7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence. |

28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Newmarket this month; should run his race but a 3lb rise for the latest defeat does ask a stiffer question of him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

2nd 1 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Very disappointing at Ascot (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago which needs forgiving, but his Chepstow success (7f, good to firm) in May was the only occasion he has dropped into Class 6 company in more than two years; worth a second look. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Won first two 5f handicaps, in April and May (soft and good to soft), including over C&D; hasn't had a great second half of the year, however, and after running better than the bare result at Ayr last month he was well adrift at Catterick since; could still go well if the mood takes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
4th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Equally effective over 6f-7f, even though both career wins have come over today's 5f trip (Class 6); lost his way after finishing in the frame in a selling handicap at Hamilton in July, but his latest Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) was more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark. |
20/1 |

9th 12 (9) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Couple of Class 6 wins on slow ground in the spring; blew the start and failed to beat a rival when last seen; chance partly depends on whether he breaks better and takes well to new headgear. |

Sole win from 39 starts was in June 2022 and he's been beaten 13l or more in his last four runs; opposable. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
2-41 on turf, the latest success coming at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last May; runner-up on his last two starts, latest over 5f at that venue 12 days ago, and warrants respect now stepped back up in trip. |
11/4 |

2nd 9 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 2-40 on turf but his last win was at Thirsk last spring and he was runner-up at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week; looks interesting off 1lb lower here and he's respected back at this track. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

In great form since having wind surgery, winning at Newcastle (AW) then unlucky third at Beverley (good; would likely have won with clearer run); raised only 1lb for latest effort and commands respect. |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Bold effort from the front when upped to 1m on this track in March and she might have needed her first run since when dropping out over C&D this month; other front-runners could queer her pitch today. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden whose first nine starts came over sprint trips, but she ran much better than expected when third of eight over 1m here in March; that run suggested this trip could prove ideal, but she has been off for six months; market may be useful. |

Returned to form with close fourth from the front at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last Wednesday when wearing this headgear for first time; however, needs something extra if he's to break his duck in this better race. |
