21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
7f specialist who made all at Doncaster (good to firm) in August and ran just as well when second at Thirsk three weeks later; edging up the weights but again likely to be thereabouts. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence. |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |
8/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

Sole win was at Redcar in June 2023 (7f, good); beaten a nose in same Redcar handicap this year and went down by a short head in a C&D fillies' handicap last time; each-way contender. |

2nd 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 13 starts but that came over C&D (good) last June and she's finished placed in two of her three runs this season; on same mark as for her staying-on third at Doncaster (6f, good) last time and she's respected back up in trip. |

Won twice in the space of five days last August, the second win coming over C&D off today's mark; ran some fair races on AW over the winter; place claims back from four months off. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won twice in five days on turf last August (both 1m1f, good) and although he is 0-13 on AW, he's fully effective at this track; each-way claims. |
12/1 |

4 (3) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Winless in his first 25 starts, but in good form since the blinkers went on in June (4321133); both wins came over 1m1f on turf in August, but he finished well for a creditable third over C&D last time; interesting contender on this drop back in grade. |

Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

6 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

Three-time AW winner; only 1-17 on turf but gained the success off current mark at Ayr (6f, good) in August; good chance provided she returns to that form. |

9st 5lb |
Scored at Doncaster (7f) in August and has returned from a ten-week break in good nick, not enjoying the rub of the green when sixth of nine over C&D 39 days ago; he can make his presence felt. |
20/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Just held on to score at Doncaster (7f) in August and did well to finish second at Chelmsford (7f, AW) since, considering he was slowly away; missed the break again when never dangerous at Redcar latest and he does come with risks. |
12/1 |

Just held on to score at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and did well to finish second at Chelmsford (7f, AW) since, considering he was slowly away; tendency to blow the start is a concern and he's unproven on ground slower than good. |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |
