27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |

Went winless last season but ran well on occasions and he's handicapped to go in at some point; seems to run well fresh. |

Without a win this year but has run well in defeat and Newcastle last time was one of those races, going down by a neck; Lewis Chalkley returns with his claim and these two have combined well in the past. |

Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |

4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has the ability to win off this mark and she's coming here in good order; does need everything to fall just right though and her strike-rate tempers enthusiasm. |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest 2-26 strike-rate and beaten on her last 12 outings, but she's been a good fourth on her last two starts (5f/6f, heavy/soft) and seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

Three of her four wins have come over C&D, the latest off 3lb higher last May (good; handles soft); may have needed her reappearance three weeks ago and she's more appealing than many. |

Not as good this year and ran poorly on the AW last time; handles these conditions but she's always liked Catterick and would have preferred plenty of rain. |

Began this season with two down-the-field runs but her handicap third at Ripon (5f, soft) last month was much better; rarely runs on the AW but was a C&D winner in 2022; high on the list. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-48, but his second of eight at Catterick (5f, soft) on his penultimate start shows that he remains capable of a good effort; frame claims if the ground remains testing despite being just out of the weights and drawn low. |
12/1 |

17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say. |
