20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |
9/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 7f winner in 2025 for Ann Duffield; returned with very good placed efforts in 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring and not out of things starting out for another new yard here. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who is a C&D winner and added another AW success at Southwell (7f) last July; ended 2025 with a good third back at Southwell (7f again) in October; formerly trained by Ann Duffield; claims if ready to roll after five months off. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All wins for former yard came over 6f but he does stay this longer trip; didn't run badly on last month's stable debut but others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around but he wasn't beaten far at Carlisle 11 days ago and cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around, typically blowing the start, but it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue were he to bounce back in this company. |
8/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Not one to rely on but he hinted at a revival with fifth of nine over C&D 16 days ago; a three-time C&D scorer so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner on soft ground, the latest off a 6lb higher mark in October 2024; plenty of sound runs since (placed over C&D on four occasions); each-way chance. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Has form at different tracks but may be ideally suited by Catterick and, back away from that venue, his consistent spell ended last time; no win since 2024. |

9st 4lb |
Second to an in-form subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) last month and again ran well when close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) nine days ago; remains on a workable mark; must be considered. |

3rd 6 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

On the go since the turn of the year but largely in good nick and he came second of nine in 7f Ayr handicap three weeks ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

Three C&D wins, the latest in September off a 2lb lower mark; that race panned out perfectly though and latest Wolverhampton effort suggests he is vulnerable. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |
