11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Only sixth and ninth this year, but he caught the eye on his reappearance and blew the start next time; now 7lb lower than when winning over C&D (good ground) last summer; likely to be doing his best work late on and a leading contender if getting the breaks. |
25/1 |

9th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best, including a York win off 4lb higher (5f, good); only midfield at Beverley on his reappearance 17 days ago (5f, good to soft) but the ground would have been slower than ideal and he travelled strongly before plugging on past a few tiring rivals in the final furlong; better expected back on a quicker surface. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (3) |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

Inconsistent front-runner but was close up behind Vantheman at Hamilton and this flatter track could suit better; respected. |
12/1 |

5th 9 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent front-runner who's given a third try in a tongue-tie following a below-par effort back on turf last time (made much of the running from the rail draw at Musselburgh); on a competitive mark if he's on a going day though. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (13) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent last year but won twice (5f, good), including over C&D, and he returned to form with a near-miss at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month; major player if he's once more on a going day. |

Came good for Julie Camacho with narrow turf win in first-time cheekpieces this summer and did well to finish fourth on last month's AW debut at Lingfield (first-time visor), having started slowly; remains unexposed on artificial surfaces; one to consider. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has eight wins but has become hard to win with for current yard this year, making the frame seven times without success; well-handicapped if he can just turn the corner. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Useful for previous yards; 0-4 this term for new stable but penultimate effort shows that he retains plenty of ability and today's assignment looks a touch easier than his latest one. |

13th 3 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
6f German Listed win for Archie Watson last June and looked as good as ever when 1l third of 13 to Strike Red in recent Leicester handicap (good to firm), when back up to 6f on his third run for this yard; may not be far away. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner (5f/6f) for his previous yards and he's run respectably in two 5f handicaps for his new trainer this spring; needs to find some extra spark but he's edging down the weights and this step back up in trip looks a good move. |
14/1 |
