25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Got up late to win a 7.5f handicap at Beverley in April (good to soft), his ninth start; last of six at Ayr one month later; stable have stronger claims elsewhere. |

8th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Showed improved form to win at Beverley on reappearance (7.5f, good to soft), staying on well to get up close home; this easier 7f may not be ideal. |

Looked in need of further when third at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November but has flattered to deceive since returned to 7f; needs to raise his game. |

9st 11lb |
Unexposed filly who ran a fine race when a front-running second of 12 at Beverley on her handicap debut last month (7.5f, good to soft; cheekpieces for the first time); up 3lb but still capable of better. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was winning for the fifth time when landing a 1m handicap at Southwell in December; not far short of that level in defeat on his next two starts; each-way shout if getting a good pace to aim at. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fairly useful for Darryll Holland, then form went markedly awry during a brief spell with Gay Kelleway; sold for 13,000gns since last run; market may prove instructive on debut for another new yard. |

19th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Showed promise in two AW races (6f-7f) but was entitled to run better the final time at Wolverhampton (6f); has a fair bit to prove off this mark switching to soft turf. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
4th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has shown clear promise in a couple of AW races, finishing third over 6f at Chelmsford then 2l fourth over 7f at Newcastle; beaten favourite last time but still ran creditably; major contender on the figures. |
5/2 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred. |
15/2 |
|
4 (4) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance. |
5/2 |
|
2 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on this surface but his sole win came over 1m3f at Carlisle in 2023 and mostly campaigned at that trip and further since; major query back at 1m for first time in the best part of three years. |
16/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only win was over 1m3f at Carlisle in July 2023 (good to soft); several decent placed efforts this season, and would have a chance on that form, but rather disappointing on last two starts. |
20/1 |
|
10th 14 (14) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in four of his last six starts including a close call over C&D (soft) in July; on same mark here but he didn't fire at Ayr last time and that took his record to 1-21; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

18th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Of interest on the pick of his 2yo form but he's been struggling this year; down to a good mark but he has stamina to prove and there are risks involved. |
16/1 |

10th 3 (2) |
29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Second of ten in a maiden over C&D last summer but has gone badly the wrong way since (gelded before penultimate outing); cheekpieces given a go but a major turnaround is required. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (1) |
22nd May 2023 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |

Not badly treated on a couple of her maiden efforts; however, down the field in two handicap attempts, latest at Beverley (7.5f) on seasonal debut; doesn't look a solid option. |

0-13 when trained by Nigel Tinkler; went close in turf handicap last summer but today's stable debut comes after a six-month absence and he's entitled to need this outing; hood added to cheekpieces. |

10th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First-time blinkers brought about improvement when runner-up on soft ground over C&D last time; she's previously finished tailed off behind Star Start at Beverley, however, and whether she repeats the effort is the question. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran respectably in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was behind Lincoln Rockstar in that race and she flopped back at that track (soft) on Tuesday; has something to prove again after that heavy defeat and others are preferred; blinkers added. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (10) |
18th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ran her best race in handicaps when sixth of ten over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); has shown promise on soft; needs more to win but her pedigree offers hope that it could be forthcoming at some stage. |

Promising fourth in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good to soft) on final 2yo start on sole run in blinkers; no headgear on reappearance at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) in April, when tailed off; cheekpieces return here but they didn't have a positive impact last July; his claims aren't compelling. |

12th 10 (8) |
19th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't really progress after a likeable debut here and the blinkers that helped in his second handicap (6f, good to soft) are left at home this time; goes over 7f for the first time and rather watch. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Began his career with two encouraging efforts at this track and also ran well on his handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) in May; absent since finishing well beaten at Haydock four months ago (badly hampered and eased); each-way claims if running near his best. |

10th 5 (5) |
25th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

3rd 6 (6) |
8th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Showed best form when third in a 7f Newcastle novice in January (pulled hard); not so good next time (1m) and is having first run on turf on handicap debut; bit to prove |
