16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins at Newcastle over the winter; his form has cooled more recently but today's return to Class 5 company will help and the cheekpieces return after being discarded last time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his 5f win at Newcastle on New Year's Day; three runs since have not been quite so encouraging though and he may prove vulnerable back up at 6f. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off six months and went without his usual cheekpieces when 11th over C&D two weeks ago; he scored twice at Ripon (5f) last May so no surprise to see him take a step forward here in refitted headgear. |
14/1 |
|
11th 2 (10) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came to hand early last year and he returns from a 168-day break off a mark just 1lb higher than for his Ripon win 11 months ago; the absence of cheekpieces tempers enthusiasm this time. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Wetherby (5.5, good to firm) last month and did well to finish fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday, having encountered all sorts of traffic; will be suited by this return to 6f; likely contender. |
3/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Proved resurgent with neck success at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) most recently and remains competitively treated on peak form, which features a C&D win; likely player from the inside draw. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in a 6f Newmarket maiden on debut 12 months ago but there has been little to celebrate since, including both runs for this yard; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
33/1 |
|
6 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Early promise in a 6f Newmarket maiden last August but he hasn't approached that form since and failed to beat a rival on handicap/trainer debut at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) in June; needs lots more back at 6f. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His standout effort came at Newmarket on his debut last August (6f, good); well held since and sold for 1,600gns last month; looks on a tough mark moving into handicaps. |
