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. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
4-15 at Beverley, with the wins all in Class 6; the most recent win was last month (8.4f) but he's taken two backward steps since and most form in the last two years suggests a supporting role. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Successful four times at Beverley, all in Class 6, most recently on penultimate start; placed in Class 5 at Thirsk latest; could go well but this isn't his ideal grade. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four of his five wins have come at Beverley, the latest nine days ago (8.5f, good to firm); 4lb higher in a stronger race but as the only last-time-out winner in the field he has to come right into the reckoning. |

9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 below par and yet to hit top form this season, well held in 7f Catterick handicap last time; this course winner needs to take a big step forward. |
33/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |
25/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner but he ended last season with a poor effort in 7f Newcastle handicap; this veteran has gone well fresh though, so is no forlorn hope on his reappearance. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two of last summer's three wins came over C&D (good/good to firm) and she returned to form when third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Tuesday on her second start of the season; she's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three 7f handicaps (including here); 5lb lower than for the last of them and last month's return to action should have sharpened her up. |
4/1 |
|
8th 13 (14) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
She lost her form last autumn but won four times during a busy 2025, two of them over C&D (good/good to firm), and a break may have helped; she's 3lb below her last winning mark and could have a big say. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on turf but he's 0-16 on AW and he failed to beat a rival over 7f here last month; has something to prove again after that laboured effort and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Eight wins on turf but 0-15 on AW; latest fourth of 12 over C&D was creditable, but others hold more compelling claims. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; no show in two runs since returning to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024); steps back up in trip and headgear removed; market watch advised. |
10/1 |
|
8 (11) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5f AW winner in his first stint with Rebecca Menzies; sent off favourite for his return to this yard (trained in Ireland in 2024) last month but over-raced early and was never in contention; something to prove after that and a new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Last win was over C&D in May 2024 off 2lb higher mark; mainly kept to AW since and can start slowly; would hold claims if back on song. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Short-headed at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January and runs off 6lb lower here, but below best more recently and has to turn things around. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Only 3-35 so hard to win with and since going close on the AW in January she's lost her way; others preferred. |

|
11th 13 (10) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when third of seven to Profit Street over C&D 45 days ago; not discounted off an easing mark. |
