18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and he has been well beaten on his last two starts; has the lowest BHA rating in the field and has to concede weight all round so he looks up against it. |
7/1 |
|

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Blew hot and cold for his former stable and it has been a similar story for James Owen, his win at Southwell and second over 1m here surrounded by lesser efforts; chance if on one of his good days; cheekpieces added to usual accessories. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Emphatic win on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) early last month; disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a clear second at Kempton (hood reapplied) 11 days ago; on unchanged mark and has claims if he can back that up. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four C&D wins; attracted market support and looked an unlucky loser, hitting the line strongly after being hampered at a crucial stage over C&D (100-30 favourite, beaten a head) three weeks ago; still fairly weighted after a small upward nudge; holds an obvious chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won four over C&D (BHA marks between 50-60) in 2024; began 2026 with a respectable third to Sea Legend, but it's been disappointing - with some mitigation - that he hasn't built on that since; stablemate of Billyjoegold. |
13/2 |

6th 2 (10) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times on Newcastle AW in 2024 but winless since; needs to be held up off a strong pace but not really firing at present. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ran well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; not so good in either run since, the latest over C&D two weeks ago; not ruled out but not the most solid option either. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Belatedly came good with two 1m1f wins last summer and looked back in prime form when close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but his latest run was slightly disappointing and others in the field have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Dual 1m1f winner last August (good); improved markedly on reappearance run when neck second at Pontefract last week (1m2f, good); a possible on that form. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won three times over 7f here; best run this year when winning over 1m1f at Redcar three runs back; stamina to prove on first run at 1m4f (can pull hard). |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |
40/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at Musselburgh since June 2024 and yet to win away from that venue; last few efforts don't augur well and switching to Redcar is an unknown. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Led close home to win four-runner race here (1m1f, good) in July and ran at least as well when close second over that trip last month; contender if judged on that form but needs to better her last couple of efforts. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both of her wins have been at this track, the more recent last month under Alfie Redman over 1m1f, before finishing runner-up on her next start; below her best at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but she may well bounce back now returning to this track. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ran well from out of the handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last week, poaching a big lead but reeled in close home; whether she can repeat that form in this bigger field remains to be seen. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winner under both codes in 2024; creditable second over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April but below that level since, including weakening when stepped back up to around 1m4f last time. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Winner under both codes in 2024 but hasn't convinced when going beyond 1m1f on the Flat previously. |
11/1 |
