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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four C&D wins in 2024 (including a Class 5); unfortunate (hampered) not to justify market support when runner-up to Dinah Myte here in June; excuse - bled from nose - next time; recent Southwell run (fifth) should have him spot on for this. |
9/2 |
|
5th 3 (13) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
The last four of his five wins were over 1m on Newcastle Tapeta (hampered on sole start here); looked an unlucky loser at Newcastle on penultimate start but bled from the nose when a disappointing favourite there on latest; player if straight back to form. |
11/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the second over C&D last August off this mark; runner-up on his last three starts, beaten 1.25l by a previous winner over C&D last time; contender. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month, losing out only by a neck when clear of third on latter occasion; back in action before 3lb rise takes effect and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago; good chance. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 2-37 and both wins came over 1m1f (good) last August; has mixed record this season but he had a close call at Pontefract (1m2f) last month and was runner-up behind a big improver over C&D last Monday; on the same mark here and he's respected. |

2nd 6 (8) |
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). |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; will appreciate this ease in grade but has been out of form since returning from a break in June; needs to turn things around. |
10/1 |
|
12th 13 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
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. |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came at Redcar in May 2024; was out of the handicap when running well to finish second in similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) under Kayla Ruddy last month; hasn't matched that in two subsequent starts but the return to this sphere may help; not discounted. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-27 on Flat turf, the win coming on soft ground over 1m at Redcar in May 2024 (first-time hood); gave it a good go from the front when runner-up over this C&D last month but she failed to beat a rival home at Ayr (1m2f) two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
