2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
16/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground hat-trick over this trip last August; also runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) in the autumn but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago. |

7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
12-race maiden; runner-up at Wetherby (1m Class 6, good) in May, but there are precious few positives to take from his last two efforts (Newcastle and Catterick); cheekpieces are newly applied. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (1) |
8th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden; tailed off at Newcastle last time but has a chance on his two previous runs at Wetherby (1m, good) and Redcar (7f, good to firm). |
14/1 |
|
14th 9 (1) |
29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 under rules but has twice run well since returned to the Flat last month, going close at Wetherby (1m, good) and finishing fourth of 15 at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 13 days later; the first two last time won their next starts; still to prove himself on Tapeta but worth a second look. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 (7f and 1m); down to a handy mark again and his penultimate effort was a step back in the right direction; disappointed 12 days ago (slowly away) but a revival isn't out of the question. |

26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Not been in the best of form (13l-sixth here last week) since Pontefract win in June (1m2f, good to firm); has won on soft, but ideally suited by quicker ground; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual course winner, including C&D; acts on soft; has won three times over 1m2f this season but last two efforts suggest that the handicapper has his measure at present. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
7th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time C&D scorer but he arrives out of sorts, beating only one in classified event over C&D 40 days ago; he needs this change of headgear to spark a resurgence. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Won just once since getting up late in a C&D classified stakes (good to soft) in August 2023; not disgraced but hasn't done enough to suggest that his turn is forthcoming in four starts this year. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Track regular who won over C&D just over one year ago; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine behind Dumfries over C&D (also good to firm) on his June return but two lesser runs have followed; needs to turn the ship around; 1lb out of the weights. |
12/1 |
|
7 (1) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who won over C&D in 2023; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June but he failed to come on for that run when seventh of 11 over that same C&D 32 days ago. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Back to form to win at Catterick last time (7f, good to firm); just as effective on the AW (C&D winner last December); chance. |

|
1st 9 (3) |
24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer who hinted at a revival when seventh of 12 over C&D two weeks ago; he's very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |

A four-time course winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth of eight over 7f here 19 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more from an easing mark. |

4th 6 (4) |
6th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

10st 0lb |
Flat winner is 0-13 over hurdles; didn't run terribly at Down Royal in December off this mark; should be sharper for latest run at Wexford when made late gains from the back; could outrun likely odds. |
16/1 |

7th 14 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out. |
