16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins for Craig Lidster and he's run well here before but it's been a struggle for this yard and he can't be recommended at present. |

7th 8 (5) |
16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to improve on his 2025 efforts; however, won this race (off 4lb higher) last year and has a good chance if back to that form. |
20/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Back to form when second over C&D nine days ago on his first run for 11 weeks; likely he'll need more in this field but he was rated much higher when starting out for this yard last spring. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made an encouraging return to the AW when beaten 2l into fifth of 12 here (6f) in November, but would like to have seen more from him at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 11 days later; losing run up to 19 and others preferred. |

Thrown in on his best form but unplaced all five starts this season, behind Golden Rainbow at Thirsk on latest; needs a revival. |

24th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

In decent nick without winning until turning in a poor ninth at Ripon (5f) only five days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces; now with a bit to prove from 1lb out of the handicap. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
12-race maiden; hasn't offered much in three starts (6f-1m2f) since joining this trainer; reverts to the AW - poor Dundalk form for previous trainer - from just outside of the handicap proper; swiftly dismissed. |
20/1 |
|
9th 14 (6) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor ex-Irish maiden (6f-1m) who's coming down in trip again having made her debut for this yard over 1m2f last month; fared slightly better on tough terms last week but others are stronger. |

7th 4 (1) |
30th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Poor ex-Irish maiden who came in a well-held ninth after ten months off on her yard debut at Nottingham (1m2f) 15 days ago; she needs to take a big step forward. |

6th 2 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent this year and not at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, before those he won over this C&D and perhaps the return to this track will be a positive; in the mix if so. |

Has the ability to win off this mark and she's coming here in good order; does need everything to fall just right though and her strike-rate tempers enthusiasm. |
7/1 |
|
8 (3) |
23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest 2-26 strike-rate and beaten on her last 12 outings, but she's been a good fourth on her last two starts (5f/6f, heavy/soft) and seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Veteran who has won over C&D in the past but his last success was 15 months ago; has had some traffic issues a couple of times this summer but he's not finished closer than ninth this season and is easy to have reservations; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |

His four wins have all come on Tapeta and he's run poorly in two starts back this summer (said to have never travelled when tailed off latterly); One For The Ladies looks his yard's best chance. |
