21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled in 2025; had a wind op prior to his seasonal return 12 days ago but he finished well beaten at Redcar (1m, good); too much to prove. |

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning four on the bounce, but 2025 was disappointing; returns after a lengthy absence (had wind op in March) and he has plenty to prove in this competitive race. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doubled his tally over C&D when making all in a class 5 handicap four weeks ago, his third win when ridden by Elle-May Croot; likes it here and has good claims off 3lb higher, but could be taken on for the lead by Spartan Fighter. |

No match for Coramento here last month in a race he won the previous season; however, he does have a pull in the weights with the winner and must have an each-way chance. |

Multiple winner on a variety of going at about 1m, including over C&D; ran well when second twice over C&D in the spring and once last month; major player. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who has a good chance on some of his 2026 handicap form over 8.5f at Beverley, including latest start, and gives the impression this return to 1m2f is worth exploring. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D record read 14224 before June's below-par run, and a foray into classified company since bore no fruit either; wouldn't dismiss outright from this lowest mark he's ever raced off in a handicap, however. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in February and last month's fourth of 14 back here (just behind Mr Heinz) was another good effort; just 1-21, but shortlist material on the pick of his form; blinkers return. |
6/1 |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |
|
6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

2nd Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Nottingham novice (5f, soft) in May 2023 but she's 0-11 since and has not posed a threat in six runs for current yard; still unexposed at this trip and mark continues to fall but others are preferred. |

17th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Placed at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) on her second start for current yard but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; wasn't beaten far here last time but she's now 1-12 and needs to find more back up in trip. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started the season well, winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May; less competitive since, including when fifth of eight over 1m at Carlisle five weeks ago; competes from an easing mark with blinkers replacing usual cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins have been on good to soft, the latest over 7f here on reappearance in May; rather disappointing both starts since; has won over 7.5f; any rain a bonus, but needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turned things around after a break when scoring at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but she failed to back that up over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; still looks on a workable mark but she's hard to predict and needs to bounce back again. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best with his emphatic win at Carlisle (1m, good) in August but he's not easy to predict and was last of nine at Thirsk last time; still unexposed on AW and has won at this track but he needs to bounce again on this return to Tapeta. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m2f; arrives on the back of a career-best effort, when the ready winner of a 0-55 handicap at Carlisle (1m, good) recently; has been below par next time after his two previous successes but he's a player again after a 5lb rise, provided he can back up his win. |
4/1 |
|
6 (7) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Raced freely and looked to go hard enough in front when below market expectations last time; drops back from 1m2f and will likely have plenty of use made of him again. |
