11th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Improved to win at Thirsk last time (fourth won next time) but raised 7lb and has to show that form can be reproduced on a soft surface. |

made virtually all, going best halfway, pushed along over 1f out, ridden out inside final furlong, always doing enough |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Kept on for clear third at Beverley (5f, good) last month on second start, behind newcomer/runner-up Big Mojo who won the Group 3 Molecomb next time; pulled hard when below par at Ayr (5f, good) next time and could settle better now in a big field for his nursery debut; a possible. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 5f nursery at Beverley off 2lb higher last August; only two echoes of that form this season, one on latest start but others are preferred. |
16/1 |
|
11 (12) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 5f nursery at Beverley off this mark last August; struggled so far this year but her yard's among the winners and she did make an eyecatching debut over C&D (her only start here) last March; wouldn't be the biggest shock if she ran better today. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
In good form on the AW early this year, winning over 5f at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but she was well held behind Castan back at Southwell last time and could be vulnerable off her current mark. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form since switched to the AW this winter, going in over C&D in February before following up in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; up another 2lb but not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form filly who opened her AW account in Southwell event (5f) last time and remains much less exposed in this sphere than on turf; may build on that success; respected back up just 2lb. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't really progressed but she was beaten only 2l when fourth in Thirsk nursery (5f, good to firm) this month, and she won a Beverley maiden on good to soft ground; might not be far away. |
7/1 |

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose run of steadily progressive efforts came to a halt on nursery debut when upped to 6f; drop back to this trip should suit but vulnerable under a penalty. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a sliding mark when easily winning an ordinary Nottingham handicap from the front five weeks ago; drawn to attack again and fine on Tapeta but an 8lb rise will test him into a deeper race. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mainly over 5f, most recently 2l fourth at Nottingham last weekend; remains well treated, having gained both handicap wins off higher marks, and has two pieces of 6f form this year; shortlisted. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his 2025 best and he hasn't always enjoyed much luck on AW this winter; creditable third of nine at Southwell (6f) back from a short break 23 days ago; Mick Appleby has won this twice in recent years. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't always look the easiest of rides but recent efforts respectable (fifth of 17 at Thirsk latest) and he's been successful on the last two occasions he's dropped into a 0-70; considered. |
11/2 |
|
5th 15 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Doesn't always look the easiest of rides and he reared at the start and was slowly away prior to finishing fourth of six at Bath last Thursday; failed to beat a rival the time before; others look safer. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Can front-run, as when running away with a Beverley handicap last summer off 6lb lower (5f, good to firm); promising reappearance at Southwell last month but he failed to build on it at Beverley 11 days ago; could bounce back. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
20-race maiden; quiet this winter (had a wind op in November) and although last season's turf best gives her claims, she has too much to prove for comfort; cheekpieces now tried. |
16/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-19; recent efforts have seen a few backward steps, including when last of eight here (7f) latest; hood discarded in favour of first-time tongue-tie and visor, which need to have positive effect. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 (3) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed several times but still a maiden and has weak claims on her handicap form since returned to AW; however, this drop to 0-50 classified level may have positive effect. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Shaped well when second at Hamilton on debut (5f, soft) but hasn't progressed and was well beaten on nursery debut at York last time (6f, good to soft); this is easier but has a bit to prove. |
14/1 |
|
8 (8) |
7th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ability at a modest level on first three starts but no show from high draw on nursery debut at York last time; down 3lb and back in trip but needs to raise game to win. |
10/1 |
|
12th 8 (14) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Kept on for encouraging second of five on debut at Hamilton (5f, soft) in May; unable to build on that the next twice (6f/5f, good/AW) but could be on a handy opening mark if rediscovering his initial promise. |
