27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won over 2m here last March but nothing in two runs this season and there are stamina doubts; the return of a hood (fitted for that win) could help. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He's posted easy wins here this June (2m2f, good), August (2m1f, good to firm) and September (2m1f, good to soft); plenty to find with the form principals but can give another good account at his favourite track. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form figures in staying handicaps at this track this year read 211, the latest success coming by 5l over 2m1f (good) last month; heavy defeat on AW last time but respected back here. |

Has won two staying handicaps at Pontefract this summer and he nearly prevailed in a small field here in May; edging up the weights but he's having a productive spell. |

3rd 3 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Stayed on gamely to score at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January, her third hurdle win, and probably bettered that performance when close/clear second at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; competes off career-high mark here but still respected in current form. |
15/8 |

2nd 5 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Got on a roll last spring having joined this yard, winning at Ffos Las and Wetherby (2m4f/3m, good; cheekpieces) before clinching a Flat-race hat-trick at staying trips; brought her stable record to 6-11 when scoring at Leicester (about 2m4f, heavy) one month ago and holds leading claims once again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 9 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won two good-ground hurdles (2m4f/3m) and three consecutive Flat races during highly productive spell last spring/summer and bettered low-key reappearance run when respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; may yet have a bigger performance in her. |

Lowly rated Flat maiden who was pulled up when a big-priced outsider for both hurdle runs last season. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |

8st 11lb |
1-24, the win coming by a nose at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) over two years ago; 28-1 when second of five over C&D (Quercus Robur last) three weeks ago but that was a messy event and he'll need a bit more today. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Signed off for Ian Williams with two runner-up spots at this trip on AW in 2023; all starts on turf since and was second of seven at Catterick three starts ago; beaten 16l at Ripon (2m, good to firm; Lillistar just denied) last time; not entirely ruled out back on this surface. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |
14/1 |

4th 10 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |
