22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved to win two C&D handicaps early last year; looked capable of even better but not seen since; new yard (same owner) among the winners and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Finally got it together after a few costly defeats here when winning over C&D a month ago; Billy Loughnane, up for the first time that afternoon, retains the ride but he'll need a bit more upped 6lb. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

7th 6 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle 24 days ago; should give his running but others may prove better treated. |

2nd 10 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Trip and track no issue and he arrives on the back of a hard-fought win at Redcar two weeks ago (6f, good); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Over two years since his last success but he retains some ability and begins life with his new stable off a lowly mark (left Julie Camacho for £7,000 last month); others appeal more. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in June 2023 but that was off 12lb higher at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and he's run several good races this season; wasn't beaten far with visor added at Southwell last time and he's in the mix back on turf. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained both wins at Newcastle in 2024; failed to beat a rival there in last two starts during a light 2025 campaign; drops in class but doesn't look the percentage call. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (8) |

8th 5 (8) |
31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed little on his last three starts in 2024 but there was a bit more promise in his C&D third 17 days ago (finished ahead of Show Me Show Me and Darlo Pride); visor swapped for blinkers today; not ruled out. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue. |
14/1 |
