1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with a couple of soft-ground wins, including edging out Peace Man in this; back to near best when fourth off top weight in warm Glorious Goodwood handicap (good) and not disgraced when fifth in Longchamp Group 3 and Goodwood Listed event since; one of two solid contenders for connections. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten a head in this race last year and fourth of 22 here in the Ebor in August; began 2026 with another solid effort, when second at Ripon; not a prolific winner with his waiting tactics but big each-way chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Smart handicapper who won at Haydock (1m4f, good) off 4lb lower last May and recorded several good efforts in defeat later in 2025; has gone well fresh before. |
9/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

Likeable hold-up performer who has run crackers in top handicaps over 1m6f on last two starts, fourth of 22 in the Ebor at York (good to firm) before third of 14 to The Reverend (Dramatic Star second) in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock (good); all ground seems to come alike; each-way claims again. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has run well in defeat more often than not in handicaps, finishing third of 14 over C&D (heavy) in October when last seen; however, he may need testing ground to be a serious force at this trip, having run well at up to 1m4f here in the past; wears first-time tongue-tie/blinkers. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; given a break after a poor run over 1m4f at Epsom on Derby day and coped well with the drop back to 1m1f when third at Yarmouth (soft) on return last month, keeping on after not clear run; travelled on that occasion as if this even shorter trip may help if anything; considered. |
9/2 |
|
2 (3) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; ran to a good level in his first three handicaps but then suffered a heavy 90l defeat when prominent in the market for the Northern Dancer handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good) on Derby day; absent since, while the experiment with cheekpieces is swiftly abandoned; could bounce back. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
11yo who has won just once since 2021 but that came at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) this June; has run well several times this year, including when fourth of 13 at York (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago, and might not be far away. |
20/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
11yo now but he's had a few bright moments this season, including second of eight to Kihavah at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; his sixth of 20 in the John Smith's Cup over C&D in July shows he's still effective over shorter trips. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who is on a career-high mark but he looked better than ever when winning by just over 2l at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; close third in this last year (good to firm) and could again be thereabouts. |
10/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Redcar (1m2f, good) last November and not beaten far when fifth of 12 at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last month; could show the benefit of that latest outing today and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Below form in this race last year but C&D second in October was one of his mostly creditable efforts afterwards; competitive if he returns on song, as he did in 2023 and 2024; stable also runs Castle Stuart. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Sandown (1m, soft) last May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to firm) in August; made a satisfactory reappearance when seventh at 40-1 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) five weeks ago and is probably effective at this track, so he's one to consider. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below best on first and final starts last season but enjoyed a good campaign, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) in May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to soft) in August; should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip and he's an each-way contender if fully tuned up for his return. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Short-headed on 2024 reappearance and won it last year; thrived last season when winning three races and not far away in the other three, including at this track; highly respected for that campaign, and first-time-out record, but the handicapper reacted and he now needs to resume improvement. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who has thrived this season and made it two 1m4f wins in a row when powering ahead at Hamilton (good to firm) a fortnight ago; also effective here (and on soft ground) and has hinted he could be even better now tackling 1m6f for the first time; trainer won this in 2015 and 2017; player. |
15/2 |

2 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won on reappearance at Chester (1m2f, good) in May before being placed in two competitive handicaps, then back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; hit with 9lb rise for last time but this thriving 5yo had 5l to spare and could play a leading role once more. |

Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |

Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field in Dubai on his stable debut in December (1m1f, good to firm); can go well fresh so a 106-day absence no bad thing; hasn't run over 7f since his debut but he lurks on a dangerous mark and new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Four starts at 1m this term have yielded good seconds in competitive York handicaps but his two goes over C&D don't match them; that's enough to put him down the pecking order. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

Improved form after a gelding operation when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in March; respectable third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; enters calculations under Rodriguez. |

Gelded in November and improved form when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in his first two runs this season; finished last of six at Epsom last time but he got involved in some scrimmaging and is a big player if he can bounce back near best. |

C&D winner against her own sex under Joanna Mason early last month off a 2lb lower mark; continued in form since and this is less competitive, so she needs a look. |

Ended a 19-race losing run at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month, but couldn't get going in time when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 16 days later; appears to stay this far and holds each-way claims. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Mostly well below form in 2025 but came back down the weights and has often been competitive since October; indeed, Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 16 days ago saw her first win since a C&D race in summer 2024; it's possible that she is on her way back but this is a warmer contest. |
