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. |

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. |
5/2 |

2nd 8 (9) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Newcastle; has been below his best of late and has had his second bout of wind surgery since his last run; hard to fancy. |

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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

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. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from break with three down-the-field runs this year but his fourth of ten over C&D three weeks ago was a big step back in the right direction and he's another 2lb lower today; considered each-way. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-7 over C&D and 4lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and has beaten a total of one rival in three starts since returning from five months off in February. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally very consistent over 7f last season but disappointed over that trip on recent seasonal debut and may find 6f here a bit sharp. |
10/1 |
|
10th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Scored over C&D last July and in good form after until finishing only eighth in 7f Redcar handicap on his final run; this reliable sort can't be discounted despite a six-month absence. |
10/1 |
|
1 (9) |
17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Beaten favourite in similar event over C&D last time and is still on career-high mark but remains in a very consistent vein of form that now reads 23313323 since April; solid. |
7/2 |
