10th 9 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level. |
40/1 |
|
8 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |
16/1 |
|
6 (9) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race off a 12lb higher mark last season (soft); mixed form this season, but creditable third over C&D last time (soft) and having dropped a further 2lb, is a contender. |
9/1 |
|
4 (2) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has had a regressive campaign but he showed some spark at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) two starts ago; two-time C&D winner on soft/good to soft so today's conditions will be right up his street; chance. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 3-7 over C&D when justifying favouritism with a narrow win in February; no joy in two turf runs this season and has wide draw back on Tapeta but she's now only 1lb higher than for her last success; Hollie Doyle is booked; contender if she can get back near best. |
8/1 |
|
12th 12 (7) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole turf win came in a 6f novice in 2023; has won five AW handicaps at 6f-7f since but her grass form over the last two seasons has been middling and needs improvement; Colin Keane has first ride for yard. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won her novice over C&D but her five subsequent handicap wins have been on AW, the latest at Wolverhampton when last seen in February; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls here on May 12 (12-1 at the time of withdrawal); |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who retains some gusto and won from the front at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July; however, his last two efforts have been well below par and he could be vulnerable to younger legs. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

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. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

Won over 6f at Naas last summer and fair fourth over 5f back there latest; blinkers added and he's back on a winnable mark. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Course form figures of 1-2 over 6f, the win coming off 1lb higher last August; has won over 5f on AW; below best in two outings this season but could revive back at this venue. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 6lb |
One win apiece on turf/AW; well beaten behind Nezeeh on sole C&D try in October when trying to make all; should be all the better for return run at Dundalk last month but others look more likely. |

9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has five wins on AW, including one over C&D; below his best since winning at Lingfield in February and best watched. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Normally a fairly consistent sort but that's not been the case in 2026, with Lingfield success (penultimate start) his standout performance; failed to beat a rival latest; hard to support with confidence. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Poor efforts in January are flanked by two wins over 6f, latest at Lingfield when taking AW record to 5-30; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb; likely player, provided he remains in form. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three of his six wins have been over C&D but last one was back in March 2024; has been out of sorts on his last two starts. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
His handicap mark has bottomed out and there have been more encouraging signs on his last two starts, second in a 0-50 classified over C&D 15 days ago; more required today. |
14/1 |
