31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |
16/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Beaten favourite when third to Max Of Stars over C&D 17 days ago but still ran creditably and that followed Flat and hurdles wins in September; tough, reliable and unlikely to be far away. |

Yard been quiet for a while and this longstanding maiden didn't achieve much when fourth over C&D nine days ago; will need to improve a deal on that. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three of wins have been at this track (two over C&D) but the latest was over two years ago; reported to have finished lame when a respectable fifth here 46 days ago; often slowly away but he holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have come at Newcastle but the latest was nearly two years ago; usually blows the start and not sure he is in the form required to exploit his reduced mark. |
20/1 |

3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Third at Haydock in May on final run for Tom Tate and he's of interest on that form; didn't run badly when sixth of seven at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago on second stable start but needs something extra. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |
|
2 (8) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |
|
6 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career. |
50/1 |
|
5th 3 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f, including on good, when with Kevin Ryan (RPR 75); 66-1 and pulled up (vet reported he had bled from the nose) on his hurdles and stable debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in February; tongue-tie now fitted; bit to prove. |
10/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Kevin Ryan (good/good to soft), the latest at Haydock in September (1m3f; RPR 75); sold for £12,000 in October; may make a hurdler but he might be best watched on his jumps/stable debut. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has taken quite well to hurdling in recent weeks, finishing fourth at Worcester (2m, good to soft) and Kelso (2m, good); may have to settle for another minor prize here, though. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted. |
10/1 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ridden last six starts by Poppy Wynne, first past the post at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) last July but disqualified for whip offence; solid sequence continued but there may be a question over his readiness today after a break; market may guide. |

The last three of his ten wins were last May-September (two over 1m4f then one at 1m6f) and he's 6-18 at Catterick, unraced here since two placed efforts in 2020; well beaten at three other tracks this term but he's now back to his last winning mark. |
