10th 4 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
C&D scorer but he failed to build on Ripon reappearance fourth when only fifth of seven in 5f Catterick handicap five days ago; he's not the easiest to catch right. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins, the latest on reappearance at Ayr last May (5f, good); fair fourth on last month's Ripon reappearance (5f, good), although that form hasn't worked out; good second to Equity Law here last September and, with his stable going well, he's worth considering. |
9/2 |
|
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. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
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. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month and another good run when runner-up at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) latest; contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Six-time winner who is dangerous at this level; just 1lb higher than for his AW win in March and he was back at that level when a close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is his first visit to Brighton but likely to be in the thick of the action. |
11/4 |
|
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. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
8th 9 |
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. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has won twice on good ground but other seven wins have been on good to soft/soft; had his ground when third at Nottingham two runs back, and not beaten far when seventh at Thirsk last week (5f, good); on a good mark but needs rain not sun. |
5/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Arrives in good nick without winning this season, third of six in 5f Nottingham handicap five days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

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. |

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. |
