On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has a poor strike-rate but went close at Ripon last weekend and holds a fighting chance in this grade; gained sole handicap win off 5lb higher. |

2nd 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to improve on his 2025 efforts; however, won this race (off 4lb higher) last year and has a good chance if back to that form. |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Good third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in July and now 5lb lower; however, she finished down the field on her final two runs for the Fell/Murray yard and it was the same story on her recent stable debut; now 0-17 and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers (replacing a hood). |
20/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-16 for her former stable but she has plenty of placed form, including over C&D; this represents a drop in class and her new yard (same owner) try her in a hood; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
10 (3) |
6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who is inconsistent and was below par at Redcar last week; however, she's popped up with a few good runs this year and perhaps this prominent-racer will be aided by the first-time cheekpieces and her low draw. |

9st 6lb |
Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

6th 7 (4) |
20th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5th 8 (6) |
8th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; best form on the AW with a visor; tailed off on both turf starts this season, the first with cheekpieces tried (6f) and most recently over 7.5f with a visor back on (retained); others look stronger. |

9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win and he was over 4l behind his reopposing stablemate Ifonlytheycudtalk at Beverley two weeks ago; his best efforts do bring him right into the reckoning though and he ran well in one attempt on AW this summer. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 but has run well more often than not in handicaps and he was a close third at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last Tuesday; also effective on good to soft ground; wears a first-time eyeshield; he's one to consider. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (2) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two nurseries on turf last season; mixed form on grass this year but he's dropped down the weights and returned from a break with a fair fourth at Southwell (5f, AW) last Tuesday; could be involved. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two Catterick wins on good to soft ground as a 2yo; now 9lb lower than for the second of them but that is a result of a quiet campaign this year; down in grade after an 80-day break and a revival may be predicted by the market. |
14/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
20th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice on good to soft at Catterick as a juvenile (5f, 6f); rather disappointing in cheekpieces or blinkers this season (beaten 10l when last at Pontefract last time); headgear switched here but plenty to prove. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins on Tapeta elsewhere but has run only twice on this track; had a slow time of it in 2024 but he's well treated now and emerged from a break with a good run at Newcastle (5f; in refitted blinkers) last week; return to 6f will suit; every chance. |
7/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |

Won a 6f handicap here in November 2023, recording an RPR of 66 in the process; little to celebrate on turf last year but he has gone well fresh in the past and any market confidence would look significant with blinkers given another airing. |
