6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on turf but he's 0-16 on AW and he failed to beat a rival over 7f here last month; has something to prove again after that laboured effort and others are more convincing. |

11th 8 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight wins on turf but 0-15 on AW; latest fourth of 12 over C&D was creditable, but others hold more compelling claims. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Comes here under a cloud, last of seven in 1m4f handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; hard to warm to. |
50/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Five wins at up to 9.4f; has form at 1m3f but suspicion there will be stronger stayers in the field. |

5th 7 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Unplaced in three classified events in January; has more ability than her rating suggests but she doesn't help herself by pulling and her optimum trip isn't easy to gauge. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten in her first three starts and it was the same story in a classified event at Thirsk (1m, good to soft; slowly away) three weeks ago; better is needed. |
40/1 |

9th 2 (11) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in three starts at around 7f (good/good to firm) since May; improvement needed, but despite her age she is the least exposed in the field; worth a market check down at this level. |
12/1 |
|
2 (4) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Her second run was more encouraging than her debut but she'll be of much greater interest when qualified for handicaps after today. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Veteran who is 3-15 over C&D on ground ranging from good to soft; hard to predict these days, but capable of running well off if putting his mind to it. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Went close last time at Catterick (7f, good) but following one good run with another can be challenging these days; has form on soft ground but 7f is his trip. |

9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 below par and yet to hit top form this season, well held in 7f Catterick handicap last time; this course winner needs to take a big step forward. |
33/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |
25/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner but he ended last season with a poor effort in 7f Newcastle handicap; this veteran has gone well fresh though, so is no forlorn hope on his reappearance. |

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. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Won just once since getting up late in a C&D classified stakes (good to soft) in August 2023; not disgraced but hasn't done enough to suggest that his turn is forthcoming in four starts this year. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Track regular who won over C&D just over one year ago; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine behind Dumfries over C&D (also good to firm) on his June return but two lesser runs have followed; needs to turn the ship around; 1lb out of the weights. |
12/1 |

7 (1) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

10yo who won over C&D in 2023; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June but he failed to come on for that run when seventh of 11 over that same C&D 32 days ago. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 3lb |
1-27 on the Flat; gained his first success in a 1m Gowran handicap at the start of the season but has lost his way more recently and hard to recommend on the back of a poor run at the Curragh last month. |
16/1 |
|
20 (16) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Sole win from 28 starts came at Gowran Park (1m, good) in May; shaped as if still in good form on his last three outings, most recently at Leopardstown (7f, good) 19 days ago; stable 2-6 with runners in Britain. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
One win from 42 starts but he's posted some good placed efforts this year, including when third of ten here over 1m eight days ago; drops back in trip with place claims but he may prove vulnerable from a win perspective. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
1-41; back-to-back good runs under Sean Kirrane in March but gave himself no chance of troubling the judge last week by failing to settle; usual tongue-tie returns. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough with a clearcut success at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last September but he's not gone on from that and was down the field on Thirsk reappearance (7f, good) last month; still 8lb higher than for his win and others are preferred. |

9th 15 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win and best form has been on the AW and likely best watched back on the grass after a break. |
14/1 |
|
5 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has had some trip/surface excuses but impressive over C&D in September, on his first start here, when beating a next-time winner; unable to do himself justice at Newcastle since, when having to be checked and switched, but he still managed a strong-finishing and close fourth of ten; solid claims. |
