23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Two wins on AW but 0-17 on turf; second and third over C&D in the spring off slightly higher marks than this, before lesser efforts elsewhere on last two outings; well treated if back on song. |

Two wins on AW but 0-16 on turf; twice placed at Pontefract this season but he needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Ripon (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner who scored over C&D last month but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; looks weighted near his best and others are more persuasive. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |
18/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; return to this trip should suit, but she is 0-9 on turf and a few of the others make greater appeal. |
8/1 |

5th 7 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Her three course wins have come over a mile, the latest when beating Dosman (runs in the 3.00) in February; slightly disappointing here four weeks ago but she is back against her own sex and not handicapped out of things. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D novice winner in 2023 and he made a winning start for this stable at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; respected following a 3lb rise with the visor now replacing cheekpieces. |
5/4 |

7 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Winless since landing a 1m novice on Newcastle AW in 2023 but the pick of his Tapeta handicap form since shows he's well treated on yard debut; left the Barrons for £11,000 since last seen; likely to be dangerous if taking to Polytrack. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four C&D wins, including when justifying favouritism in January 2025; in reasonable form on turf this time last year (from marks in mid 60s) but has lost his way since then, tumbling down the handicap; latest Ripon fourth (beaten 8l) isn't enough to tempt. |
7/1 |

4th 8 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has four wins on Newcastle AW but is only 1-19 on turf; never figured on return to turf when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good) in cheekpieces (left off here) last month; needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Last of his five wins came 15 months ago and he struggled after close fourth over C&D (good to firm) in August; falling mark a help if he can stage a revival after three-month break; market check advised. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

2nd 7 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |

8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |

7th 8 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Regular 1m placings here and at Southwell since September; form dipped on latest outing, however, and there's been no win since August 2024. |
