25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Tailed off on last month's reappearance in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but may have needed the run and those ridden more patiently came to the fore; he won three times last year (1m1f/1m, soft/good) and it will be no surprise if he leaves that latest performance miles behind. |
10/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate in the second half of last season featured wins in lower grades at Carlisle (1m1f; twice) and Leicester (1m, soft); faces a stiffer assignment off career-high mark at this level, however. |

9st 9lb |
Only turf success was in a maiden over 7.5f here in July 2022 (good); fair efforts when placed on last two starts, latest over C&D (good); a possible. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Multiple AW scorer whose sole win from 23 turf starts came at this venue in 2022; creditable effort from her lower turf rating at Ripon last week and claims from same mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

5th 5 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Won three times last summer and ran well when placed subsequently; well held when tenth of 12 on his return at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago and is still 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

Lost his way last backend for Michael Wigham and has run poorly in two starts for this yard; best efforts have come on Tapeta and he isn't obviously fancied. |
