14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
50-1 winner over C&D off 11lb higher in February last year; back on a good mark but hasn't been in top form recently. |

7th 3 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
3-31 for Tim Easterby, including a Catterick win (5f, good) last August; second at Lingfield (6f, AW) on stable debut in December but not so good in her three runs since, so others have more pressing claims; some headgear (not used by current yard) returns. |

Ex-Tim Easterby; Catterick winner last August (5f, good) and good second at Lingfield on stable debut (6f) in December; last two runs have been a bit disappointing. |

8st 13lb |
Seen only four times this year, with best run his close second of six in modest race at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) two starts ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ran best race this year when second at Carlisle last time (7f, good to soft); could go well, but ideally suited by some give in the ground and perhaps better at 7f. |
15/2 |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Now 10lb lower than when winning over Haydock's 7f last July and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) latest; he has soft-ground form if going back far enough. |

9th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally struggled for this yard last year but he's become more realistically treated again now; last month's Newcastle reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but he has done his winning on AW and has something to prove on slow turf. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

Bolted up in an Ayr nursery last July (6f, good); made heavy weather of following up at Chelmsford one week later (5f) when the drop in trip didn't suit; good runs at York and Naas in September but off since a modest effort in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy last October; back in calmer waters and she looks the type her trainer will coax more out of this year. |

Three AW wins and 0-18 on turf after finishing second to Travis at Redcar; the winner comfortably had his measure but a 5lb pull could make it interesting. |

2nd 7 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come on AW and he is 0-17 on turf, though he has been placed in both visits here including when beaten just a short head over this trip last October; each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
5th 14 (16) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice in novice company as a 2yo; record of 0-10 in handicaps but he's dropped down the weights and didn't get much luck when fourth at Beverley (7.4f, soft) on recent stable debut; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
29th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Won twice in novice company as a 2yo; yet to win a handicap but he ran well at Chelmsford on Good Friday (7f, AW); less good at Musselburgh one month later; has since left Julie Camacho. |
14/1 |
|
14 (11) |
21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 in handicaps but has come down the weights and ran promisingly at Chelmsford (7f, AW) most recently, while shaping as if he's ready for a crack at this new trip; one to consider. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dead-heated over 1m here last year off this mark but a rollercoaster ride for his backers in the meantime; another fair effort when 2l away on the AW three weeks ago but he's never the percentage call. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Only 1lb higher than when dead-heating at Brighton (1m, good) in May but he's been up and down since and was last of nine at Brighton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he's not the percentage call; cheekpieces removed. |
12/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lost second to Headshot in closing stages of 1m2f classified race won by Celebrating Ethel here (good) last month but that was still a good effort and today's shorter trip probably suits him better; now only 1lb higher than when dead-heating over C&D in May and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces. |

9st 5lb |
All wins at 6f on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy, the last three in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in three runs (1m, AW/good to firm) for new yard this year and has a lot to prove |

All wins at 6f on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy, the last three in 2024; well below best on final starts for previous trainer and he's beaten a total of one rival in two AW runs (1m) for this one in 2026; has a lot to prove. |
