24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
5f winner on soft and acts on heavy; eased down when appearing to lose his action at Redcar (5f, soft) last week; if over that, he's on a competitive mark. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Conditions will suit and he's been running creditably of late, albeit without quite being at his spring best; not sure stall 12 will be beneficial. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has generally remained in form since his soft-ground success (off 1lb lower) in the spring; did well to make the frame at Catterick last week considering he raced alone; ties in with Alafdhal on that effort. |

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 |

5th 7 (7) |
17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
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. |

8st 9lb |
Sole win (1-34) at Newcastle in October 2021; placed on various occasions at Wolverhampton (5f-6f) last year, and could potentially strip fitter for recent Catterick comeback; nevertheless, still has plenty of work to do with stablemate Captain Corcoran. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner, from 7.5f to 1m4f, at Beverley; however, latest effort (here) doesn't suggest his old legs are crying out for this 3.5f drop back in trip. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Veteran who is 6-23 at Beverley, the most recent success last August in last 1m4f attempt; could go well returned to this scenario with Catterick reappearance (7f) under his belt. |

All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here. |

Down the field last summer on final two runs for Paul Midgley and same story this spring on both outings for new yard; however, he's had wind surgery since last time and is 8lb lower than when runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last April, which came after his first wind op; tongue-tie goes on. |

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. |
