14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to his handicap debut at Lingfield three weeks ago (1m, AW) and he saw his race out well to reward odds-on backers; that was only a Class 6 event and he's been hit with an 8lb rise but the runner-up won next time and the form has some merit; still capable of better. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

Tough sort but has done his winning this year in Class 4, including at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time when taking record to 8-55; faces a tougher task back up two grades. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism over C&D in December; not in anything like the same form, beating a total of just one rival, in three outings since. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win from 22 starts came at Ayr (1m2f, soft) in July; below that level since; however, didn't get much luck in running over this C&D 13 days ago and holds place claims granted a clearer passage. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last month and her next start at Hamilton (1m, good) can be forgiven (saw no daylight); had no obvious excuse back at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time, though, and others are more persuasive. |
7/2 |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well-backed winner over C&D on July 6 (soft; subsequent winner Zebra Star a clear second) and a line can be put through her subsequent run at Hamilton (1m, good) as she was repeatedly short of room; in calculations. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, firm) on final start for Stuart Williams; sold for 35,000gns since, and begins life for new connections from a 5lb higher mark; has undertaken most of his racing over 7f-1m but does stay (runner-up over 1m2f last June); claims, even if career-best is required. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins at 1m and 7f for previous yard; 0-5 for current stable but he's threatening to regain the winning thread, beaten a short head at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last week when switched back to turf from AW; major contender off the same mark. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Took advantage of his career-low mark when beating Donna Nook at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; not so good at Thirsk last time and he is not the easiest to predict. |
9/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
He'd taken a healthy drop in the weights during an AW spell since December and was able to take advantage at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last week; ought to have another handicap in him off this 2lb higher mark but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
