17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Four-time AW winner in Britain; pleasing start for this yard when staying on third at Leopardstown (7f, good) in August and excuses following month when disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse (ground, too keen and not clear run); drops in grade for AW return, Keane booked. |

Pleasing start for this yard when staying on from the rear for third at Leopardstown (7f, good); nine-time winner dropped 2lb for that and has won off higher marks in the past; best turf form is on good ground. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; Beverley reappearance was promising but he was only midfield in a big field at York three weeks ago; down in class but needs a full revival. |
12/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; made a respectable return to action one month ago and enters each-way calculations. |

5th 8 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by soft ground and 7f, and on a very good mark now (13lb lower than when winning at Catterick in September 2023); mainly out of form this season; probably best watched. |
12/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four 7f wins at Catterick in 2023 but he's been struggling since the spring and his much-reduced mark isn't helping him much at the moment; 0-11 on AW and has it to prove at present. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f; 10-1, from a 2lb lower mark) early in the New Year, having regularly caught the eye here prior; no obvious excuses when fourth over C&D latest (14-1); others more appealing. |
20/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Came from off the pace to score at Southwell last month, his seventh success; probably still on a workable mark but his latest run was below par and his record in recent months is very mixed. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame over C&D at start of this month and again ran well on heavy ground when third behind Highfield Viking at Thirsk (7f, heavy) six days later; remains without a win since 2021, though, and drying ground will severely dent his appeal today. |

Won five on the trot over 6f/7f in 2021 (on good to soft/soft/heavy and AW) but hasn't won since; good fourth after losing both front shoes at Catterick last week (7f, heavy); chance. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |

4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |

1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |

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. |
