16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood. |
7/2 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |

6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all in big-field York handicap (good to firm) in 2024; C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and AW (also 7f) winner last summer; lesser efforts followed until a firm step back in the right direction last time and returns to turf from a handy mark; respected. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer but has struggled for form on AW this winter, including back from a second wind operation last time; would need to see market support to consider. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Record is 2-18; best efforts this season when third at Ayr in July/August; filled same position in this contest last year; likely player if back in similar form. |

9st 12lb |
Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in July and good runner-up efforts here the last twice, going down only narrowly latterly; should go well again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins include one here; had lost his way but back on track behind an improver here last week (9.4f); thereabouts if in the same form again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
21st Sep 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has lost the plot since winning over C&D in high summer, including back on Tapeta last time; has it all to prove now and is some way down the pecking order. |
16/1 |
