4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
This mark in range but he hasn't found his best form so far this year (had blindfold issues behind Castan latest); this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All six wins over 5f; also second over 5f here (good) in August of 2024 but hasn't been seen since a poor run at Beverley later that month; previously trained by his owner; can only really watch after such a long time off. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; this reliable C&D winner ought to be in the shake-up. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win this year but retains plenty of ability; second at Thirsk on three occasions, two this year; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; well handicapped on his 2024 form but he was only seen twice last year and finished down the field on both occasions; enough to prove back from a break. |
8/1 |
|
10th 3 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten 1l into fourth in this race 12 months ago (off this mark); absent until finishing down the field at York last week; due to be 3lb lower in the future and he needs to have come on a good deal in a short space of time. |
20/1 |
|
16th 5 (12) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner, including twice over C&D; shaped as if retaining ability when eighth of ten at Nottingham (40-1) on return but may need another run to put him spot-on. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |

Prominent racer; did best of the group to race on the stands' side when third in a 5f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; well handicapped on last summer's best and he has a good record at Bath; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April. |

Good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut last September; well short of that level in three runs this year, including when tried in cheekpieces 19 days ago; risky. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Dual winner in Ireland for Natalia Lupini but he struggled for Tim Easterby in 2024/25; made a good start for this yard when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in September but he was disappointing following a slow start over 6f there 16 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Placed three times on AW over the winter before resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell 18 days ago; hasn't been successful above a mark of 76 so a career best will be needed if he's to follow up. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist. |

3rd 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Stepped up on his low-key reappearance when winning a 5f handicap at Newcastle 16 days ago; this demands more up 4lb and he wasn't at his best in one C&D run last summer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Should come on for last month's Southwell reappearance; returning to a stiff 5f no bad thing either and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting with Paul Midgley running three here. |
