12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner, from 7.5f to 1m4f, at Beverley; however, latest effort (here) doesn't suggest his old legs are crying out for this 3.5f drop back in trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who is 6-23 at Beverley, the most recent success last August in last 1m4f attempt; could go well returned to this scenario with Catterick reappearance (7f) under his belt. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from break with three down-the-field runs this year but his fourth of ten over C&D three weeks ago was a big step back in the right direction and he's another 2lb lower today; considered each-way. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-7 over C&D and 4lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and has beaten a total of one rival in three starts since returning from five months off in February. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who has been back in fine form of late, landing a pair of 7f handicaps at Catterick; up another 3lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |
7/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; placed at Yarmouth last Sunday; registered his most recent success off this mark over C&D in April; interesting back here. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner (good) last October; also runner-up off today's mark back here in November and could play a prominent role again if fully primed after 134 days off. |
11/1 |
|
12th 1 (10) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Useful in previous incarnation over longer trips; on handy mark now and after running fast for a long way over C&D (first 6f run) in September he won with plenty to spare at Musselburgh (7f; visor off) last week; the ability is there to make light of a 4lb penalty. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (11) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
4-15 at Beverley, with the wins all in Class 6; the most recent win was last month (8.4f) but he's taken two backward steps since and most form in the last two years suggests a supporting role. |
16/1 |

11th 11 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Successful four times at Beverley, all in Class 6, most recently on penultimate start; placed in Class 5 at Thirsk latest; could go well but this isn't his ideal grade. |

3rd 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four of his five wins have come at Beverley, the latest nine days ago (8.5f, good to firm); 4lb higher in a stronger race but as the only last-time-out winner in the field he has to come right into the reckoning. |

Bits of form for Richard Fahey but she finished down the field in two runs for Jack Channon in late 2025; sold for 1,000gns in January; upped in trip and tried in a hood on her stable debut. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Posted an improved effort when switched to handicap company at Carlisle (7f, soft) 29 days ago, shaping as if this extra half furlong would suit; unproven on quicker ground but remains capable of better. |

11th 8 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Scored off 2lb higher over C&D last April and was also on target off today's mark on turf last summer; ran well when fresh last year and has a fighting chance if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing. |
