27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |
12/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers. |

27th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
3yo whose profile is very up and down and he was well beaten at York four weeks ago; however, nine days earlier he was a close fourth at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on reappearance and he won a 7f maiden here last July; could be in the shake-up if leaving last time behind. |
12/1 |
|
21th 11 (19) |
31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lost his form as a 2yo after a 7f AW win in the summer, but there was more encouragement to be gleaned from a close fourth of 11 at Haydock (7f, good to firm; 50-1) on his reappearance last week; if he builds on that he'll have possibilities from an unchanged mark. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who posted a personal best when winning over C&D at the Ebor meeting (good to firm); far from disgraced when sixth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last month, finishing second in the near-side group; 2lb lower today and still has untapped potential; very interesting back at York and looks the one to beat. |
6/1 |
|
4 (19) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 2yo, including on soft; improved run by run this year, getting off the mark for the season with a doughty effort at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); that run promised more and although he's not well in under his 5lb penalty, he looks the type to make up into a Pattern-race performer; easy to see him in the thick of it. |
6/1 |
|
7 (10) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; ended 2yo campaign with a fine third in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, soft); seemed rusty here first time out this term but ran promisingly when fourth of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good) next time; anything but exposed and represents a yard in top form; high on the list. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got back on track with second of 11 in 6f Carlisle handicap eight days ago; needs to reproduce it here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He hasn't run badly in Class 6 handicaps on his last two starts but is still operating below his best; likely to run well all the same. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 4yo who has dropped 15lb since the autumn; kept on pretty well from the rear for third of seven at Ripon (6f, good) last week, though, and this stiffer track ought to suit him better. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent since winning off current mark over C&D in May; however, holds a fighting chance provided he takes well to new headgear and turns up in top form. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Won a 7f handicap at Brighton in May off 1lb lower; back to form when second at Chelmsford 16 days ago (7f); runs off the same mark and shouldn't be far away. |

11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability but he needs to produce more than he's managed in his first two nurseries if he's to come out on top today; visor goes on. |

19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth behind Educating Rita at Catterick on his second start and he's 11lb better off for just over 3l; still looked a work in progress when sixth at Carlisle two weeks ago (6f, good to firm); looks a likely improver now his attentions are switched to nurseries. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off 2-1 favourite for his Hamilton debut (6f, good) in June and showed ability in finishing fourth of eight, but hasn't fared any better in four starts since (gelded before latest outing); more needed. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

Modest form, although beaten less than 3l when seventh on handicap debut at Southwell last time (6f; cheekpieces tried); gelded since; first run at 7f (dam placed over 1m2f); headgear retained. |

9st 7lb |
Nothing exciting in three runs for Craig Lidster last summer, her third coming in a four-runner 6f novice here; this trip is no certainty to suit on pedigree; eight months off and considered only if she's been backed. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In very good form on the AW through the winter (scored twice at Newcastle) but he's yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and came in last of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap last time; others appeal much more. |
16/1 |

10th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has something to prove back on turf but is a leading player provided AW form is transferred back to this sphere; runner-up off 10lb higher at Southwell (5f) most recently. |

2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Course scorer who arrives in good nick, just edged out when fourth of six in 5f Newcastle handicap 19 days ago; can make his presence felt again. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Now 0-11 but has run okay now and again, notably when placed at Musselburgh last August (1m, good); latest run needs forgiving but this is such a bad race that he can't be ruled out. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden; ran okay over 7f at Redcar last month and should be sharper with that behind him; others look stronger all the same. |
