3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Made all, scrambling home at Redcar (7f, Class 6, good to soft; from 3lb lower) last September; showed that same speed before weakening on seasonal reappearance at Thirsk (7f, good; 11th of 14; 25-1) in April; has a tricky draw to navigate, unless electing to go far side. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction. |

2nd 8 (12) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip. |
25/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by soft ground and 7f, and on a very good mark now (13lb lower than when winning at Catterick in September 2023); mainly out of form this season; probably best watched. |
12/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four 7f wins at Catterick in 2023 but he's been struggling since the spring and his much-reduced mark isn't helping him much at the moment; 0-11 on AW and has it to prove at present. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |
8/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |

In the frame in eight consecutive starts between July 2022 and August last year, including three here (6f/7f), but seems to have gone off the boil (well held in both outings for this yard); now 0-16 and best to look elsewhere. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

15-race maiden who was below par on her final few runs for Grant Tuer and it was the same story on her recent stable debut at Catterick; however, it wasn't a bad performance last time, she could build on it today, and she's well handicapped on the pick of last summer's efforts; possibilities. |

10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

14-race maiden who was below par on her final few runs for Grant Tuer, particularly in February when last seen; however, she's on a handy mark if the first-time hood and change of stables prompts a revival. |

Four wins when trained by Iain Jardine, including two at Newcastle this January; hasn't shone in four runs for new stable though and hopes are pinned on the returning blinkers (he's been wearing a visor or cheekpieces) working the oracle. |
