18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
3-3 since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers, the latest win gained at Haydock (3m, good) in April; subsequent six-month break may have checked her momentum but today's drop back in trip should not be a problem. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) for Dan Skelton last August; hasn't quite matched that level for her current stable but has run respectably in defeat, latest when an 11l second at Newton Abbot in June; well handicapped but needs to raise her game. |

2nd 2 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when winning here for Dan Skelton last August; she's run some reasonable races since for this yard but was a well-beaten second of two finishers at Fontwell recently. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip. |
6/1 |

1st 2 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to peak form when moved back up in trip at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, justifying good market support in the process; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's not fully exposed over staying trips. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Went close off 1lb lower at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month; also suited by this track but now 0-33 over hurdles; others appeal more. |

2nd 10 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran fairly well for fourth at Hexham (2m7f, good) but that made it 0-35; not hard to take on. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when fourth from out of the weights in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March but was well beaten when tried in a visor in April (2m4f) and is now 0-31 over hurdles; sports refitted cheekpieces here; not the percentage call. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice in small fields at Huntingdon and Wincanton in the spring but beaten 55l over C&D (good) in May; needs a career-best in order to bounce back. |
8/1 |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent gelding on his favoured good ground, winning twice this year in small fields; beaten 9l into second in another last time but there's a big run in him. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In great form on good ground this spring, winning twice and running well in between; raised only a further 2lb for Wincanton performance (3m1f) last time; likely to remain competitive. |
