Catterick winner off 1lb lower in May (2m, good) but rather disappointing since; others in better form |

9th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |
9/4 |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Won over hurdles in March but hasn't offered a great deal since, in that discipline and back on the Flat; has become hard to predict. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made all over hurdles at Catterick in March but pulled up at Hexham next time; bounced back to form returned to the Flat nine days ago, keeping on into fourth over this C&D; each-way chance. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Returns to the Flat after showing mixed form over hurdles; placed three times in seven visits here including over this trip, but others are more compelling. |

9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but his record for current stable features a useful win at Newmarket (2m2f) last September; creditable second (off 1lb lower) in this race last year; place possibilities. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Five-time Flat winner, last success in 2m handicap at Catterick in July 2022; pulled up on last three starts over hurdles having been off for 321 days (last time on first run back after a wind op); plenty to prove. |
50/1 |

10st 10lb |
Out of form on the Flat for Jaqueline Coward last year and pulled up in two recent handicap hurdles (2m4f/2m2f) for new stable; needs latest wind op (his third) to have made a huge difference. |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Very patchy under both codes and his best Flat efforts have come on Tapeta; probably didn't see out an extended 2m5f last time but doesn't make much appeal either way. |
10/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won good-ground juvenile hurdle last October and returned to form back on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) recently, finishing second; stamina to prove today but could be in the mix if seeing it out. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
6th Apr 2023 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Winning hurdler in October but disappointing since then under both codes; others preferred. |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-French mare who was again beaten a fair way at Pontefract last time when having Vintage Valley behind over 2m5.6f; is on a competitive mark now though. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fair fourth over 2m2f here (good to soft) last October and now 4lb lower; however, she was well beaten by the first two when third at Redcar (2m, soft) a fortnight ago when fit from hurdling; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
10th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-23 in France and 0-7 in Britain; hurdling hasn't worked out (refused to race on penultimate appearance, tailed off latest) and her one piece of solid handicap form last season is not enough to persuade. |
11/1 |
