30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
String of solid efforts for Ethan Tindall, including two wins, in the past nine months; on a career-high mark, having been nudged up another 2lb, but there was nothing wrong with his comeback effort at Pontefract early last month (5f); has to be considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 12 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Successful on AW in most recent 5f attempt and is far less exposed at this trip than 6f; however, he's rather in the deep end at this level returned to turf; yet to win above Class 4. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield. |
8/1 |

Hinted at a revival in latest start and is attractively treated assuming he builds on that effort; gained sole handicap success off 5lb higher (in 2024). |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored three times last March-August; he's now just 1lb above his last winning mark, having ended last season on a low note and continued in same vein this year; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |
20/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Had 12 races for current yard and won two of them; never threatened to add another when beaten 16l only last week; that was after a break. |
9/1 |

14th 2 (15) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

8 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his four wins have been at 6f on turf and last three were in 2024; well handicapped on old form but he was out of sorts in the autumn and has something to prove back up in trip for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns). |
25/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 6f wins last autumn, two of them on heavy ground; lightly raced this year but unable to threaten on soft going on his two outings last month and he needs to raise his game. |
14/1 |
|
6 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Mudlark; won three times over 6f last year on going ranging from good to soft to heavy; not quite as his best in three runs this season (bled from the nose last time) but could bounce back with a hood tried (can race keenly). |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |
