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 |

9th 10 (9) |
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 |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
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. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner, from 7.5f to 1m4f, at Beverley; however, latest effort (here) doesn't suggest his old legs are crying out for this 3.5f drop back in trip. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Veteran who is 6-23 at Beverley, the most recent success last August in last 1m4f attempt; could go well returned to this scenario with Catterick reappearance (7f) under his belt. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here. |

Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |

2nd 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

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. |
