25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Looked a fair prospect when winning both handicap starts in June but didn't improve for the step up to 1m2f turned out quickly last time; drop back in distance should help and no surprise to see him go well, despite going up in grade. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, good) on handicap/seasonal debut and at this track (1m, good to firm) eight days later; came from off the pace on both occasions, leaving it late last time, and there's clear scope for further improvement with this step up in trip; has 6lb penalty but good chance to complete a quick hat-trick. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seen only four times this year, with best run his close second of six in modest race at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) two starts ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ran best race this year when second at Carlisle last time (7f, good to soft); could go well, but ideally suited by some give in the ground and perhaps better at 7f. |

Now 10lb lower than when winning over Haydock's 7f last July and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) latest; he has soft-ground form if going back far enough. |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Enhanced his fine Beverley record with a win over the extended 7f last month but a 0-16 AW record suggests that even a 2lb nudge may leave him vulnerable for win purposes here. |
12/1 |

1st 10 (5) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

3rd 6 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance. |
12/1 |

9th 14 (12) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Pontefract (1m) in July and has remained in reasonable form, but no obvious excuses here last time and he's now 3lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Pontefract (1m) in July and has continued in decent form, sixth of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off an easing mark. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promise in two novice events at around 1m on soft/heavy as a 2yo; was then absent for 570 days and has finished well beaten on both outings since (7f, 1m, tailed off on good to firm last time); should do better back on easier ground; up markedly in trip. |
20/1 |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Placed in both starts in 2022; missed 2023 and seemed to need his reappearance run eight weeks ago; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut (raced only on soft/heavy). |
