19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on hurdle debut in February 2022 and not seen in this sphere since, but she has developed into a fairly useful Flat stayer in the second half of this year; interesting. |

6th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
A three-time 2m winner in 2023 who recorded another solid effort when fourth of 14 to Duke Of Oxford over C&D 16 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

Can throw in the odd shocker but she's won three times in 2m handicaps this year, notably when coming from off the pace to score at York in September off 4lb lower; each-way claims on a good day. |

A two-time winner (around 2m) in 2025 but he's failed to beat a rival in a pair of 1m6f handicaps at Thirsk and Carlisle this summer; needs to take a major step forward. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner here (1m4f/2m, soft and heavy) although he was only fifth behind Gentle Warrior in this race last year; generally campaigned over further these days and a falling mark/return to soft ground did the trick when scoring with authority over 2m at Ripon (well backed) on Tuesday; 4lb penalty wouldn't have stopped him then and it might not now. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
5-46, but without a win since July 2024 (York); runner-up in added cheekpieces at Catterick (2m, good) in May; soundly beaten at Pontefract (2m1f; beaten 22l) three months ago; mark continues to ease; this stablemate of Bollin Neil has questions to answer. |

Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on. |

Consistent gelding who ran up to his best when third in a Class 2 handicap over this trip at Newton Abbot in August (2m5f); unlikely to be far away. |

Collected a good prize at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April and has made the frame on all fourth subsequent appearances; can cope if the ground softens here and will probably be on the premises again. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in May, after a break, and ran at least as well there three weeks later; pulled up at Newton Abbot in June but spreading a plate during the race might excuse that; considered. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip. |

29th Jul 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has done really well for his new yard this year, with wins at Wetherby (1m5f) and Redcar (1m6f) last month followed by a close second in his hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta); only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's open to more progress in staying handicaps; big player. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
19th Jul 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 5yo who made light of a 16-month absence when making a winning start for this stable in 1m5f Wetherby handicap in June; followed up when favourite at Redcar (1m6f; gamely from the front) 18 days later; up another 4lb, new trip and has a bit to prove on AW form but he's on a roll and highly respected. |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground. |
