1st 2 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won two of his first four starts before missing the second half of last season; made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace this April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) on latest outing; tongue tied first time in the latter; 5lb rise sees claimer Mason Paetel recruited; leading player. |

2nd 3 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of his first four starts, including at this track on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); both runs this season have been respectable and he could take a step forward with a tongue-tie added. |
7/2 |

5th 3 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 2-4 when making all on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) last June; then absent until Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago, when he failed to settle and finished strongly for 3l sixth of 14 having had to be switched around several runners in the straight; drops back in trip today but this lightly raced 5yo could be quite a bit better than his current mark. |

0-11; lots of fair form, including at this venue, but her willingness to come home in front is questionable; hood removed for the first time since her debut. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

9st 2lb |
Cost 280,000euros as a yearling; there were 99 days between her first two races and now returns from a similar absence, but she chased home a good horse of Godolphin's at Kempton last time and there's nothing of that one's calibre here. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since. |

4th 5 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted. |

11th 1 (9) |

5yo who emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields at Doncaster (1m4f) in her two handicaps; showed ability at this track earlier and career began only last September, so better could still be forthcoming; this is 4f further, however. |

9st 3lb |
All three wins at 2m, the latest coming here last month on good to firm (Class 4); this is a different ball game altogether and he'd be receiving lumps of weight off most of these in a handicap. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run on his handicap debut last January but struggled since, including both runs for new trainer this year; dropped 7lb for his troubles but not easily recommended. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; best run from his seven starts came when second of 11 to The Bay Warrior over C&D last January; struggled since but he is now 6lb lower and last month's stable debut/return from ten-month absence should have sharpened him up. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (3) |
13th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Much better on his handicap debut, upped from 1m to 1m3f, early in the year but was said to have stopped quickly when a beaten-favourite next time; that leaves him something to prove. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Looked unlucky here in April, when getting well behind after a slow start over 1m, and his yard's in better form now than then; that's not the first time he's fluffed his lines at the stalls, though, and he can pull hard, so he comes with risks attached. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Only 1-11 over hurdles and the win came in a maiden; however, this mark shouldn't be beyond her and she was quite free after a break when beaten 13l into third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); has form here. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in C&D maiden (good) in October; disappointing in handicap at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has had a break since and is not written off back here. |
