29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Modest strike-rate since 2022 and his form thus far this term hasn't continued the broad consistency he showed in 2025; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Conditions shouldn't be an excuse and he didn't run badly at Bath (5f, good) three weeks ago after a short break; Tom Marquand a notable booking; each-way shout. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still on career-high mark but latest effort (when bidding for 6f double) suggests he remains in form, and his Pontefract record is largely consistent; solid contender. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won on a range of surfaces but two 6f wins in 2025 came on good to firm and he was racing on that surface for the first time since when winning at Thirsk last week; back up 3lb and has another good run in him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two 6f wins on fast ground last season; made a pleasing return to action at Newcastle (6f) in March and raced away from the main action when well held back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) since; not discounted. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |
14/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |
13/2 |
|
6 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on soft; three wins in summer 2024, the first over C&D; two creditable minor honours this May/July but opposable on what he's done since. |

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. |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |

3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

9st 11lb |
Unexposed 3yo; looked good, albeit a touch wayward, when winning at Doncaster in June (5f, good to soft) and he was back at that level when second at Ayr 13 days ago, travelling strongly but still looking raw under pressure; up 2lb but looks the type to carry on improving with experience. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |

3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |

3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |
