2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole success came in 1m Ayr classified event last July; off seven months and yet to fire this summer, eighth in 1m2f classified event at Ayr last time; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-18, that win in a newly applied visor here (1m, good to soft; 16-1) last July; finished sixth behind Golden Valour on return from six-month break over C&D latest; could strip fitter. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won a classified event here (1m, good to soft) last July and reached the frame in his next five starts; looks interesting on that form but he lost his way during the winter and has bit to prove after 198 days off. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |

10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

All six wins have been on the AW; two fair runs at Newcastle in June/July but well beaten on last three runs on turf; plenty to prove. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Six-time winner but unreliable in handicaps and classified races; not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) last month when back on turf and back down in trip and she followed up over 1m6f here; clearly thriving and has strong claims. |
9/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Newcastle in October and solid fourth there (also 1m4f, AW) in February; didn't stay 2m back at that track last month but a return to 1m4f did the trick when taking a course handicap (good) a fortnight ago; big player if her stamina lasts out. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October and close fourth there (1m4f, AW) in February; didn't see out 2m there last month; also effective on turf and she's one to consider now back down in trip. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ran as well as could have been expected in a Catterick maiden last week but that made it 20 unplaced efforts and she can't be recommended back in handicap company. |
100/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
19-race maiden who failed to beat a rival home in a Beverley handicap (8.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; drops back in trip and returns to a maiden; passed over. |
100/1 |

10th 8 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18; more realistic assignment today following last week's Ripon novice tilt, but preceding efforts in handicaps fall some way short of the required; work on from out of the weights. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-8 but was runner-up off 5lb higher at Chepstow (1m, good) in May and that was her sole handicap attempt; could go well returned to this type of race and she's unexposed on AW; first-time blinkers replace visor. |
10/1 |
|
10 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in May but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; ran respectably in classified event at Chepstow (fifth of 14) last month but she needs to find something extra to make the breakthrough. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No improvement for the drop to this grade at Yarmouth 18 days ago (1m2f, good), dropping away tamely; early days still and new cheekpieces could help; still not a solid option though. |
20/1 |
|
9 (9) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Second foal of a useful, well-related mare; offfered little in three AW runs over 7f in the winter; this is more realistic but would want to see market confidence back from five months off. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well beaten in two 7f runs on AW this winter; bred to do better at some point and this maiden lacks depth. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

13 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second start on turf when just pipped by Lunanova in C&D handicap (good to firm) on his comeback in May and got off the mark when beating 11 others in Thirsk classified (1m, good) last time; likely has more to offer on grass. |
5/1 |

12 (10) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden but he comes here on the back of a good front-running second at Brighton two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); strong claims with a repeat. |
4/1 |
|
5 (1) |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-8; best effort since handicapping came when third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) in February and he wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m, AW; got no cover) in March; off since and an unknown quantity in his first turf handicap. |
