14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 5-11 on turf and his last success was at this track (1m4f, good to firm) last June; good second at Newcastle (1m2f) in final run for George Boughey but he returned for new yard with a tailed-off effort at Kempton (1m3f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back near best; regular tongue-tie removed. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Regular winner in three campaigns with George Boughey, for whom he ended last June with a win at Pontefract (1m4f) and good second on Newcastle Tapeta (1m2f); unraced on Polytrack; hood joins his now usual tongue-tie and he'll be competitive for new yard (same owners) if starting this term where he left off last season. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Developed into a very useful handicapper for Ray Craggs in 2024, including a C&D win on good to firm; failed to scale the same heights for David Thompson in 2025 but has a reduced mark to work with now back under the care of his owner. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer and better than the result (met trouble) when fifth to Sir Busker in this 12 months ago; shaped as if retaining all his ability when sixth on C&D return in June and there have been excuses for two lesser runs since, with Thirsk fifth last time coming over a 7f trip which is likely a little on the short side for him nowadays; no shock were he to go well. |
25/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row on turf last May/June (1m/1m2f) for Ray Craggs (who still owns him) and fair sixth on stable/seasonal debut at York (1m2f) in June; might not have been over those exertions when well held over 1m on AW at Newcastle 13 days later; effective over 7f. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten a head in this race last year and fourth of 22 here in the Ebor in August; began 2026 with another solid effort, when second at Ripon; not a prolific winner with his waiting tactics but big each-way chance. |
6/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Smart handicapper who won at Haydock (1m4f, good) off 4lb lower last May and recorded several good efforts in defeat later in 2025; has gone well fresh before. |
9/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Likeable hold-up performer who has run crackers in top handicaps over 1m6f on last two starts, fourth of 22 in the Ebor at York (good to firm) before third of 14 to The Reverend (Dramatic Star second) in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock (good); all ground seems to come alike; each-way claims again. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 1-17 and hasn't been at her best this year, especially so last time at Leicester; however, she's never been lower in the weights and this is a drop in class; couldn't rule out. |
13/2 |

7th 8 (2) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has won just one of her 16 starts and hasn't been at her best this year; however, she hasn't run badly the last twice and continues to drop down the weights; this is a modest contest and she could be thereabouts. |
