13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Made all at Ripon (6f, good) on last year's reappearance and ran well in defeat on next four starts (including over C&D) prior to two lesser runs to finish his campaign; returned to form with very close third of 16 in same Ripon race last month and this front-runner is an each-way contender. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (14) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; C&D winner on his seasonal return on this card 12 months ago; often ran well in good handicaps afterwards and although he ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts, he is likely to be seen to much better effect this time; should make a bold bid up the stands' rail. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Reliable and useful sprinter; won a Class 4 at Ripon (6f, good) on his reappearance and he's run well in defeat in some of the best 3yo handicaps since, latterly doing best of the far-side group when second at Newmarket's July meeting; a 2lb rise for that seems fair and he holds strong claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Absent since down the field at Doncaster (6f) five months ago on first run since rejoining Seb Spencer; perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 12 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Regressed for William Haggas before sold last summer; the handicapper is easing off so he should be easy enough to place in due course but he's done a lot of his racing over 7f and now returns from an absence; Novello Lad looks his trainer's best shout. |
16/1 |

8 (13) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing sequence but he's made a positive start for his current handler, sixth of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap 19 days ago; one for the shortlist eased 2lb here. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, including a 6f Hamilton win in May off the same mark as today; never involved in either start this year but his stable's good recent form provides some hope. |
14/1 |
|
13th 1 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, winning a 6f handicap at Hamilton last May off 2lb lower and ending his campaign with a second of nine at Newmarket; never in contention at Beverley on his return to action 16 days ago (7.4f, good to firm) and likely best watched for a yard having a quiet year. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned mostly over sprint trips and gained his Beverley win at 5f (also effective at 6f); close second at Newmarket when last seen but doesn't appear to be crying out for this step back up in distance. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him. |
8/1 |
|
1st 10 (13) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on his best form for Alice Haynes and he made an encouraging stable debut when a close third at Southwell three weeks ago; one to be interested in. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His two wins for Alice Haynes came over 6f but he wasn't beaten far dropped to 5f when last seen in October; sold for 40,000gns soon afterwards; on a handy mark ahead of his stable debut; goes without headgear; betting should guide. |

A fair 5f juvenile winner for Karl Burke but she arrives under a cloud, eighth in 5f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago; she has something to prove. |
7/1 |

8th 7 (10) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had some useful form as a 2yo but it's been tough going this time around; tailed off over 6f here when last seen in July; now wears cheekpieces for just the second time (runner-up in a seller when tried previously). |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |
|
12 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
6 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden but he had been threatening prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon three weeks ago; feasible mark if bouncing back. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both his wins have come on soft ground but he ran a cracker on good ground over C&D last week (cheekpieces first time), keeping on well behind an in-form sprinter; 1lb higher today but still a strong contender, especially with some rain in the forecast. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on soft ground and remains 7lb higher than for the latest; opposable under the likely conditions and the run may be needed; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Her 5f AW win in November hasn't proved a springboard to better things; returns from 112 days off with a point to prove. |

|
8th 4 (7) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in November but she has been unable to kick on from that in five runs since; drops into 0-50 company but others have less to prove. |
