2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
On a losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth in 1m4f Thirsk handicap eight days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Won at Kempton (1m, AW) early last year and is now 2lb lower than when winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; mostly struggled since and he was beaten 3l when fifth of nine in first-time blinkers over this C&D 13 days ago. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |

18th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Slowly away and no impact when fifth at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last month on first handicap start; however, he showed promise on soft ground on his debut last September and perhaps he'll tap back into that when reverting to a slow surface; trainer does well here; wears a first-time hood. |
9/2 |

5th 9 (2) |
11th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Signs of promise last autumn on first two starts (7f/1m, soft/good to firm) and likewise when close fourth of five at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; his talented half-siblings Valley Forge and Speak improved for this yard when sent into handicaps, and he may well do likewise; one to consider. |

Consistent filly who has only once finished out of the frame; won a Beverley maiden in May (7.5f, soft) and best run in handicaps when second at Catterick two runs ago (7f, soft); not so good at 1m last time; a possible but best form on soft ground. |

6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Never far away when finding most to prevail over this far at Redcar (good to firm) and she pulled too hard to give herself any chance at Beverley (good to soft); only 4lb above her winning mark and there's a big run in her if settling better. |
10/1 |

18th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fair efforts on first two starts for this yard (heavy/good) before breaking her duck at the ninth attempt at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; that may have given her confidence a boost and she's respected up 4lb. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on good to soft ground last year, but his four efforts since returning in April have been moderate to say the least; 3lb below his last winning mark but has plenty to prove. |

18th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won twice during light campaign last season (1m2f, good to soft; including here); however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |
