Won a Pontefract handicap on Flat in April 2025 (1m4f, good; modest form); hasn't run as well since, including on both starts this year following a 380-day break; hurdles debut. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who finished runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Pontefract (1m4f, good) in the spring; looks interesting on that form but he's finished a well-held fifth in last two starts and is now 0-11. |
13/2 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-10 overall, with two seconds in the spring and one was on Tapeta but he's been tailed off in two Polytrack handicaps; close third in a four-runner race on turf on penultimate start, setting a steady pace, but heavily beaten when trying 1m6f on latest outing; none too solid. |
11/2 |

0-9 and was just behind Laser Focus when third of four runners at Lingfield (1m3f, good to firm), despite having the run of the race there; same mark for this. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner at 1m3f-1m4f but has yet to replicate that form over hurdles, being soundly beaten in both completed starts, on good ground; may do better in time but can only be watched at present. |
50/1 |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Began this season with two perfectly respectable 1m6f runs last month (good/soft) and continues to edge down the weights but his last win was in 2023 and he's not the percentage call in this field. |
20/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A veteran who is without a win since September 2023; good weights chance on last season's best but he ended the year with a modest effort; handles good ground but rarely seen on a faster surface. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual bumper winner and looks capable of winning on the Flat, coming from further back than the winner when second over 1m4f here in April; should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newcastle and enters calculations. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |
100/30 |

1st 4 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Sprung back to life off his reduced mark to beat 13 rivals over C&D a month ago; only 2lb higher and he's not had a lot of racing. |

26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and he made it 0-11 when dropped back to 1m and merely fifth at Southwell (AW) last time. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Dropped 26lb in the weights in six runs for new stable since February; perhaps the addition of blinkers will help but she's not a solid option in her current form. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came for Richard Hughes in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f; 11-8 favourite) in July 2023; hasn't offered much in five starts - over a range of distances (1m-1m4f) - for this yard; competes from an easing mark. |

Novice winner here (9.5f) for Richard Hughes in the summer of 2023, but has shown little since returning for this yard in February; the outside stall won't help his cause either. |

No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |

Debutant by Nathaniel out of a dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to winners La Pantera (6f), Clara Zetkin (6f/7f) and Hija (2m/3m hurdle); others are more appealing. |
