23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |

1st 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

Last win came off a 6lb higher mark over C&D in April 2025 (good); runner-up in that equivalent race 11 days ago (good) and with rain about, could go well again. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

50-1 winner over C&D off 11lb higher in February last year; back on a good mark but hasn't been in top form recently. |
25/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

11th 8 (10) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |

4th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Gives her all and wasn't beaten far when fourth to Rock Melody over C&D (soft) in August; should be thereabouts again, although she holds no secrets from the handicapper and others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (10) |
13th Aug 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
String of solid efforts for Ethan Tindall, including two wins, in the past nine months; on a career-high mark, having been nudged up another 2lb, but there was nothing wrong with his comeback effort at Pontefract early last month (5f); has to be considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Successful on AW in most recent 5f attempt and is far less exposed at this trip than 6f; however, he's rather in the deep end at this level returned to turf; yet to win above Class 4. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Underwhelming on his three starts since promising reappearance run at Doncaster in March; however, he has a strong record at Hamilton and is running here for the first time this season; slow ground would be a positive. |
13/2 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain. |

Placed at Musselburgh last weekend but recorded a meagre RPR; the veteran remains on a near two-year losing spell. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent over 5f-6f during summer but yet to win this year and form has dipped lately; will find this easier than latest task and won't mind if the ground softens but younger rivals have more appealing profiles. |
14/1 |

13th 16 (5) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Went close over C&D in a 0-55 handicap in July; placed on his next two starts but underperformed last time and this is a tough task from out of the weights. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Standing dish at the track, having earned eight of his 10 wins here on good or softer; a long way below par since finishing third over C&D in July (good to firm) but on a handy mark if he can be revived. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has won eight times at this track but he's been beaten a long way on his last two visits; 0-8 this year and not crying out to be backed. |
12/1 |
|
14th 14 (7) |
19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time course winner (6f/7f), who was placed here last month but he was laboured back at this track last time; goes back up in trip off a dangerous mark, but this veteran is not easy to predict these days and others are more solid. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some. |

3rd Apr 2024 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |
