31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; three wins at Catterick in 2022 but she hasn't added to them since; recorded an RPR of 79 on her seasonal return when rated 14lb higher; although she's gone backwards since, she had a wind op last month and wasn't seen to best effect at Catterick 19 days ago; not discounted dropping into a 0-60. |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three C&D wins to her name from six runs; the return here should help, back from wind surgery, and while Birkenhead looks her yard's best chance a revival wouldn't surprise off a career-low mark. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

7th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran out an easy winner in a small-field soft-ground handicap at Pontefract last spring but the handicapper took umbrage and she's found it tough going since; may have needed January's return to action but she still carries risk despite her much-reduced mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All six wins over 5f; also second over 5f here (good) in August of 2024 but hasn't been seen since a poor run at Beverley later that month; previously trained by his owner; can only really watch after such a long time off. |
25/1 |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; this reliable C&D winner ought to be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but retains plenty of ability; second at Thirsk on three occasions, two this year; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Made it two wins in last three starts when seeing off seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Thursday; a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid in her current mood. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for the year with a determined effort in a Class 6 at Doncaster last month (5f, good to firm); not in the same form at Ayr 16 days ago but this C&D winner could rebound with a big run. |
