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. |

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. |

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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Prevailed narrowly in Beverley handicap (7.5f, good) last time, bouncing back to form and showing that his old legs can still operate successfully; 1-1 at classified level; shortlisted. |

Two close calls over C&D in 2025; in the frame four times this year but soundly beaten here recently and others higher up the list. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Losing run is mounting up; however, well treated on best form and last few efforts (432) suggest her turn may be near; runner-up at Thirsk (7f) latest; not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |

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. |

All eight wins have been on turf; down to an attractive mark but his AW record of 0-19 is offputting. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-18 on AW but handles the surface and he arrives on the back of a solid 7f run at Catterick last month; each-way shout. |

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. |

9st 0lb |
Her last win was at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 12 months ago; hasn't made a serious impact this season but not beaten far at Brighton last time and is now 6lb lower than for her last success; could be dangerous back on AW. |
12/1 |

8th 11 (11) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner who has finished fourth in classified events on the AW on her last two outings, albeit she did have a wide trip over C&D last time; returns to handicap company with place claims. |
