4th 1 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handles most ground but all of his four wins have been on good to firm; last success was at Ayr (5f) 12 months ago but that was on his reappearance and he's only 1lb higher for today's return; needs a close look after 221 days off. |
6/1 |
|
11th 1 (12) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Winning reappearance at Ayr (5f) in May and returned to form with a close call at Catterick 20 days ago; however, inconclusive AW form from just two attempts and offputting that he hasn't run on sand since late 2023. |
6/1 |
|
3 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Made a winning return to action at Ayr in May but two runs since have been disappointing, even allowing for the higher grade; needs a full revival but he has run well here in the past. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
5 (10) |
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. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

3rd 2 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer; not seen to best effect on his last three runs since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in March, going too freely from an outside draw when last of six at Bath (5f) last time; interesting from an easing mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; stayed on well to land a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March and two defeats since have come over 6f; latest Lingfield effort was much better than the distance beaten suggests; 5f on quick ground suits ideally and more patient tactics in a well-run race could pay dividends. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and he failed to settle when well beaten from a wide draw over 6f there next time; however, all of his wins have come at 5f and he has something to prove kept to 6f. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (off 1lb higher) last summer and at Pontefract this spring but has proved inconsistent otherwise during that period; no banker to give his running. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close second at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and likewise at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; however, soundly beaten on his three starts since and he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
13th 18 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Close fourth in a division of this contest last year but up and down since and his last two runs have been poor; dangerously well handicapped but opposable on balance. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-time winner who scored off 6lb higher at Catterick last May; has been up and down since then but he finished well to go close over C&D (good) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and it would be positive if rain arrives. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |

Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |
15/2 |

1 (7) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on firm but seems suited by some give in the ground these days; sound run when about 3l fourth at Haydock last time on first run at this trip (good to soft); on a really good mark at present and one with a chance. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. |

Poor strike-rate and down the field in two runs back on turf this spring; latest Catterick effort easy to forgive though as he got it wrong at the start and then saw no daylight in the home straight, finishing with running left in him; this should be run to suit and he's handicapped to go well. |
