5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

taken down early, made all, took keen hold, switched to far side soon after start, going best 2f out, ridden and faced challenge final 110yds, kept on well towards finish, just did enough |

2nd 3 (1) |
5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
No match for the winner but still showed considerable promise when runner-up at 3-1 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in July; this Middle Park entry could be sharper for that outing and he's one to consider today. |
4/1 |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
115,000gns foal and brother to useful 7f performer Night Raider; failed to justify favouritism at Redcar (6f, good to firm) but ran well in finishing clear of the rest behind Diablo Rojo who was a respectable sixth in Wednesday's Acomb; stepping up to 7f looks an obvious move. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last July; terrific battling performance when short-headed at Redcar (7f, soft) in October and he again took second when failing to get run of the race in Esher Cup at Sandown (1m, good) on seasonal/handicap debut; up 4lb but it looks as if he'll stay and is capable of better for sure. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last July on second start and returned from break with short-head second in Redcar novice (7f, soft) last October; has potential off his opening mark, especially now back up in trip. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Unexposed filly who ran a fine race over 7f here on her 2yo debut; didn't feature in two handicap runs last autumn but the ground was soft on both occasions and there were other mitigating factors too (6f too sharp at Hamilton and poor draw at Pontefract); too soon to write her off and drying ground would be beneficial. |
20/1 |
|
4 (8) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has shown ability over 7f while shaping as if this drop in trip will suit on handicap debut; returns from layoff with tongue-tie applied; open to improvement; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
26th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Shaped nicely over C&D on debut last September and her sole subsequent run possibly came too soon after that; has a useful pedigree and should progress this term; high on the list. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
9/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Down to a basement mark but this 11-race maiden has been struggling to get competitive this year and others make greater appeal. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-5 when trained by William Haggas and he struggled in five starts for Camilla Poulton; headgear removed on his first start for 71 days and he is worth a market check on his first outing for Tony Carroll. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor form in four starts for this yard; steps back up in trip off a reduced mark but it is easy enough to look elsewhere; new visor replaces blinkers here. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (1m4f) in April and backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m6f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; in the mix once more. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat. |

1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had a couple of near misses on Tapeta in the spring and his form has taken off on turf since, winning 6f handicaps at Carlisle (twice) and Doncaster; came up short under a penalty back at Carlisle three weeks ago but still ran creditably in second; hood added today; shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive gelding who has won three of his last four starts, including a Class 5 over C&D (good) last Tuesday; has a penalty for that last-gasp win but he did well to overcome trouble and that made it 2-2 at Carlisle; respected. |
9/4 |
|
9 (3) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win in May been well advertised since and he duly defied a 9lb rise next time; again pulled hard when well held off this mark a few weeks ago and it's possible he's hit his ceiling unless consenting to settle better. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; having only his second run on the AW (fair effort on first occasion) and his first run at beyond 1m2f so has plenty to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up twice at this venue (including this trip) last term; needs to be in better form than he was at Beverley last week (seventh of nine) but it's possible that refitted blinkers will give him a lift. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-race maiden who has frame possibilities on several pieces of form, including a couple of second-place finishes at Musselburgh last term and fourth-place finish on AW reappearance. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Struggled in his three 2yo runs in the autumn; market springer on handicap debut over C&D (cheekpieces added) last Monday but he finished a tailed off last off ten; blinkers are now tried and he needs to leave his previous form well behind. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (5) |
23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Modest form at big prices in the autumn but he's well connected and may do a lot better now handicapping over a trip that should suit; has been gelded and now wears cheekpieces; worth market check. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (10) |
9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
