16th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year. |

1st 12 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Completed a hat-trick (1m2f/1m, heavy-good to firm) at Thirsk in May and returned to form when runner-up at Nottingham (1m, good) on October 1; well beaten at York (1m2f, good to soft) last Saturday but ran well for a long way and he's not discounted back down to 1m. |
11/1 |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Compelted a hat-trick at Thirsk (1m, good) in May and he's of interest on that form, but two lesser performances have followed at York and he needs to get back on track. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a promising start at Haydock (1m, good) last September; has been unable to back that up but showed more positive signs again at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) latest; more is needed from her. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
25th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Close third on debut at Haydock (1m, good) last September; below that level on her three runs since and something to prove on handicap debut, but she could be on a handy mark if tapping back into that initial promise. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
24th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
350,000gns yearling; promising when third of six on her Haydock debut (1m, good) last September, but didn't build on it in two subsequent starts including on this month's reappearance at the same track (7f, good); needs a resurgence. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
2-41 with last win at Lingfield (7f) last December off 1lb higher; has shown bits of form since and is down to a career-low mark so cannot be left out of calculations. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Not beaten far in a turf handicap here last month and he wasn't beaten far as favourite over C&D ten days later; Billy Loughnane booked; drawn wide but not discounted. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
12th 13 (9) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |
11/1 |
