2nd 6 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Landed this race off 7lb higher last year; couldn't get involved over the bare 5f here 18 days ago but his two previous runs over this slightly longer trip were encouraging; likely there or thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
9th 10 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner who comes here in decent nick, fourth of nine in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago; not out of things back in handicap company. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three turf wins came on this track, on extremes of going; went quiet on the AW earlier in the year but he came from a long way back to take a late third over C&D in May and has better claims than most. |

8th 10 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago. |
50/1 |
|
9th 10 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Fahey; only narrowly denied by The Gay Blade over 6f at Newcastle in February but hasn't been in same form since, including behind that reopposing rival there last week. |
14/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Fahey; has run poorly on last two starts; best watched for now. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only one of his ten wins has been on turf (record of 1-27); beaten less than 2l when fifth of 12 at Redcar on most recent turf run, but poor effort back on AW next time; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Has been running well on the AW but that's more his thing, the scene of nine of his ten wins; could still have a part to play. |

3rd Jul 2024 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
1-33, his win coming at Chelmsford (5f) in April; raced mainly on AW and has shown little on his last three starts, all on turf; big improvement needed. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

12/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finally got off the mark when winning in first-time visor (retained since) at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in April; lightly raced on turf but came last at Bath (5f, good to soft) latest and has something to prove on grass. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D win 15 months ago, but she's struggled to find her form this year and although her mark has bottomed out, she looks opposable tried in blinkers for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plummeted down the handicap and has finished out of the frame in her last nine starts; this is however her best chance for a while and cannot be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (11) |
5th May 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Has dropped 7lb below her last winning mark and has the assistance of Patrick Millman, but has finished out of the frame in her last eight starts; has won on good to soft, unraced on anything softer. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |
14/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark with a narrow success in a four-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; dropped away over C&D last time and others bring stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
23rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when beating Battle Point at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; that was a last-gasp win in a four-runner race but he travelled well for a long way and is only 2lb higher here; respected back on Tapeta. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
30-race maiden; placed over 5f here in July, but precious little to enthuse about since, including when reluctant to load in this headgear combination at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last Thursday; better to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
8th 10 (8) |
26th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in July but well beaten on her three runs since and now 0-29; blinkers go on; best to look elsewhere. |
40/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Exposed 28-race maiden; placed over C&D in July and had an excuse here last time; others still much more appealing for win purposes. |
