27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; three wins at Catterick in 2022 but she hasn't added to them since; recorded an RPR of 79 on her seasonal return when rated 14lb higher; although she's gone backwards since, she had a wind op last month and wasn't seen to best effect at Catterick 19 days ago; not discounted dropping into a 0-60. |

Three C&D wins to her name from six runs; the return here should help, back from wind surgery, and while Birkenhead looks her yard's best chance a revival wouldn't surprise off a career-low mark. |

7th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran out an easy winner in a small-field soft-ground handicap at Pontefract last spring but the handicapper took umbrage and she's found it tough going since; may have needed January's return to action but she still carries risk despite her much-reduced mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |
7/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won six 5f handicaps here in 2025; only 1lb higher than for the latest of them but he is rarely seen over 6f and connections now turn to a tongue tie for the first time. |
7/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a fine record over 5f here, winning in December and reaching the frame on all three outings this year; 6f AW winner for previous stable but has raced almost exclusively at the minimum trip for Nigel Tinkler; should be on the premises if still fully effective at 6f. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Strike-rate of 8-34 includes five turf wins; seventh behind Vantheman at Hamilton 14 days ago but moved well for a long way before fading late on. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
As good as ever on Tapeta lately, albeit turned over as favourite on last two outings; returns to turf 3lb above his highest winning mark and at the age of seven (no surprise to see Rhys Elliott up to take off 5lb) and he will need to get things bang on. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner; enjoyed a purple patch last summer, landing a big payday when scoring at Haydock in August; got the better of Fidelius over C&D on his return to action in January and he meets his old rival on 1lb better terms today; only fourth in a higher grade last time but he can make a bold bid back into 0-85 company. |

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. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor. |

6th 11 (9) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Kept busy on the AW this winter and already a dual 5f winner at Newcastle; not out of things if translating that form but he's yet to show his best form on turf. |

Down the field at Pontefract last time but in pretty good form previously, finishing third at Catterick (5f, good to soft) two starts ago, and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |

4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |
