21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Successful six times during a spell as a classic Prescott improver; limitations somewhat exposed in Class 2 events (including two major handicaps) subsequently; a possible danger back down in grade. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

Behind New York Minute at Southwell before edging home in a Class 5 over C&D; will do well to follow up in this higher grade. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Consistent last July-September and nicely treated on that form; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her two outings this year. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame four consecutive times last July-September (1m3f-2m), but made a low-key reappearance last week and is probably better suited by a stiffer test of stamina than this now. |
7/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a spell of consistent efforts and has frame possibilities provided she returns in similar form; whether she can end a losing spell is another matter (no win since 2023). |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |

Never figured over hurdles last month on stable debut and return from long absence; not seen on Flat since 2018; best watched. |

8th May 2024 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Easy win in a Newton Abbot seller (2m2f, good) for Dan Skelton in September 2022 but he's not been since then; well treated on his old handicap form but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has something to prove for new yard after a long absence. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Belied his 125-1 odds with an encouraging effort over 1m4f here two weeks ago on return from layoff; shaped as if this step back up in distance would suit; possibilities off same mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Flat/hurdles winner in Britain and Flat/bumper scorer in Germany; beaten long way in two handicap hurdles for Milton Harris back on British soil, latest nine months ago; similar profile to Cabrakan and the betting should be helpful. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 |
9th Sep 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Flat/hurdles winner in Britain earlier in career and Flat/bumper scorer in Germany last year; not seen since very disappointing stable debut in March, though, and not an easy one to predict here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has taken quite well to hurdling in recent weeks, finishing fourth at Worcester (2m, good to soft) and Kelso (2m, good); may have to settle for another minor prize here, though. |
8/1 |
