8th 6 (9) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |

3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

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 |

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. |
13/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Acts on soft; three wins in summer 2024, the first over C&D; two creditable minor honours this May/July but opposable on what he's done since. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
5f winner on soft and acts on heavy; eased down when appearing to lose his action at Redcar (5f, soft) last week; if over that, he's on a competitive mark. |
20/1 |

12th 12 (12) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Conditions will suit and he's been running creditably of late, albeit without quite being at his spring best; not sure stall 12 will be beneficial. |
13/2 |

4th 8 (2) |
7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has generally remained in form since his soft-ground success (off 1lb lower) in the spring; did well to make the frame at Catterick last week considering he raced alone; ties in with Alafdhal on that effort. |

C&D winner off 2lb lower in July (good to soft) but lesser run on good to firm last time; could go well back from a break. |

Had 12 races for current yard and won two of them; never threatened to add another when beaten 16l only last week; that was after a break. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
A couple of good runs over 7f when trained by Archie Watson; has pulled too hard and finished tailed off on both starts for this yard, but they were also over 7f; this drop in trip (having first run at 5f) could prove beneficial; a possible at long odds on turf debut. |

Maiden who has been absent since a heavy defeat over C&D three months ago on debut for new yard; best watched unless there's a market move. |
