4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Won at Wolverhampton (6f, Class 5; 6-4 favourite) in March but below that level in three subsequent starts, 2l fifth of eight at Musselburgh (5f; 15-2) latest; vulnerable on those performances. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who had edged her way down to a good mark before clearcut C&D (good) win 11 days ago; evidently in good nick but moves up from 0-55 grade today and recent 6lb rise might leave her vulnerable. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; two creditable fourth-place finishes this year; likely to give it another good go under suitable conditions. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
String of solid efforts for Ethan Tindall, including two wins, in the past nine months; on a career-high mark, having been nudged up another 2lb, but there was nothing wrong with his comeback effort at Pontefract early last month (5f); has to be considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Successful on AW in most recent 5f attempt and is far less exposed at this trip than 6f; however, he's rather in the deep end at this level returned to turf; yet to win above Class 4. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and won twice at Catterick last summer; never showed when beating only one rival over C&D when last seen in November; best watched for new trainer after break. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has run to form only once on AW but that did yield a C&D win last October; won 6f handicaps at Catterick this summer on two of his last three starts; lower mark in this sphere and can't be discounted. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Had 12 races for current yard and won two of them; never threatened to add another when beaten 16l only last week; that was after a break. |
9/1 |
|
14th 2 (15) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
8 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 below par and yet to hit top form this season, well held in 7f Catterick handicap last time; this course winner needs to take a big step forward. |
33/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |
25/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Course winner but he ended last season with a poor effort in 7f Newcastle handicap; this veteran has gone well fresh though, so is no forlorn hope on his reappearance. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has won three of his 34 races on turf, the latest off this mark at Musselburgh last August (7f, good); should come on for his reappearance run and a possible. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
He lacks a recent run and was below par more often than not last year; however, he reappears on a handy mark and, with his stable going well, it will be no surprise if this C&D winner is in the mix. |
12/1 |
|
2 (7) |
17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark at Musselburgh in August; couple of poor efforts since that win, however, and has proved far from consistent this year. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
8/1 |
