3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

5th 6 (10) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 11 times since his last win in August 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and was a fair fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago on his first run since wind surgery; could be in the mix. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 4yo who held on well to make all at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; should be okay back on turf and recent 3lb rise is offset by Laura Coughlan's claim today but he's very unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
5/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has registered most wins on AW but ran creditably last Saturday when bidding for a Thirsk (1m) double; this 8yo remains in form and is still well treated on historical data. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, slowly away when sixth of eight in 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton last November; 2025 has been a struggle but he's eligible for this lowly level as a result and today is the first time he hasn't been apprentice-ridden in over two years; risky but not impossible. |
