Two turf wins (in blinkers/cheekpieces) for previous yard; ran poorly, minus headgear, on debut for new stable but may rebound with visor now applied; not disgraced in sole AW attempt. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |

8th 6 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |

2nd 16 (7) |

Ended 2025 in top form and he has returned to action with two solid placed efforts; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good shot. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |
|
5 (6) |
14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; below his best in four starts this year and others are preferred. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has gained all handicap wins at Catterick/Pontefract and those two tracks have been the scene of her last two runs (finished first then fourth); makes first visit to Carlisle. |
11/2 |

4th 2 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner 12 months ago (good ground); back to winning ways in a 6f handicap at Catterick three weeks ago, doing well from a wide stall; has landed the widest draw again today and that could find her out. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Two narrow AW wins at 6f and 7f over the winter months; never involved back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently and although this is less competitive her stamina for a tough 7f like this still has to be proved. |
16/1 |
|
9th 13 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Successful twice (6f/7f) on AW during the winter but her mark edged up and she was only seventh at Newcastle on Good Friday; used to be just as effective on turf but she needs to bounce back and others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
7th 11 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Coped well with the rise in class at Lingfield five weeks ago, finishing with a flourish and nabbing Powdering close home; that was her first attempt at 7f, and in a hood, and she could have more to offer at the trip. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |
