2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

Way down the weights now but hasn't won since October 2024 (C&D) and had a quiet end to last season. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |
16/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |
100/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; fairly useful at his best (1m-1m3f) but his form for Mike Smith since last summer has been disappointing, and the soft ground is a big worry on this hurdle debut; cheekpieces removed. |

Frankel filly who is a five-race maiden; mixed results on turf but has produced solid efforts in Newcastle handicaps (1m/1m2f) since switched to AW; major player on ratings back at novice level. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Better effort when a front-running fourth at Newcastle last week (1m); returning to 7f no problem but others appeal more for win purposes. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Winless since his 2yo days; went close off 4lb higher here in March (7f) but he hasn't matched it in six runs since; stamina not proven. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has gained both wins (7f/1m) on good to firm; grabbed third place on line over 6f for an encouraging reappearance effort and looks interesting back up in distance, with further improvement still a possibility. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Winless for previous yard but he won his first two turf starts for this one in 2025, over 1m at Windsor and 7f at Newbury (both on good to firm); it's possible that good to soft ground proved his undoing when last seen in August but a layoff since raises questions as does the return to 6f. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |
|
10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
