27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Catterick maiden winner (7f, soft) for Craig Lidster a year ago and put some modest efforts behind him when gaining his first success for this yard over C&D last month; below that form back on turf at Nottingham 12 days ago with cheekpieces removed but back on here and may come into the equation. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Wetherby juvenile winner for Sam England last October (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); some fair form since, and an interesting contender after his 2l-third to Spartan Times (who is now 4lb worse off) in a C&D handicap two weeks ago. |

Landed a juvenile hurdle for Sam England last October; sold to join new yard for 1,400gns in February but finished last of ten to complete on stable debut at Stratford (2m, good) in March; hard to fancy. |

Got off the mark over C&D last time when having second AW attempt; has gone back up 4lb; unexposed on Tapeta so should go well again. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

6th 5 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden; good second over C&D in July (good); hasn't done as well over 1m/1m1f since; cheekpieces now tried; wouldn't rule him out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form on handicap debut when second of eight at Ayr (7f, good) in July; didn't back that up eight days later at this track (1m1f, good) and that race may have come too soon; gelded since and one to note. |
9/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced and it was his handicap debut in which he finished strongly for a close second over 7f at Ayr (good); handicapper has yet to react to that improvement, so he runs off the same mark here, and this could be more his trip. |

Off the mark in good style when winning a 7f Wolverhampton nursery by over 3l last month; went up 8lb and a bit disappointing at Southwell last time; could bounce back. |

Took a big step forward on his nursery debut when scoring readily from Maids Head at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago; up 8lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

9st 3lb |
Fair efforts in 6f handicaps on first two starts this year but a lesser run followed when back up to 7f at Redcar ten days ago; tackles an extra 2f this evening and her claims aren't compelling. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-21 but a few of her recent efforts, including when fourth of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (first-time visor) ten days ago, give her each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Formerly with Tim Easterby and now 0-20 after making it 0-5 for this yard when well held in a classified race at Southwell five days ago; switches to a visor. |

0-15 for Tim Easterby and beaten four times for new stable since December 29; latest effort was a bit better but she will need to raise her game again to take this. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Record is just 1-11 and his best form is on AW; inconsistent sort to boot and looks far from certain to take advantage of lower mark back on turf. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Chelmsford nursery winner (7f, Polytrack) for Amy Murphy late last year and ran his best race of this campaign when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; possible a stiffer test may suit him better, but still shortlisted from the same mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |

6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless but he's proving a reliable sort and comes here on the back of a good fourth of eight in 1m2f handicap at Haydock 24 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |
