12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race. |
9/2 |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Infrequent winner but he was third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon appearance; not found his best form in two runs this spring but he's on a dangerous mark and a change of headgear could help (has won in visor). |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Two C&D wins early in the year (from the front) and added a Hamilton handicap to his tally in July; solid effort over 7f here three weeks ago and returning to 6f should be beneficial. |

3rd 9 (2) |
20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Campaigned on turf since June, midfield in the Ayr Bronze Cup most recently; effective at Newcastle and has form over 7f but all wins remain at 6f; not the percentage call. |

8st 10lb
|
Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday. |

4th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 6f for Tim Easterby, including on the old Fibresand surface at Southwell; didn't show much on her stable debut over C&D last time (behind Ultramarine) and best to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |

18th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Mostly consistent on turf this year for Tim Easterby, sold for 5,500gns after finishing third of nine at Redcar four weeks ago; rarely seen on AW but did win at Southwell (Fibresand) earlier in career. |

String of good efforts in July and August, winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) and placed on five other occasions; not at his best at Pontefract 11 days ago though and he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Made it sixth-time lucky when landing C&D handicap (good) in June and placed in two of three runs since, including a rallying third at Ripon (6f) three weeks ago; has form on soft and interesting back at 7f. |

Off the mark with 7f win on seasonal debut at Redcar (good) in June, after a break, and placed off today's mark over that trip at Ayr (soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but, after only seven runs, he's not yet fully exposed. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Beaten favourite at Windsor recently (6f, good to firm), though had a tricky draw and endured a wide trip; all things considered, it was a solid run; won't mind rain, either. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-4 since returning from one-year absence for new stable in the autumn but her AW fourth in January was quite encouraging and she was unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target on last month's turf return; not ruled out. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Signed off for Charlie Fellowes with 5f nursery win at Catterick (good to soft) last September but hasn't shown a great deal for new stable this season (four runs) and is the one with by far the most to prove here. |
33/1 |

22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on his final start last season; has been quiet in his three runs this term but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wolverhampton (fifth of 11) 11 days ago; now 1lb lower than for his win and he looks interesting on this switch back to turf. |
