8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |

6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Out of form this season (four runs) and remains without a win since summer 2024; can't be recommended from out of the handicap. |
50/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have been over C&D (soft/good) but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been out of sorts in his three runs this season and needs a big turnaround; tongue-tie removed. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but last year was a struggle and he's been beaten 11l and 13l in his two runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival with tongue-tie reapplied. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
2-29; her best form is on soft, even heavy, ground; runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last October; hasn't offered much in four starts since, finishing seventh (two places behind Kyber Crystal) at odds of 50-1 at Carlisle latest. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have come on ground on the soft side of good, but she does handle good to firm; back off her last winning mark, but she finished over 20l behind Lady Bouquet on her Catterick reappearance 15 days ago; first-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Last season ended with two poor runs and she's without a win since October 2024; however, that came over C&D and her best performance last season also came here; not written off on her reappearance. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins came in 0-50 classified events in the summer of 2024, including one over C&D; not much to shout about over the past year, though, despite a declining mark; needs the visor to help stop the slide. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Won twice over 5f in the summer of 2024, including at this track; ran well on her seasonal return last April but it has been downhill ever since; 6f a query too. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual classified winner on a sound surface at 5f in 2024; went close in C&D handicap (good) on her comeback last term and not much went right in that same race on her reappearance a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing when down the field in this race last year but not without a squeak this time. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Knocking on and been patchy since returning from a break, finishing well behind Kipp Kelly at Wolverhampton, then behind Desert Master here six days ago; others are more likely. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Welcome signs of a revival when third over C&D in January but failed to fire at Wolverhampton three weeks ago (drawn wide); not a solid option. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3lb lower than when winning at Catterick in April (5f, good); mainly disappointing since, although was only 2l behind Barmyblade (5lb worse off) when third at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well drawn and a possible. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (16) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner last summer; landed a 5f handicap at Catterick off a 2lb higher mark in April but he hasn't come close to replicating it in six runs since; capable if breaking on terms but he carries some risk. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f) in April; below form since until hinting at a revival with fifth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap one week ago, despite being very slowly away; this C&D winner needs considering. |

21st Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
The bulk of his winning has been on AW but he is effective on turf and ran okay over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago; this isn't a strong race and he's not ruled out with Tom Marquand booked. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |
