27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |
4/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid. |
7/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A three-time 1m winner in 2025 who posted another good effort when runner-up in 1m Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |
9/4 |

2nd 7 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-18; second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month before winning by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 17 days ago; looks a likely player returned to AW following a 1lb rise. |

9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f; inconsistent since sole win; his chance of taking advantage of a reduced mark partly depends on the effects of this return to 7f; record over this trip isn't fully conclusive. |

3rd 4 (8) |
14th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Picked up from Ed Walker for 60,000gns after winning a fillies' maiden on Polytrack in January; the tongue-tie returns tonight off the back of an ordinary handicap debut off this mark three weeks ago. |
25/1 |

7th 1 (7) |
21st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Ed Walker; two starts in fillies' races; showed ability over 7f here on debut before narrowly winning 1m Kempton maiden (runner-up won next time); subsequently sold for 60,000gns; this is a more competitive scenario for her, against male rivals, but she probably has more to give. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a 7f Carlisle nursery (soft) off a 13lb higher mark in August last season; ran one of her best races since then when third at Beverley last time (8.5f, soft); below par both previous AW runs (first after a break); bit to prove. |
8/1 |

7 (5) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Her sole success came on soft ground and she gave the impression this return to 1m would suit when a staying-on fifth of 11 in 7f Catterick handicap two weeks ago; possibilities. |

5th 2 (1) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 7f Carlisle nursery (soft) last August but has lost her way since; attracted support from a plummeting mark but never threatened when sixth of ten at Thirsk (1m, good) 11 days ago; has dropped a further 2lb but needs to show more. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Debut winner at Pontefract (5f, soft) early last season and knocking on the door on AW at Newcastle and Southwell (7f) later in the year; excuses for poor Chester run - drawn wide and hampered - latest but does need to bounce back in a newly applied hood; easing mark a plus. |
16/1 |

13th 11 (11) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since her debut at Pontefract last April but not disgraced given she was set a lot to do when a close eighth of 12 in 7f Newcastle handicap last month; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a winning debut at Pontefract (5f, soft) just over a year ago and went down only narrowly in two Tapeta nurseries in the autumn (the first over C&D); will need to step foward from her reappearance here in March, though. |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Showed best form in turf events in 2024; poor efforts this winter, taking AW record to 0-5; enough to prove. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

7.5f turf winner who is hard to recommend on anything she has produced since the start of last year; visor goes on. |
12/1 |
|
13th 6 (13) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Beverley fillies' maiden winner (7.5f, good to firm; 8-1) in August 2024; could strip fitter for recent Newcastle run (1m; last of six) which came after 166 days off; easing mark, plus the presence of a 7lb claimer, means she merits a market check. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible. |
100/30 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again. |
