2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |
40/1 |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

0-13 this year and has dropped to a mark in the 40s; best recent effort when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) on penultimate start; has the worst chance at the weights on current figures. |

Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |
20/1 |

12th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a similar race over C&D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner (2023); not far behind Barleybrown and Abu Royal here this month, but declined a winning opportunity (carried head high and idled) next time; visor didn't work at Beverley last week, so question marks persist. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Losing run is mounting up and he didn't look particularly resolute when nevertheless going close at Musselburgh (1m) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new headgear. |

8th 3 (9) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Triple AW winner last winter (including one over C&D) but form has an uneven look since; below best over C&D last time but usual cheekpieces now replaced by first-time visor. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden; probably a bit better than he was able to show from stall 9 draw at Chelmsford last time; well beaten only previous run here (debut) but place claims this time. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
12th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A maiden after eight starts but his pair of seconds to a progressive rival at Lingfield (1m, AW) in recent weeks suggest he can put that right soon; high on the shortlist. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |
4/1 |

13 (13) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m who scored for the ninth time when landing a not dissimilar event over C&D three weeks ago; has never won off a mark this high but seems to be getting quicker as she ages and has gone back-to-back before. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple wins include one over 7f on the Rowley course and she's also finished close up over 6f there; needs more than she's been showing of late though and this is her first run on the July course. |
16/1 |
|
14th 5 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed her seventh win when scoring at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but has run below par at Ripon and Musselburgh since; the step back in trip is also unlikely to play to her strengths. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 (7f and 1m); down to a handy mark again and his penultimate effort was a step back in the right direction; disappointed 12 days ago (slowly away) but a revival isn't out of the question. |
