14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored three times at 1m in 2023 and he arrives in very good nick, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap nine days ago; he must enter calculations off the same mark from his inside berth. |

2nd 2 (10) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who is 0-7 this year; however, he's run some good races and won three times in 2023; each-way contender off a reduced mark. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won twice over 1m at Newcastle for Iain Jardine over the winter; down the field at Lingfield on his stable debut three weeks ago; up in trip and usual tongue-tie absent; cheekpieces the headgear of choice. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
In excellent form for Iain Jardine this winter, signing off with 1m Newcastle win in February; more is needed for his new yard off a 4lb higher mark. |

21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won well off a similar mark over C&D (good to soft) last April; inconsistent since but the return to this scenario and drop back to 0-70 level may have positive effect; respected. |

Near miss over C&D in December off 1lb higher; well beaten twice since, although he had an excuse last time having gone off too fast in a 1m2f amateur event here 11 days ago; can do better today. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |
6/5 |

1st 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
2.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again. |
9/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away. |
15/8 |
