8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f so perhaps unwise to read all that much into last two defeats over 2m and 1m6f; not impossibly treated on his solid 1m4f form earlier this season, and last year's efforts included a 2l defeat in this (not seen to best effect) and a victory over Insanity at York (1m4f, good to firm); in the mix. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |

12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Front-runner; won at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May; second or third in small fields in all four runs since, with 2m1f failing to work out on latest but he was a good second over C&D (good to firm) the time before; player. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |
5/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |
4/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins; stays further than this but the trip shouldn't be an issue; ran as well as he ever has at Southwell in August last time (after a layoff) but this race will demand more. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
3-15 on AW (last two wins were at this track) compared to 0-4 on turf; in good form at 1m4f on AW initially this year, including a second under Taryn Langley; there was a dip in April when last seen but it's easy to see him returning in a major role for his in-form yard. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four Flat wins, including two (1m2f-1m3f) for Ian Williams; runner-up in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; potential over hurdles in novice and maiden company back in 2024, so he could be interesting on handicap hurdle debut; first start for Olly Murphy. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Britain for current yard since winning twice in France; however, beaten 21l at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month following five-month layoff and lacks the scope of his rivals. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Kempton 11 days later (10-1 at the time); now returns to turf after a break but he's a dual winner in this sphere and is versatile ground-wise; possibilities. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Landed a pair of 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract in June; not disgraced both runs since, coming in a close sixth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; this C&D winner is not out of things in a refitted tongue-strap. |

9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so. |
4/1 |

3rd 14 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 (over C&D) but runner-up in 1m handicaps here on his last two starts; can't be dismissed despite being 3lb out of the handicap. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 14 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when third in this last year and he returned to form when going close over C&D early this month; has a modest strike-rate but he can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed his fourth win at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June off 2lb lower; mainly creditable efforts since; soft ground may have been against him when below his best at Ayr last month, and he might have found the Redcar race ten days ago a tad too competitive; drops back in grade here. |

11th 11 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole success in last two seasons came at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; possibly unsuited by soft ground when fading into fifth of eight at Ayr two weeks ago; ran well the time before and may rebound. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |
