4th 1 (3) |
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 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. |

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. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since October 2024 and he failed to build on a reappearance Newcastle third when just seventh in 1m handicap there 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in the space of five days last August, the second win coming over C&D off today's mark; ran some fair races on AW over the winter; place claims back from four months off. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in five days on turf last August (both 1m1f, good) and although he is 0-13 on AW, he's fully effective at this track; each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4 (3) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless in his first 25 starts, but in good form since the blinkers went on in June (4321133); both wins came over 1m1f on turf in August, but he finished well for a creditable third over C&D last time; interesting contender on this drop back in grade. |

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). |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

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. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
1-27 on the Flat; some of last year's best efforts came here but she's still opposable for win purposes after 190 days off. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1-26 on the Flat and unplaced in all six starts on the AW; takes on better company from 5lb out of the weights; up against it. |
16/1 |
