17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m, soft) last September and now 4lb lower but she's struggled on her four starts this year (two hurdles, two Flat). |

5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Poor maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear since starting his career in bumpers; has done a lot of his racing on soft ground, so any rain would likely suit, but he's hard to recommend either way. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Half his ten starts were on turf but all those were on soft and his form dropped off markedly on last two outings; recent headgear is removed; 9lb lower than on handicap debut and the ground should be different. |
20/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
16/1 |

10th 14 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground hat-trick over this trip last August; also runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) in the autumn but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with eight AW wins to his name, including one last November and another this February; both were on Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f and 9.4f) and he showed enough in two runs last month to be considered, even though he's very rarely seen over this far nowadays. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with pretty good 8-54 AW strike-rate that includes two C&D wins (one on Fibresand); no longer the force of old but ran well off his lower turf mark a fortnight ago and has a fighting chance here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Much more prolific on AW but has a soft-ground C&D win on his CV; did not enjoy run of the race when sixth in 1m Chepstow classified in July, after a break, but still needs to build on that performance here. |

Both wins have been over 1m at Newcastle (good second there last time); 0-20 on turf, but fair second at Pontefract in June and a chance on that form. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times last year (all 1m), including when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth on first start for Michael Wigham; mixed fortunes lately and has work to do with Coloane from Pontefract in July, so it's difficult to know what to expect. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, who's generally struggled this time; is among the lowest rated and could have done with some rain ideally. |
