22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings were on last two outings but his turf form still needs improvement. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Something amiss on sole start here (2024); very busy since and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW (which has dominated career) and his turf form needs improvement. |
20/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer who posted four wins in the second half of last year, including a C&D defeat of Charging Thunder on good; suffered a heavy defeat on AW last time but it was in a strong Good Friday race at Newcastle and Charging Thunder was once again behind him; a bold show seems likely in these much calmer waters back on turf. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Had a bit so spare when seeing off ten rivals in a 1m4f Southwell handicap last week; has a bit of class for this level and he's likely to make another bold bid. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |
22/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |
3/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |
11/4 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins this summer, at Salisbury in July (1m2f, good to firm) and over C&D 19 days ago; hit with a 5lb rise but still feasibly weighted. |
100/30 |

1st 3 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in). |

9st 1lb |
Not disgraced on his first start since wind surgery when fourth of seven at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, but is just 1-23 and hasn't threatened in just four outings on turf. |

Below par the last twice and it's nearly two years since sole win; however, beaten under 1l in last two C&D attempts and he's on an attractive mark back here. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 6lb lower than for his two turf wins last May, but he's finished down the field in last six starts and last three have been at this track (1m2f/1m4f); others preferred. |
