27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Has returned from a long absence to win three times on Tapeta this year, the latest coming over 7f at Newcastle this month; well held on turf at Thirsk prior to that but he did win on the grass in 2021. |

8st 12lb |
Below best at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in April and well beaten back on turf at Thirsk (7f) in May; however, prior to those he was progressive on Tapeta, with a C&D win in February, and he's a possible now back here. |

20th May 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Missed all of 2022 but it's done him no harm whatever, winning two of his first four AW starts, over 6f and 7f, before finding Lingfield's sharp 6f an inadequate test last month; return to turf no hardship, having won 5f maiden on grass as 2yo and is one to consider. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Comes here chasing a C&D hat-trick after two narrow wins last month; still feasibly weighted up 3lb and should be in the thick of the action. |

11th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two turf wins over 6f last year; stepped up on his Newcastle reappearance when readily seeing off eight rivals at Southwell in January; dropped away in the final furlong at Newcastle last month but this mark probably not beyond him judged on the Southwell win; one of three runners for Karl Burke. |

Created a favourable impression when easily winning a Catterick maiden and a Doncaster novice last summer (both 6f); got left behind in the final furlong on his seasonal/handicap debut at Newcastle four weeks ago but he may have needed that first run for six months; still needs a personal best to take this. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Narrowly landed big-field events at York and Goodwood last July, both for Warren Fentiman; ended the year quietly but he has had a wind op since last seen and is only 1lb higher than for the Goodwood win. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
July yielded big-field 5f wins at York and Goodwood but two runs since have been underwhelming; return to Class 4 company asks a less-demanding question of him and he has won four times on Newcastle's Tapeta; a revival is quite possible. |

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All six wins over 5f; also second over 5f here (good) in August of 2024 but hasn't been seen since a poor run at Beverley later that month; previously trained by his owner; can only really watch after such a long time off. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; this reliable C&D winner ought to be in the shake-up. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win this year but retains plenty of ability; second at Thirsk on three occasions, two this year; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
