft) in May; has a weights turnaround today but the winner has edged forward since and has less to prove over 1m6f. |
