13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up from his debut when winning a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) in June, but held in all three starts since including two nurseries; didn't stay 7f last time, but even if this trip may suit him better he still needs to resume his progress; soft ground remains a question mark; stable runs four. |

12th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won his novice over 5f and hasn't improved for 6f the last twice, latterly finishing 5l off the principals on his nursery debut at York (good to soft); getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped and 7f is a grey area. |

27th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best run on turf was when runner-up to a useful sort in a 5f maiden here in July (soft; third has won since); off the mark in a Kempton maiden in February, but well below his best on handicap debut at Southwell earlier this month (5f; cheekpieces); headgear retained; up to 6f for the first time. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

10th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Ran poorly last time but his Hamilton sixth (6f, good) has worked out quite well and being gelded could help, as might cheekpieces; note the market on handicap debut. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
160,000euros yearling; made a respectable start to his career when fourth of seven at Ripon (5f, good to firm; 6-1) a fortnight ago; steps up in trip, which is likely to suit, and his trainer won this race twice in succession (2018 and 2019) in recent times. |

Made up late ground for fifth on her 5f Ripon debut but weakened to finish well held over 6f at Thirsk 13 days later; back at 5f for the third start. |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Good third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in July and now 5lb lower; however, she finished down the field on her final two runs for the Fell/Murray yard and it was the same story on her recent stable debut; now 0-17 and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers (replacing a hood). |
20/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-16 for her former stable but she has plenty of placed form, including over C&D; this represents a drop in class and her new yard (same owner) try her in a hood; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who is inconsistent and was below par at Redcar last week; however, she's popped up with a few good runs this year and perhaps this prominent-racer will be aided by the first-time cheekpieces and her low draw. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form. |

Promise on AW last winter; quiet on turf in the summer and returning to AW hasn't perked him up the last twice; stable also run So Grateful. |

Maiden who's been expensive to follow and who's regressed since undergoing wind surgery; better was expected on his first start since being gelded recently but he again disappointed. |
