7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Not the most consistent but has won seven times, including when getting the race in the stewards' room in an amateur riders' event over C&D in November; twice held at Wolverhampton since and may just need this after three months off. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |
8/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Bagged a fifth C&D victory in November and in good nick subsequently, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 11 back over C&D 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

Runner-up twice over this trip on Tapeta in spring but returned from break with disappointing run on that surface a fortnight ago and her only previous turf win was gained off a basement mark; others preferred. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty. |
3/1 |
|
4 (5) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 2-39 but has made the frame on all five starts this year and should not be far away. |
8/1 |

2 (14) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has modest 2-38 strike-rate but comes here after two pretty good efforts (1m2f/1m) and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; might be the answer. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Perfectly consistent whatever the distance and surface type but 0-15 overall, and no obvious excuses behind both Prince Achille and Jamih when about 3l sixth in a C&D 0-55 last week; minor honours again at best. |
10/1 |

6th 12 (12) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on for modest second behind Lechro in recent selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f, good to soft) and has now made the frame on her last three appearances, but others appeal more all the same. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
1st Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ran one of her better races when third of nine at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last time; first and fourth have won since, but she is now 0-13 and is still to prove her stamina over this far. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Ran respectably at this track on sole AW appearance this term; however, far from consistent otherwise in recent times and losing spell goes back over three years; unappealing. |

9th 12 (2) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

8yo who has been beaten on her last 44 starts going back to June 2020, and she hasn't been shaping as though a win is imminent. |

30-race maiden; flattered by her third-place finish at Hamilton (1m3f) in August; work to with Violeta, Carlton and Wheres The Crumpet on recent C&D evidence. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

0-23; on the premises on a few occasions but not often enough to prompt any confidence in her chance; 1m4f third in first-time cheekpieces seven starts back and switches to first-time hood for this reappearance. |

31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

0-22; has run the odd creditable race as when third of 13 at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in June, but not matched that form since and the drop in trip made little difference over C&D this month. |

Placed over C&D (soft) for Tracy Waggott in November and started off for new stable with two respectable 2m4f runs in March/April, but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and competes from 1lb out of the weights today. |

Usually runs at Newcastle and has never won elsewhere; inconsistent results in classified races this year; not beaten far at Southwell on penultimate but lacks solidity. |

Front-runner who does the vast majority of his racing here, winning three times (7f/1m) in the first half of 2024; needs to better his recent efforts to get heavily involved, though. |
