27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start. |
50/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won comfortably off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but largely disappointing since; safely held when third in first-time visor over C&D one week ago and needs to find extra today. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Began season with emphatic handicap win at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but not much has gone to plan for him since and he was well beaten when returned to Pontefract in August; in calmer waters here but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |
16/1 |

1 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |
13/2 |

1 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

1st Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who won by 4l in a Wolverhampton claimer (7f, Tapeta) in January and has run respectably back in two handicaps (1m/7f) this spring; looks the pick of the weights now back in a claimer and his last success was under Billy Loughnane; big player. |
2/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
27th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time Dundalk winner who's weighted to his best but ran better than his final position back from a break last time (drawn wide over 1m and pulled hard in a race not run to suit); is one to consider back down in trip. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
1st Apr 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Reeled off a 7f hat-trick at Dundalk for Gordon Elliott last winter; slow start for new yard but he ran out the easy winner of a 7f claimer at Wolverhampton in January; no certainty to back that up in a much stronger race. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Had been off for almost a year when making a successful stable debut in an amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he looks the best alternative to Typical Woman. |
5/1 |
|
5 (1) |
7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner who is one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on stable debut; however, he struggled on his last few starts last season and was sold for 1,000gns last September; plenty to prove on return. |

Runner-up over 1m (soft) last October in one of his two starts at this track; not in top form this season (co-favourite last time) but the handicapper is giving him every chance; wore cheekpieces last two outings. |

Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Placed twice over 1m since joining Gemma Tutty in the spring and probably wasn't suited by the drop to 7f when sixth in Class 4 handicap on latest outing; eased significantly in grade for this first venture beyond 1m and ought to pose a significant threat. |
