Isn't the most consistent but knows how to win and shaped well after a break of over five months at Wolverhampton in March (form worked out); on a good mark and interesting. |

Lost his way in the second half of last year and doesn't boast a good record first time out down the seasons; stall 11 isn't ideal for a front-runnner either. |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Regularly leads; winning haul well into double figures but better at 5f than 6f and has weakened all three starts at this trip over the winter; best watched. |

27th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Regularly leads; multiple winner who is well treated with The Tron on 5f course form last May but, like that one, he has much more to prove over 6f, having found little in two C&D runs this winter. |

Conditions to suit and he should be well up to making an impact at this level; drawn wide, however, and others come here with less to prove. |

11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Four-time course scorer who is a stone below last winning mark; however, has weak claims on his bare form this winter. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Not as good this year and ran poorly on the AW last time; handles these conditions but she's always liked Catterick and would have preferred plenty of rain. |

10th 4 (9) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Began this season with two down-the-field runs but her handicap third at Ripon (5f, soft) last month was much better; rarely runs on the AW but was a C&D winner in 2022; high on the list. |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |
14/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form. |
12/1 |

10th 4 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner in the autumn but not at her best on her last four starts; slipping in the weights but others still make more appeal. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner in the autumn but her form has cooled since the turn of the year and she'll probably need a career-best performance to have any chance off her current mark. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five turf wins have been gained on galloping sprint courses, and he's netted a neck second (off 64) and a win in handicaps from two C&D starts; yet to pick up a classified in nine attempts, however, and not an unlucky loser in one at Southwell latest despite running short of room. |
3/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple 5f/6f winner; has made a promising start to life with Ben Haslam this season, set a lot to do when fourth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; drops back into classified company now and this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No longer the force of old but has performed well on all four starts since joining Ben Haslam in March, most recently when keeping-on third at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; big player if this race is run to suit usual come-from-behind tactics. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Veteran who ended a long losing run when making all at Beverley (5f, good) in May; did not repeat the form in his two subsequent outings, also under Shay Farmer, and does not seem the percentage call. |
16/1 |

9 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when making all on a rare turf outing at Beverley (5f, good) in May but he dropped out on his return visit on Monday; the soft ground may have dulled his powers but he's not easy to predict and others are more solid; change of headgear. |

Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |
