25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |
9/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
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. |
14/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

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

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims. |

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. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last season, the first a dead-heat over C&D in July (good to firm); rather patchy form this season, best run when third at Pontefract in April (1m, good); a possible on second run back after wind op. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Had wind surgery (his third) since last run; form at Pontefract features a success last August (off 2lb higher; one of three wins under Charli Parker) and best effort this season; record of 0-19 when racing above Class 6 is the negative. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |

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 |
|
7 (8) |
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. |
20/1 |

3 |
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 |
10st 2lb |
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 |
