26th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was placed in novice and maiden races on turf/AW last autumn; however, she's finished down the field in her three handicaps (7f/6f, AW) and needs to raise her game. |

Didn't progress last backend, finishing well held in a couple of handicaps latterly; needs to improve if she's to take this back from four months off. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Hamilton in September (6f, good to soft and soft); not so good twice since and likely vulnerable at this level. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Back to 6f when winning successive Hamilton handicaps in September (good to soft/soft) and it was a belated return to 5f when below par last time; however, this is a tougher grade than she's accustomed to. |
8/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Benefited from the return to 6f of late, winning both starts here (good to soft and soft); flying high but has a penalty to carry in a better race back over 5f for the first time since her debut; still not ruled out. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Last win was at stiff Carlisle and he was runner-up over C&D earlier this month when prominent throughout; that was on soft ground and he's off the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his first 6f success when making all in an amateur riders' event at Carlisle in June; not so good since but this return to a Class 6 will be in his favour. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month; creditable fourth over 6f here next time but below par back at Carlisle 19 days ago; former C&D winner but has yet to defy a mark this high. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18 and entitled to have run better than he did at Ayr last time (7f; handles soft); had been running quite well, though, and cheekpieces now replace a visor. |
6/1 |

4 (6) |
6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Losing run is mounting up; however, has proved consistent in the last two months and latest effort can be marked up (met traffic issues); defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2023 and enters the reckoning. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

In first-time blinkers when beaten under 5l in a 7f Redcar handicap last time, where he weakened after racing prominently; still early days. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has potential in his pedigree; yet to threaten, including on last month's handicap debut here, but was sent off at just 5-1; wears first-time blinkers and interesting to see if his backers return. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable veteran who has won 17 races, all on the AW, ten of them here; won three times last year, so still capable of a good showing but usually needs the run when returning from a summer break. |
33/1 |

10th 9 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who caused a 80-1 surprise over C&D four weeks ago following a six-month break, making all to notch his 12th course success; isn't certain to have things his own way in front this time but can't be dismissed off 2lb higher. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
