30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time. |

6th 1 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three course wins over 1m4f last year and she kept on for a good third over 1m6f here last time, providing optimism that this trip will be within range; there's every chance she'll be in the mix. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fine track record although her four wins have all come at 1m4f; both goes over C&D looked to just stretch her last year but she did plug on when fourth here (1m4f) a fortnight ago and can never be ruled out at this place. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got back on the scoresheet when making virtually all for a narrow success at Wetherby (1m2f) last month; finished a tailed-off last of five at Nottingham seven days later but that may have come soon and it was an experiment at 1m6f; now drops back in trip and has claims if he can bounce back. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has won at 7f and twice over 1m2f, latterly last week when beating his three rivals at Wetherby (good to firm); stays 1m4f but unraced over this far. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Returns to his usual trip after finding 7.5f too short last time; however, perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there; visits Doncaster for the first time. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A two-time 1m2f scorer here this summer but he turned in a rare poor effort when eighth of nine here last time; possibly found that run coming too quickly though so still enters calculations. |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |

Won over C&D on good to firm in July and August and he was a close third six days ago on his only other visit to this track; ridden by Zak Wheatley in all but one of his races this season; considered in hot race. |

8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Bagged a fifth C&D victory in November and in good nick subsequently, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 11 back over C&D 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
6yo who has a regressive profile but he kept on into mid-division over 7f here (good to soft) three weeks ago and the return to 1m and more testing ground could be in his favour, with both wins having come on heavy going; interesting contender off an ever-falling mark. |
9/1 |

1 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his Irish wins on heavy ground and he produced a clear best effort for current yard on soft (now 9lb lower) when fourth of nine at Redcar last November; revival plausible when he returns to those conditions. |
