7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good spell culminated in an October double; form has dipped sharply since and he is due a 2lb drop in future; close second in sole C&D attempt but this is harder and doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Best to forgive reappearance effort (badly hampered); registered three wins apiece in 2024 and 2025 but needs to prove he can defy current mark. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |
13/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing sequence at Newcastle (1m) in January and largely in good form since, set a lot to do when fifth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m) 19 days ago; considered. |

In good form on the Newcastle AW this year but not at the same level back on turf here (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-11 on grass. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
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. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has added to his strong record over 7f at Catterick with a pair of runner-up efforts on good last month; successful on his fast-ground C&D debut, which was his only previous visit to Redcar; should go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His C&D record of 112153422 shows his affinity for the track and he made a pleasing return to action when second to the reopposing Evocative Spark here two weeks ago (pair clear); should make his presence felt again off an unchanged mark. |

3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Hold-up handicapper who won a 7f Wolverhampton handicap off a 7lb lower mark last month; two creditable efforts have followed but he will need to raise his game to defy this mark and stall 1 will mean he needs some luck in running too. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |
7/1 |
|
11th 9 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran away with a 0-70 handicap over C&D in November but hit with a 10lb rise and he has come up short in eight subsequent runs; now back to his last winning mark and cheekpieces return after being left off at Southwell ten days ago; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
10th 6 (2) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Below best this year, managing only sixth of eight in refitted cheekpieces (now removed) at Newcastle (7f) a fortnight ago, but he's effective over this C&D, well drawn and too well handicapped to rule out. |

9st 9lb |
Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good. |
7/2 |

8th 9 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Added to her Southwell novice win when landing a C&D handicap (good to soft) in October; well held in final run last season but she reappeared with a fair third at Wolverhampton last month; this is a deeper race but she's not ruled out back at this track. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent in maiden/novices on the AW at the start of her career (22221) and has since shown some good form in turf handicaps, including in headgear; off six months, but has gone well fresh before; considered. |

Saw off 14 rivals when narrowly winning over C&D last month (Class 6); also went close in a Class 6 at Leicester this month but either side of that he was unplaced in Class 5 events; others preferred for the win. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Battled well for narrow win at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; respected in current form. |

2nd 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Finally opened his account at Nottingham (1m) in April but failed to back it up when sixth at Ripon (1m) two weeks ago; needs to get back on track. |
