17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Off the mark for the season when winning a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago, suited by the strong pace; 3lb higher mark to contend with and his stamina isn't assured. |
100/30 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

Some return to form in his last two races and wasn't far away over 1m here last time when a stronger pace would have helped; interesting returned to further, having won over this far. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off. |

9st 10lb |
Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |

Excuses for two below-par efforts for current connections either side of his Pontefract second off a 2lb higher mark; holds each-way claims. |

11st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Retains plenty of vitality aged eight but completed his May/June four-timer in Class 6 and was soundly beaten when back up in grade last time; current mark leaves him in a difficult spot. |

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. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
In good form in similar races under under Charli Parker in recent months, following a win at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) with runner-up efforts at Catterick (1m4f, good; Austrian Theory third) and Ripon (1m3f, soft; Spirit Catcher fourth); likely to go well again if a three-day turnaround after Ripon doesn't catch up with him. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
In-form 6yo who won under Charli Parker at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) early this month before a creditable second in another amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off the same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid; cheekpieces reapplied. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chased home Stellarmasterpiece in this race last year having won a 1m2f amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract 12 days earlier; repeated his win at Pontefract 12 days ago and he should be in the thick of it again. |

18th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last year and has twice made the frame on the Flat for new stable this season, perhaps more notably when second to unexposed rival at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in May; encountered traffic there on both subsequent appearances and arrives here on a good mark. |
5/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Winning hurdler; 0-10 on the Flat but runner-up over C&D in May and was denied a clear passage back here three weeks ago; each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hurdles scorer; 0-9 on Flat but has steadily returned to form this term and ran well, clear second behind odds-on shot, in maiden handicap over C&D (good to firm) most recently; in the mix. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; shaped with quite a bit more promise than eventual 29l defeat might suggest when fourth on recent hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm); considered each-way. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Yet to make any further progress on the Flat since winning 9.4f AW nursery in December (RPR 68) but should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities if he takes to this game. |
10/1 |

8 (6) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

Keen from a wide draw but was beaten a little over 2l at Wolverhampton two months ago (9.4f); seems as effective on turf and can go well. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual Flat winner whose best hurdling effort came with the switch to handicaps when third at Southwell (2m, good) in May, but he failed to match that form when well backed at Warwick nine days later; latest Flat run is best overlooked and he has claims if reproducing the Southwell effort. |
8/1 |

9th 2 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Well below market expectations over hurdles last time (potential stamina issues but has never been the most consistent) and returns to the Flat on a handy mark; course winner as a 2yo (good to soft) and he's considered under Fletcher Yarham. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner; ran his best race in this sphere when third of ten finishers at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago on his handicap debut; has scope to improve further and should run well. |
4/1 |
