23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second in this race last year before running out the ready winner of a 5f AW handicap at Haydock last May (good to firm) off a 1lb lower mark; made an encouraging return to action at Beverley 16 days ago; each-way shout. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Pushed the reopposing Smart Vision close at Doncaster last autumn; started last season well (including second in this race on reappearance) and should be on the premises if resuming in similar form. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Ran well when second over C&D (soft) last month; respectable efforts twice since but this first experience of heavy going needs to prompt some further progress. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Prominent-racer; did well for this yard last year, winning at Thirsk in May and running several good races in defeat, notably when best of the stands' rail group in the Great St Wilfrid over C&D; he needs to leave his low-key seasonal return well behind if he is to feature today though. |
33/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prominent-racer; did well for this yard last year, winning at Thirsk in May and running several good races in defeat, notably when best of the stands' rail group in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon; 1lb lower today and a big run could be forthcoming. |

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. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |
14/1 |
|
9 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins at 5f and 6f, the latest off this mark in September; big prices and well held in four sprints here for new yard and, although this is a drop in grade, he may be best left until back on grass. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three turf wins but 0-9 on AW and he's been well held here (5f/6f) in all three runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but this is competitive and others are more convincing; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Won a 16-runner Curragh nursery (7f, good) for Joseph O'Brien in September last year, but has regressed since, especially in six starts since returning for this yard in July; look elsewhere. |
