18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by soft ground and 7f, and on a very good mark now (13lb lower than when winning at Catterick in September 2023); mainly out of form this season; probably best watched. |
12/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four 7f wins at Catterick in 2023 but he's been struggling since the spring and his much-reduced mark isn't helping him much at the moment; 0-11 on AW and has it to prove at present. |
7/1 |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago. |

Recent efforts not so hot, but he did win a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in July and is 7lb lower than when a close fourth of 12 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March; worth a second look. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f. |

5th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
She was having just her second attempt over this trip when winning a C&D handicap last month, poaching enough of a lead in the final furlong to hold off the fast-finishing second; she'll need more to defy a small weights rise in a better race but that's not out of the question given her 2022 best. |

1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |

Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
