27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |
7/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

9st 6lb |
0-6; some promise in a couple of turf maidens at around 1m in the summer, but modest in three starts in handicaps since; visor given a go this time and it will need to make a big difference. |

Yet to get involved in a finish (7f-1m1f) and didn't look to have any excuses in a weak fillies' handicap last month; blinkers go on. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Form figures 22362222 since justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Class 6) last November; 1lb higher than when runner-up over C&D (6-1, slowly away) 15 days ago; form dipped at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
