2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m2f; hasn't figured at Redcar or Ayr since returning to turf last month; best watched. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Two wins this season and close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month; latest run was also on heavy when below form at Ayr (off his highest mark for a long time) but he's one to consider. |
11/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month and won comfortably at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) next time; only fourth of seven when unpenalised back at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last Monday and a new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in, but he's not ruled out in view of his penultimate form. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done his winning in Class 6; however, he's ahead of the assessor, having escaped a penalty for last week's comfortable success in apprentice event over C&D (good to soft); strong chance off the same mark. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times last year (all 1m), including when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth on first start for Michael Wigham; mixed fortunes lately and has work to do with Coloane from Pontefract in July, so it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, who's generally struggled this time; is among the lowest rated and could have done with some rain ideally. |

In good form here (1m6f/1m4f) the last twice, beating Bond Spirit in clearcut style then close second to Endofastorm; gets 5lb pull with the latter; fighting chance. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Course winner in 2022 who last won at Pontefract (also 1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; 50-1 when beaten 10l on his comeback in a Wolverhampton classified (1m4f, AW) in January; others look safer. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Catterick handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in July but he finished down the field in his final three runs during the summer; has won when fresh in the past but his last success was 19 months ago and this veteran is 1-14 on AW. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on his wins at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) last year; second of seven from 5lb out of the weights at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) last month, but modest otherwise this year; not quite sure what to expect. |

10st 6lb |
Rarely seen over hurdles away from Market Rasen, his last win coming there (2m3f, good) from well out of the handicap in September last year; unexposed over this far, but his form has an uneven look to it; others stronger; stable also runs Fox's Socks. |
