1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two Flat wins at 1m3f/1m6f in 2023; missed most of 2024 and has needed two recent runs; open to improvement in his second handicap with Brian Hughes replacing a 10lb claimer; cheekpieces added latest, now discarded. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two-time Flat winner who has been an encouraging third on his two hurdle starts a year apart, the latest at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December; open to improvement in this code and is in with a chance on handicap hurdle debut; cheekpieces return (no positive impact on the Flat). |

9th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won twice here (including over C&D); three places behind Cosmic Soul when fifth of eight over C&D (good) last month; no improvement with blinkers reinstated (retained) at Nottingham 13 days ago; needs to show improvement. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Catterick regular who was fifth of eight runners there 16 days ago when behind Morandi Second; that race wasn't run to suit and his previous effort there was better; the return of blinkers is no bad thing. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy campaign this season and needs to raise his game, but he's dropped down the weights and last year's best efforts came in blinkers, which go back on this evening (replacing cheekpieces); not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win (12 races) and not the easiest of rides but he's been on the premises plenty of times at 1m6f-2m, including when cheekpieces were installed at this track (claimer ridden) and Nottingham on last two outings; good each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (11) |
6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to win and he isn't the easiest of rides but he's run some good races at 1m6f and improved for his reappearance when fourth at Redcar (good to firm; acts well on good) 14 days ago; not far away. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
C&D winner in January 2024 and several fair efforts after that; ran his best race since a 590-day break when a good fourth at Catterick last time; each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well treated on his 2024 exploits and, having returned from a long absence in February, it's possible he's working his way back into form; however, this 8yo is not easy to fancy on the evidence of this year's two runs. |
33/1 |
|
5th 10 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Pulled hard when finishing last in a 0-55 handicap over C&D recently, his first start in around 18 months; entitled to improve but is very hard to recommend. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time Southwell winner, latterly by a wide margin in an apprentice handicap in March (handicapper punished him for that); finished held twice since and his record round here is nothing like as good. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner and has won here six times, the latest (1m6f) in March; finished well behind a couple of these over C&D last time, though, so has a bit to find. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All six AW wins have come here (four of them under Elle-May Croot), the latest by more than 7l over 1m6f last month; has been hit with an 8lb rise, but could enjoy the run of the race if reverting to his usual front-running tactics. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
4yo maiden who looks well treated on bits of form; trailed home last of seven at Hamilton (1m3f) on stable/seasonal debut, however, and needs to leave that effort well behind. |
16/1 |
|
5 (6) |
19th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bought for 12,500gns out of Roger Fell's yard in October; showed some promise last term, notably when second in a Catterick novice in August (1m4f, good to soft); could go well on stable/seasonal debut. |
11/2 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; has performed respectably at 1m-1m4f a few times this season; lesser effort over 1m6f most recently; not progressing thus far but has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
