1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins and four placed efforts from 12 visits to Newcastle; he has been in fair form this year and his latest Redcar effort wasn't as bad as the distance beaten suggests (third of the seven to race stands' side); big run on the cards back here. |
11/4 |

8th 12 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Notched a fifth success of 2025 in this contest; made the frame for the fourth time this season with fourth of 14 in 1m Southwell handicap 15 days ago; well in the mix once more with cheekpieces reapplied. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |

Five wins on AW but 0-25 on turf; beaten in a classified event at Ayr when last seen and others are more appealing. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; will appreciate this ease in grade but has been out of form since returning from a break in June; needs to turn things around. |

12th 13 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Sole appearance here resulted in breakthrough win over this trip back in 2023; no subsequent wins until he rewarded good support at Ripon (1m) last May then went back-to-back over that C&D (also good) the following month; proved a disappointing favourite back at Ripon when last seen 443 days ago; heed the market signals on this comeback/stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (12) |
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. |

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. |
25/1 |

6th 10 (3) |
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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's won twice under Rebecca Hitchen, most recently when reverting to hurdles and defying a first-flight blunder at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; just 3lb higher today and in the mix if producing another good run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Modest fifth over hurdles at Cartmel in July and a similar story back on the Flat twice since; Rebecca Hitchen's 10lb claim is helpful from a handicapping perspective. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
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). |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Garnered a remarkable seventh AW 6f victory of 2026 at Newcastle in March but off since his last of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap in April; this tough front-runner needs to hit the ground running after the layoff. |
33/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
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. |

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 |

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. |
