7th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran out an easy winner in a small-field soft-ground handicap at Pontefract last spring but the handicapper took umbrage and she's found it tough going since; may have needed January's return to action but she still carries risk despite her much-reduced mark. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who is without a win on turf since June 2021; it's possible he doesn't want soft/heavy ground nowadays; however, having dropped down the weights he's run well to make the frame on grass the last twice and might not be far away if handling conditions. |

4th 7 (1) |
7th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who is usually ridden by Mia Nicholls, whose brother Jack now takes over; ran encouragingly at Ripon (5f, good) most recently but it's three years since his last win on turf; others preferred. |

3rd 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who has been beaten on his last 11 starts; however, he was in fair form on AW this spring prior to Chelmsford a fortnight ago, when suffering interference at the start, and he's an each-way possible off a reduced mark. |

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

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. |

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. |

Winless since last spring and he arrives below par too, tried in blinkers when seventh at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Ger Lyons; winner of a four-runner maiden on Dundalk AW in 2021; rather disappointing for present stable recently but is now well handicapped; blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to bounce back. |

Course winner (5f; August 2021); now rated 21lb lower than when last successful at Carlisle the following summer; it is difficult to be enthused though by his latest effort at Nottingham (5f, soft; ninth of 11, beaten 8l); others preferred. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pretty consistent last spring-autumn but doesn't win very often and made a low-key reappearance over C&D last month; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |
10/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Remains generally consistent but is moderate these days and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh; this a bit tougher than he's used to on his return from a layoff. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Losing run is mounting up but he has a few pieces of encouraging recent C&D form; creditable third to State Of Madness, despite traffic issues, last week; in the mix. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Had a blip at Thirsk last month but generally reliable and was back on song with a creditable fourth of 12 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last time; this return to soft ground is no problem and his last run at 7f resulted in a strong-finishing second on Tapeta three runs back; shortlisted. |

Both wins have been over 6f on the AW; has some fair form on turf; good second on first try at this trip at Newcastle last time despite a tardy start (Kats Bob third, Kalganov fifth); a possible. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |
16/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Trip and track no issue and he arrives on the back of a hard-fought win at Redcar two weeks ago (6f, good); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

Five-time C&D winner but the last was in March 2023; mark has bottomed out but he will need to better his two C&D runs this autumn to win. |

Multiple C&D winner but the last of them was back in March 2023; sent off favourite for a 0-55 here on his return from a break last month and ran creditably; dangerous off a lowly mark. |
