17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Exposed seven-time winner; last win in July was off 3lb lower and when partnered by a 5lb claimer; good third last time at Thirsk when not helped by the drop back to 7f, but others are more tempting. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only six ran when he won over 1m here in August (Class 5) and he has come up short in Class 4 events twice since; others may have his measure back at 7f. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now. |
33/1 |

10th 4 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

Only win was in a Thirsk selling handicap in July 2024 when trained by George Boughey; decent C&D third after a break last month, but not so good since. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Picked up a Thirsk selling handicap (1m, good to firm) in July 2024 on his final start for George Boughey; that remains his only success in 22 starts, however; career-low mark but the percentage call is to look elsewhere. |
7/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Has done his winning at 7f-1m but recent form features two encouraging efforts over 1m2f (turf/AW); long losing spell remains a cause for concern, however. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in August 2022; on much reduced mark and was creditable third at Beverley (1m2f; tongue-tie added) in July but he was beaten 13l at Ripon last time and that took his losing run to 20; down the list. |
12/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Much lower in the weights than for the latest of five wins in 2022 and ran well when third of 14 behind a couple of dead-heaters (including Star Start) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time; each-way claims again despite a losing run of 19. |

8st 9lb |
A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

9st 1lb |
Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance. |

In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |
