3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over C&D in the autumn of 2024; not running badly when last seen but he returns from six months off and likely vulnerable. |

4th 8 (2) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Five-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; will appreciate this ease in grade but has been out of form since returning from a break in June; needs to turn things around. |
10/1 |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Scored twice over 7f here in 2025; got back on track with second of 13 in 7f handicap at Beverley three weeks ago; up 2lb but very much one to consider. |
9/2 |

2nd 10 (4) |

3-22 on the AW (wins have been at Newcastle over 7f) compared to 1-27 on turf; has been shaping as if she's in form in recent starts and once again has each-way claims. |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |

8th 10 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No problem if the ground eases further having won on soft ground over C&D in June, but he is just 2-38 and has a mountain to climb from 13lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Sole win from 23 turf starts came over C&D in June; two good efforts in his next two course starts (on good and good to firm) but his finishing effort was muted over C&D nine days ago; in the thick of it on the earlier form. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (1) |

C&D winner on soft ground in June and has continued to run well, last time back over 7f and just ahead of Ajrad; another solid candidate to consider. |

21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Showed a bit of promise here (5f) on sole 2yo start; well held in both 3yo outings but this Boughey representative looks the type to improve now handicapping at a modest level; bred to stay the new trip; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively. |

Longstanding Flat maiden who is 0-5 over hurdles; beaten about 9l last time at Hexham but she's unconvincing. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Unexposed as a hurdler, but was 26l behind Superaudaciaheros over C&D eight days ago (good; 100-1). |
33/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed on her first two starts over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good) but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham last month, where the 2m4f may have stretched her stamina; a 3lb drop helps, but she still has something to prove. |
