17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race off a 12lb higher mark last season (soft); mixed form this season, but creditable third over C&D last time (soft) and having dropped a further 2lb, is a contender. |
9/1 |
|

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has had a regressive campaign but he showed some spark at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) two starts ago; two-time C&D winner on soft/good to soft so today's conditions will be right up his street; chance. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark. |
10/1 |

12th 16 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, last of 17 at Musselburgh on latest outing; needs to rediscover her spark. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
She's dropped back down to a dangerous mark but she struggled on her final three starts last season and did likewise on her reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago; a major turnaround is necessary. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f; has form over much further), in a productive 2025 campaign; effective at this track and not impossibly treated returning from 170 days off; one to consider. |

Recent Ripon winner but poor on either side of that and he has become hard to predict. |
25/1 |

13th 8 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Wins have all come over easy tracks in the spring/autumn on good or softer ground; won well at Ripon last weekend but was always well positioned from the rail draw and a 6lb rise looks plenty as he goes back up in class. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with a second at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last month but he failed to back that up over C&D (last of eight) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

6/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Regressive 5yo who has been unplaced all six starts for new stable this year; seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when fourth at Chester (5f, good) last month, having set a brisk pace, but was well below that form (albeit from a wider draw) there three weeks ago. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won off 4lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July and perhaps unsuited by softer going in two starts since; only had 12 races and couldn't dismiss. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Successful over 5f at Chester (5f, good) last July; also went close on his 2025 reappearance which provides hope that he may be ready to roll after seven months off; drawn widest. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Wildly inconsistent gelding who's drawn wide back down from 6f; little room for manoeuvre off this mark and it's hard to know what to expect as usual. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Can blow hot and cold but he popped up in a 5f handicap here last month and ran creditably from stall 1 at Chester ten days ago (6f, good); not sure he's got much in hand of his mark though. |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |
16/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Five-time course winner but finished behind Irish Dancer and Woodhay Whisper here last time, with no obvious excuses. |
