28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last September when with Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't been with this yard for long, but he has looked better on Tapeta than on Polytrack thus far. |

2-11 for Sir Mark Prescott, including 2m1f win at Pontefract (good to firm; 3lb higher today) last September in first-time cheekpieces; sold for 90,000gns in October and his only run over hurdles was a modest one in March; cheekpieces absent that day and in this race; others preferred. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs. |
10/1 |
|
6 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner (extended 2m5f) who was third in this last year; form figures this term read 2123, the win coming at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June; solid. |
3/1 |
|
2 (4) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
In good form this season, winning comprehensively at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June before 9l second to unexposed winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm); the return to 2m is in his favour and he's a key player. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Six-time winner at up to 2m in Britain but yet to hit any sort of form for current yard; career-low mark and tongue-tie tried so don't rule out. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (16) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 11lb |
Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |
18/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Dual hurdle winner; only 6l away last time at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) on ground that would have been on the lively side for her; can see her going well. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |

A fair 2m winner at his best but he came in last in 2m Newcastle handicap in December; won a point last month though so is no forlorn hope. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing. |
12/1 |
|
2 |
24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Returns to the Flat after two heavy defeats over hurdles; ran below market expectations on last attempt under this code but is competitively treated on best AW/turf form. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Bumper winner who's regressed and only seen sporadically in recent times; came in for support over C&D last time, though, and worth considering down another 3lb in first-time headgear. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Won a bumper in 2021; 0-9 under Flat rules and absent 352 days before soundly beaten in his two runs (upped to 1m6f, then 2m) this summer; some 2022 form reads well but he has questions to answer at present. |
