5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |

Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer who is without a win in over four years; returned from an absence when 28-1 and beaten over 6l at Ripon (1m2f, good) last month; on a dangerous mark if back in better form. |
4/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner but it has been over four years since she last put her head in front; retained ability last summer but she has been absent for 366 days and others look safer. |
25/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; inconsistent this season and needs to bounce back quickly from down-the-field run at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on Thursday but this C&D suits him and he has slipped to a tempting mark; can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He's well handicapped on his season's best form but this 11yo needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts and he hasn't won beyond 1m since 2018. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Contesting this race for a sixth time and he won it back in 2020; well beaten last year but he's run some good races in defeat this campaign and a long time since this low in the weights. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D scorer; made an encouraging return with sixth at Catterick (7f) in May but beat one in 7f Redcar handicap since; needs to bounce back. |

10th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |
