12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Sole hurdles win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; from 8lb higher) in October 2024; consistent this year, without necessarily looking ready to win again; third to better-fancied stablemate Cosmic Soul at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) nine weeks ago. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

Catterick winner off 1lb lower in May (2m, good) but rather disappointing since; others in better form |
7/1 |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Six of his nine wins have come at Market Rasen including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his win at Wetherby in March but he's been vulnerable in three runs since and needs to rediscover his spark. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Admirable Market Rasen specialist (six wins there); won over 3m at Wetherby (good; from 2lb lower) in March, but hasn't been at his best since; uncharacteristically laboured (never travelling) when remote third latest; bit to prove. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |

Won three staying handicaps for Stan Moore and threatened on occasions for Charlie Fellows; faring less well for current yard and now back from another break. |
