29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been ridden by Rebecca Hitchen since joining current yard, posting form figures of 31216; hindered by wide trip in AW contest on reappearance most recently; could go well with that outing under his belt. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins for Rebecca Hitchen last summer; fine on Tapeta but returns from ten months off looking high enough in the weights and he's entitled to need the run at his age. |
12/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |

1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |
40/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |
5/4 |
|
9th 11 (12) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |

Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Opened his account in Newcastle handicap (1m2f; third run for new yard) most recently and looked value for more than the half-length winning margin; may have more to offer over middle distances; respected back up 5lb. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ran well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; not so good in either run since, the latest over C&D two weeks ago; not ruled out but not the most solid option either. |

9th 3 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Belatedly came good with two 1m1f wins last summer and looked back in prime form when close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but his latest run was slightly disappointing and others in the field have more persuasive profiles. |

Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |
