23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |

16th 17 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |

1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden; has taken pretty well to hurdling this spring, making the frame at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good), but does not look obviously well treated for handicap debut. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Lowly rated Flat maiden; seemed to take pretty well to hurdling when respectable fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago but has quite a lot to find here. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when scoring at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August but she's flopped with heavy defeats in both subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and she's untried on AW. |
16/1 |
|
7th 12 (12) |
24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Tailed off at Musselburgh nine days ago but didn't look at home on that track; in good form previously and she won at Redcar (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; runner-up on soft ground here last July; could bounce back and play a leading role. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More threatening in the cheekpieces and off the mark at the 15th attempt in cosy fashion at Redcar (1m, good to firm); up just 3lb and she's added consistency to her game. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best run when close fifth in a Ripon handicap (1m, good) in May; had traffic issues in the closing stages there and again at Redcar (7f, good to firm) ten days later; still has potential after seven starts and in the mix with hood added; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls in June. |
5/1 |
|
9 (1) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best run when close fifth to Havana Prince (now 4lb worse off) and Curious Mrs Fox (3lb worse off) in a C&D handicap last month (good); didn't get the best of runs that day and again found trouble when eighth at Redcar last time (7f, good to firm); interesting. |
9/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
20th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 but he ran his best race when close fifth at Ripon (1m, good; tongue-tie added) ten days ago and that can be marked up because he ran into some trouble in the closing stages; should be fine with this drop back in trip and he looks interesting off 1lb lower than last time. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f scorer in 2025; hinted at a revival when sixth of 13 in 8.5f handicap at Beverley nine days ago, finishing well from a poor draw; very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (13) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time, with reappearance under her belt; has form over C&D but the forecast ground isn't ideal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
14/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

1-27 on the Flat; some of last year's best efforts came here but she's still opposable for win purposes after 190 days off. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Below par in heavy-ground claimer at Leicester last time, taking record to 0-9; ordinary filly but some of her form gives cause for optimism off this reduced mark. |

13-race maiden; awkward head-carriage at Catterick (7f) the last twice; best two efforts in terms of RPRs have come here at Beverley, but that's nowhere near enough to recommend him. |

Handled heavy ground best when winning a claimer easily at a big price in May; hit hard by the assessor for that and he finished well held for his new yard last time. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise in a 3yo claimer at Leicester 26 days ago (7f, heavy); whether he can reproduce that for his new yard under these faster conditions is questionable. |
