29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner, including twice on the AW in UK; held in this grade at Windsor last time but can do better back to this surface. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 4-9; posted his best RPR by some way when coming clear in a 1m2f AW handicap in June before reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when favourite for York's John Smith's Cup (also raced freely); the potential is there to make a mark at Listed level. |
10/1 |

17th 4 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up on final two starts last season (1m2f/1m3f, good/AW) and improved form when readily winning six-runner Class 3 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; unraced on slow ground; this is much tougher but this lightly raced 4yo is ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; one to consider. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race. |
7/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-17 on turf; second and third over C&D in the spring off slightly higher marks than this, before lesser efforts elsewhere on last two outings; well treated if back on song. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-16 on turf; twice placed at Pontefract this season but he needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Ripon (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won for more than two years, but sound effort when length second over C&D in May (good to firm); each-way chance. |
8/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
No win since June 2024 off 15lb higher and he's never made much of an impact in his five AW races; he's still shown more than enough on turf this season to be considered, however. |

19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Not seen since a heavy defeat at Meydan in January but his latest British run was a dominant win from the front on Polytrack at Kempton (1m3f) in October, and he still has fairly low mileage. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All wins over 7f, but he did run well over C&D in June 2023 and was staying on at the finish at Haydock (7f, good) last month; significant rainfall would aid his claims. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |
14/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who enjoyed a purple patch last September, winning back-to-back Carlisle handicaps and coming up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; returns from 170 days off on a tough enough mark and others make more appeal. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Formerly smart on the Flat (fourth in 2022 Derby) but was knocking about in low-grade handicaps last year; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in May but shaped with much more promise when third over C&D (albeit well held in the end) later that month, and might collect another minor prize today. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Low-grade Flat performer who joined this yard for £5,000; 25-1 and tailed off in a good-ground maiden at Hexham. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a long losing run on the Flat but he ran creditably when last seen, finishing second at Redcar (1m2f, good; final outing for Tim Easterby) in October; changed hands for £5,000 soon after; going hurdling rather late but not without hope. |
