20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five of his wins have come at Newcastle; it has been a long time since the last of them but a second wind op seemed to do the trick earlier in the year, finishing second at Chelmsford and over C&D; absent since March but he has to be taken seriously off his lowly mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His mark continues to fall and he has lots of good form on soft and heavy ground; won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but this 9yo has struggled more recently and he needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
5 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won narrowly off his lower AW mark in March; returned from layoff with down-the-field AW run this month but combination of refitted cheekpieces and heavy rain could prompt a more dynanic performance. |
14/1 |
|
13 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won by a head at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but he's been off since finishing down the field over C&D behind Saisons d'Or in May; best watched. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Made all to win a 7f classified stakes at Newcastle 11 days ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; below best in two previous runs over this trip (has won at 1m). |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2023 (all three of his wins came in 2023); struggled on his first two starts since returning from a 296-day break but he ran better at Newcastle (1m, AW) 28 days ago; blinkers removed. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11yo who made virtually all to win at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; unplaced on both starts since but he failed to settle and was denied a clear run here on the first occasion; has won here three times; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his first 6f success when making all in an amateur riders' event at Carlisle in June; not so good since but this return to a Class 6 will be in his favour. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month; creditable fourth over 6f here next time but below par back at Carlisle 19 days ago; former C&D winner but has yet to defy a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts. |
