29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |

2nd 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Recorded a comfortable win under Rebecca Hitchen, who was unable to claim, at Redcar (1m, good) last week on second start for new stable; rider can now use 5lb allowance, which offsets a penalty; scored over 7f very early in career; this in-form 9yo commands respect. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
5-43, with his latest win coming off this mark at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; posted a solid effort when third of 12 over that C&D on stable debut under Rebecca Hitchen 33 days ago (raced wide); has won over 1m but he hasn't won on turf since 2019. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won a classified event at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time visor) in January; held in three starts since, most recently in a classified 15 days ago; others make more appeal. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Two of these behind when springing a surprise over C&D in January (first-time visor, switched from cheekpieces); not as good since and is some way down the pecking order. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
All five wins on AW, with the latest three coming under Ellie Mayo (5f-1m); led for a long way but faded into third at Redcar (1m, good) 63 days ago; has the tongue-tie added and probably needs a strong pace to aim at over this trip (won his only previous start over 5f). |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
All five wins on AW, with the latest three coming under Ellie Mayo (5f-1m); well beaten over 6f in latest two starts but soft ground may not have suited at Carlisle 25 days ago; has something to prove in first 1m run for over a year; visor returns. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best run this season when 3.5l third to Giselles Izzy (11lb worse off) at Ayr in June (7f, good); hasn't fared quite so well when stepped back up to 1m on two starts since; back after a break; place chance. |
11/2 |

4th 8 (2) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
18-race maiden but he's run respectably in classified events on his last two starts (7f/1m); returns to handicap company with place claims. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but ran with credit dropped to this level for the first time when third of nine at Ayr, (7f, good) last time, shaping as though worth another go at this trip; a contender on form, but unraced on ground faster than good. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |
15/2 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner and has been shaping as though his turn could be near once more, going down narrowly the last twice at Wolverhampton (7f); can race keenly but if getting some cover from stall 4 he should be on the scene. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran C&D scorer who slipped in the weights in the second half of last year and arrives in fine form; runner-up in 14-runner event here last month; merits serious consideration. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who won this race last year and returned to form with a creditable second over C&D (Woodleigh fifth) 11 days ago; has possibilities off unchanged mark and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who gained most recently success in C&D contest (off 5lb higher) last May on second start of his 2025 campaign; reasonably interesting returned to this scenario with Thirsk reappearance under his belt. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

Just one placed effort from 30 starts and and he's struggled in three runs for new yard this spring; has lots to prove and he was withdrawn after bolting before the start at Beverley 12 days ago; stablemate of Recobella. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |
15/8 |
|
9 (4) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |
