5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins on turf have come at Catterick; returned from a break with a close fourth there (7f, good to firm) last month but she failed to back that up at Thirsk (eighth of nine) last time; has something to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by soft ground and 7f, and on a very good mark now (13lb lower than when winning at Catterick in September 2023); mainly out of form this season; probably best watched. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four 7f wins at Catterick in 2023 but he's been struggling since the spring and his much-reduced mark isn't helping him much at the moment; 0-11 on AW and has it to prove at present. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago. |

Losing run up to 26 and 0-11 on the AW, but he was placed in all three starts over C&D this time last year and is slightly lower in the weights now; could sneak into the frame. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number. |

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. |

8st 9lb |
A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |
11/2 |

6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

Made a successful stable debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March 2022, but 0-16 since and recent efforts don't suggest a return to winning form is imminent. |

Sole win came on Tapeta last year; two good thirds this term (Polytrack/turf); weak in the betting and failed to land a blow two runs back from a break recently, with 1m2f against him latest; may do better in reapplied headgear. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |
11/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Loves it here and he's fine from this trip up to 1m4f; placed over the extended 1m here in May before finding the ground too slow at Carlisle; a wide draw isn't ideal, though. |

9st 9lb |
Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely. |

Four of his seven wins have been here, three over 6f and the other at this trip; should come on for his run at Carlisle a week ago (6f, good) when returning from a 70-day break; can go well. |

Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass). |

0-25 but there have been encouraging signs for his new stable, finishing second twice at Wolverhampton (once for this rider) before a close fourth on Sunday; visor worn there replaced by the blinkers he wore for the earlier seconds; each-way shout again. |
