17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |

Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |
22/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-66, that a 150-1 shock at Stratford (3m4f) in April 2024; nearly as many letters as numbers in his form figures since January 2025, tailed off (suffered from heat stress) on return to action at Cartmel three weeks ago; competes from 9lb out of the handicap. |
50/1 |

8th 11 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Approaching two years since he last showed any form to speak of, and has a lot to prove from 9lb out of the weights this time. |
