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. |

1st Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
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. |

9st 9lb |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
4lb higher than for his win in this race 12 months ago, after which he went on to score at Glorious Goodwood; fine return to action (after wind surgery) at Thirsk in May but no progress in two subsequent runs; Warren Fentiman back on board now dropping in class; high on the list. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won big-field 5f handicaps at York and Goodwood last July; two solid efforts in defeat this season and he won on his only visit to Epsom, albeit over 7f; not impossibly treated but he wouldn't want the ground to be any slower than good. |
16/1 |

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. |

6f winner on last turf attempt; had an excuse (irregular heartbeat) here last month when returned to AW but it remains to be seen whether he can bounce back from that heavy defeat. |

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. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track. |

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. |

9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |

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. |
25/1 |

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. |
