Won four times in Britain; weak form in Ireland last year; best watched on stable debut, and first run since last of 14 behind Sovereign Banter here in October. |

Won four times in Britain for Ed Bethell; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season; failed to land a blow at Newcastle three days ago; the jury is out at present. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning. |

18th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm) but she's been up and down since and was only seventh of ten at Hamilton last Tuesday; still 2lb higher than for her last success and she has some work to do. |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm); has often run well in defeat since but she wasn't at her best over C&D last month; a few others look stronger in this field. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to fire this season, beating only one in 5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; he needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

5 (3) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable. |
9/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |
4/1 |

4th 6 (4) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Won over 5f here (good) and at Pontefract (good to firm) in May; hasn't been in quite the same form recently; others stronger. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 (11) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Something of an exposed maiden, with record now 0-10; however, best handicap effort (third off 4lb higher) came over C&D; return to this scenario is the angle for optimism with her. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back on song when sixth of 14 in 1m handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago; hood is reached for now and she can't be discounted off a 2lb lower mark. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The odd promising run, including when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (6f, good to soft); below par dropped to 5f on Monday but each-way claims if back to her best. |

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 |
|
6 (6) |
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. |
