22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's 8lb lower than when a close third on his reappearance at Pontefract in June but has been disappointing since; soundly beaten (hampered at start) on AW debut at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) on Saturday. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs have been on turf and both wins were in maiden/novice events at Ripon last summer; reappeared with a good third at Pontefract (5f, good) in June but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 8l at Ripon last time; others preferred. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive on turf in early summer before things didn't pan out his way in first-time blinkers (removed) round Chester when last seen two months ago; quite possible this mark will prove within range. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
4yo with only six races behind him and has gone 2-3 in handicaps with narrow verdicts at Thirsk and Musselburgh (again 5f, good); essentially 5lb higher than last time as Zak Wheatley claimed 3lb that day, but he's got a good draw and first-time headgear; respected. |
11/4 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who led close home to take 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-5; probably still has more to offer and commands respect. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won debut at Ascot (5f, soft) in sole 2yo start; missed 2024 but made a respectable return at Ripon, only to find the tough 6f on Newcastle AW stretching him in August; has potential back at 5f on handicap debut. |
9/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (soft) in May 2023; didn't return to the track until this month but he showed promise again when third at Ripon (5f, good); entitled to be sharper for the run and bold show looks assured now stepping up to 6f. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
55,000gns Land Force colt who made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (5f, soft) in May 2023; been on the sidelines since then but he recorded an RPR of 86 on his debut and needs a close look on his comeback. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when scoring at Carlisle (6f, good) ten days ago; that was in a bunch finish but a 2lb rise looks fair enough and he went close over C&D (AW debut) on his penultimate run; shortlisted. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still seeking a first success but he was beaten just a neck when second of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; has a small rise in the weights to overcome but he is unexposed at 6f and shaped well in his one start on slower than good. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command this summer and although he didn't run badly at Doncaster 19 days ago, he will need more for the switch to AW. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in his two maidens or a novice, the last two attempts in five-runners races over 5f; no form claims but at least going handicapping should help. |
50/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Huge prices for two starts this summer, finishing a remote last on each occasion; wouldn't need to improve much to holds place claims though. |
33/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Big price and finished last of 11 on recent Yarmouth debut (7f, good); now switches to sprinting and he needs to leave that initial form miles behind. |
