2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year but took a step back in the right direction when front-running fourth of 21 off this mark in the Lincoln at Doncaster five weeks ago on first run for new yard; no stamina worries but there is a concern about good to firm ground. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year for George Boughey, albeit he did finish third in the Listed Doncaster Mile over C&D (good to soft) on this card; now down to a mark 3lb lower than when runner-up in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) in July 2024 and his new trainer is a dab hand with topweights in big handicaps; goes well fresh and could have a big say. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Fresher than most, having raced just twice this term, runner-up on AW last time; attractively treated on peak form, which includes a success off 5lb higher in the 2024 Lincoln on soft ground. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
The most recent of his five wins came in the 2024 Lincoln on soft; left the impression his first start for 324 days was needed when sixth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but this C&D winner has been off again since. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on firm but best form on soft, as when winning the Lincoln (1m) in 2024; lightly raced with little return since but he was hampered on Newcastle AW last June; entitled to be rusty for new trainer on this first run since; missed a race earlier this month due to good to firm ground. |

Very opposable on the balance of his chase form, especially from 7lb out of the weights. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles but has very shaky record over fences in recent years; pulled up at Cartmel one month ago and now 0-13 in this sphere; 2lb wrong today; too risky. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles; 0-12 over fences and fell at his final attempt; others appeal more from 2lb out of the weights. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row at Redcar (1m1f/1m, good to firm) last month and completed hat-trick at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last Saturday; he's 6lb higher than last time and has never won over this far, but he's finished strongly for his recent wins and there's still plenty of mileage in his mark on old form. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins on good to firm ground at Redcar, the latest in an apprentice handicap over 1m under Conor Whiteley on Wednesday; can race off 1lb lower and shouldn't have an issue with stepping back up trip, while rain would also be no problem; major claims. |

Ended a two-year losing run when winning here over 1m1f on good to firm ten days ago, beating seven rivals; still well treated on his old form under a 4lb penalty and commands respect. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form. |
