20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He's posted easy wins here this June (2m2f, good), August (2m1f, good to firm) and September (2m1f, good to soft); plenty to find with the form principals but can give another good account at his favourite track. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form figures in staying handicaps at this track this year read 211, the latest success coming by 5l over 2m1f (good) last month; heavy defeat on AW last time but respected back here. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has won two staying handicaps at Pontefract this summer and he nearly prevailed in a small field here in May; edging up the weights but he's having a productive spell. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
First run for Joe Tizzard when justifying market confidence at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March last year and unlikely he gave his true running when well beaten after a 7lb rise at Taunton in November; could be given another chance, though lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but posted best of three runs for new stable (since a long absence) when third at Taunton (2m, good; behind Mi Sueno) last month and is another 1lb lower here; respected. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
A useful middle-distance Flat performer, but still a maiden over hurdles after seven attempts and has yet to rediscover his form in two starts since returning from a long absence this season; likely best watched for now. |
12/1 |

4th 7 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Useful on the Flat, won 1m4f Salisbury handicap in 2023 off a mark of 88; more off days than on in the meantime but soft ground no help on recent yard debut after nearly two years off; worth a market check off a very low mark now back on more suitable ground; cheekpieces refitted. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Soundly beaten on final run last term but on heavy ground, and it was a campaign in which he frequently ran really well, going close off this mark at York (1m2f, good) in October; won on his reappearance in 2024; respected. |
11/2 |

4 (5) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Ayr (1m5f, good) in June and has run really well in defeat over 1m4f (good to firm) on his last two starts, most recently beaten a neck here; this progressive 5yo could give another good account although the drop back in trip may well prove to be a negative. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointing in his two starts at York, latterly in this race last year; back to his best on two of his last three outings when winning at Ayr (1m5f, good) in June and close third in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) 13 days ago; contender if the form is transferred to York this time. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Had somewhat mixed record during first season over hurdles but won a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in February and confirmed her wellbeing with a pretty good Flat run this month; could have a say. |
10/1 |
Verdict
The two Syd Hosie-trained contenders, Ellerton (second choice) and Galactic Jack, faced a difficult introduction to hurdling at Cheltenham two weeks ago and have possibilities dropped back in class. However, the Alan King-trained INSANITY looks an interesting prospect for this sphere and is taken to score at the first attempt.[Steve Boow]
