14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time AW scorer who opened his turf account in Redcar contest (1m, good) on penultimate start; respectable third, despite not getting the clearest of runs, at Newmarket latest; remains in form. |

3rd 11 (2) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four 1m AW wins earlier this year and he's run really well in this headgear combination on turf on his last two starts, coming from the rear to win with authority at Redcar (1m, good) last Tuesday; unexposed on grass and he's ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; key player. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing on the AW, winning five times at 7f/1m; was having only his third turf run when a good second at Newmarket on latest start last month (1m, good to firm; wore today's combination of headgear for first time), keeping on well after starting slowly when his blindfold came off late; interesting. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |

9th 17 (14) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has form over 1m2f but was below par (behind Westernesse) returned to this trip last week when bidding for a Ripon hat-trick; still seeking first success beyond 1m. |
20/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m handicap wins here recently; up 3lb but he's effective at this longer trip and not taken lightly in his current mood. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Just two wins in 34 starts and he hasn't been in great form on the AW, which usually brings out the best in him. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins from 33 starts; third of 11 in a C&D classified event in January but he's not been at that level back here on his last three starts; cheekpieces, worn last time, are retained. |

10th 5 (8) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

The odd encouraging effort this winter but he hasn't been at his best on his last two starts; connections now turn to cheekpieces. |

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. |

9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

2nd 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Has won three 6f events on AW since August, one here; last run at Pontefract forgiven as he was drawn wide but he was also below par here the time before when behind Mount Ruapehu. |
8/1 |

13th 11 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who has won three 6f events on AW since August; not at his best at Southwell last month and he has a wide stall to overcome returned to 5f. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |
