16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
His last turf success came over this C&D (good) but back in April 2022; this is his level now but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

8th 12 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Five-time C&D winner; unable to justify favouritism in a 0-55 here 11 days ago and he has more on his plate at this level. |
12/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five AW wins but losing run is mounting up; needs a fast pace to aim at and is slipping down the weights; likely to come good again one of these days. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Exposed 16-race maiden but he has twice finished second in minor handicaps this year, including on Tapeta; lacklustre run over C&D three weeks ago but each-way claims if anywhere near his best. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
15-race maiden but he went close when dead-heating for second at Southwell (6f, AW) two starts ago; below that level here over 6f last time and now steps back up in trip. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove. |
33/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins have come over 5f including here (good) in August; stays this far and handles soft ground but remains 4lb higher than for that latest success so a bit more is needed; stable also runs Canaria Queen. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Redcar (good to firm) last summer off 1lb lower; placed on softer than good twice after; has not hit the same heights this year but at 5f and 7f; should be at concert pitch now and a bigger run could be forthcoming. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Redcar last summer; runner-up twice afterwards but didn't offer any obvious short-term encouragement on 5f Catterick reappearance three weeks ago; first 7f outing since finishing last on her course debut in 2024. |
20/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Signed off 2024 with 6f Redcar victory but he's yet to fire this season, cheekpieces tried when last of eight in 6f Redcar handicap in July; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

1 (3) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (soft) off 2lb higher last October; he's made no impact in three runs this year but drops in class and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; good apprentice booked and a better showing is expected, especially if significant rain arrives. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |
7/1 |

3 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has returned to 6f for last three races and produced figures of 121; had his race won some way out here four weeks ago (on good) and should go well again despite the 6lb rise. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still 5lb below his last winning mark and was having only his third start for the yard when beaten a neck by a much better-fancied stablemate at Catterick (7f, good) eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that and no surprise if he steps up again; major player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (11) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D (for Declan Carroll) last July and he competes here from a 5lb lower mark; lacked the pace to challenge on first two starts for Ruth Carr (who also saddles Filey Beach) so stepping back up to 7f rates as a positive move; wide draw, yet still merits respect. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed bag for his former stable but he looked a cut above this level on occasions; joint-favourite for his stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk 19 days ago and ran on for a never-dangerous fifth; he will need to build on that effort to win here but that is not out of the question. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; had a few of today's rivals behind her when second of 17 at Thirsk 19 days ago, her first outing since November; promising apprentice takes off 7lb; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored at Hamilton (5f) last July but she ended 2025 with four below-par efforts; others are preferred on this occasion. |
