4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
12st 5lb |
Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has made the frame in two races at Wetherby (2m) since switched to this code; opening hurdles mark is very attractive judged on best Flat form; possibilities. |
100/30 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
3lb lower than when winning at York (1m2f, soft) a year ago and very likely to have his optimum conditions, but a leap of faith is required following two poor efforts since returning from 308 days off last month. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

3rd 2 (4) |
9th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Comes alive at Pontefract and was gaining his fifth course win from seven goes when gamely scoring over 1m4f in June; not disgraced at Haydock last time; stays 2m and will probably see out this slightly longer distance; seems equally effective on good to firm and good to soft; solid contender. |
100/30 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took Pontefract record to 5-7 (4-6 over 1m4f) ten days ago, as with the other wins gained on quicker ground than awaits here; penalty which obliges him to race off his highest ever mark is more of a concern. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Soundly beaten on final three starts last season and same story on reappearance in April; however, she might have needed that latest outing and she won this last year; shouldn't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (10) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m4f) in June when returning from a 227-day break and beaten less than 3l when fourth to Sea Master there (1m5f, also good) next time; not in the same form subsequently but might do better back from her winter break. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Stayed well on the Flat when with Ed Bethell, though plied his trade at an ordinary level; ended up tailed off on hurdling debut at Fakenham and he looks up against it. |

12th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Fair Flat handicapper for Ed Bethell, winning over 1m6f at Catterick in August when blinkered for the first time; no headgear and may eventually need further but an interesting newcomer. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won off a 6lb higher mark over this far at Thirsk last summer (good to firm); muddling pace was no help when fourth of the five runners on return to Flat action at Haydock (1m3f, good; after a wind op) but she didn't run badly; hard to dismiss. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
4th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
5lb lower than for her sole success at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a year ago; back on the Flat after two modest efforts over hurdles and has undergone wind surgery, but she wasn't showing much when last seen on the level. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
16/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground hat-trick over this trip last August; also runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) in the autumn but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago. |
