Hasn't won since 2023 but went close when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) last month; first run in a classified and should go close. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy. |
11/4 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (8) |
20th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came over 6f on good ground last June; mostly consistent since, including in his autumn/winter campaign on AW, but he missed the break and was never involved in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return to turf 19 days ago. |

Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |

7th 3 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won four handicaps here (1m-1m2f, good or slower) in the second half of 2025; yet to fire this time around and may need both slower ground and further help from the handicapper. |
25/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 when completing a hat-trick over C&D (third C&D success) in October but he's yet to fire this summer, soon ridden when only seventh of ten over C&D 16 days ago; has something to prove now. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoyed a revival in second half of last season, winning four times here (1m-1m2f, good-heavy); well down the field on last month's reappearance outing, though, and remains on a tough mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been ridden by Rebecca Hitchen since joining current yard, posting form figures of 31216; hindered by wide trip in AW contest on reappearance most recently; could go well with that outing under his belt. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins for Rebecca Hitchen last summer; fine on Tapeta but returns from ten months off looking high enough in the weights and he's entitled to need the run at his age. |
12/1 |
|
2 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |

29th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win was a novice race last April before he went handicapping; reappearance was the only time he's come close to making the most of his fall in the weights but that was four starts ago and over 7f on AW. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March was still a big shock; may have needed his comeback run over 5f here ten days ago but he finished last of seven and needs to leave that form a long way behind. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (8) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event here (6f) in March was still a big shock; the drop back in trip may have helped, but he's been on the sidelines since that last run and this is tougher back in a handicap on his return. |

9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner for David O'Meara and twice ran with credit at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) a year ago, but five efforts on turf for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched for now. |
33/1 |

11th 6 (10) |
