15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Rather disappointing in hat-trick attempt when last seen, but this low-mileage 4yo may still have more to offer and can't be written off; gained her two wins over 1m on good ground. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Slow start to handicapping career but the return to 1m for the first time since her qualifying days has been the making of her, winning a classified event at Chepstow then a game winner of a Haydock handicap (both on good); this stiff test at 1m can suit; up 4lb; can go on improving. |
3/1 |

1st 9 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Not much to write home about in her first six starts, but the drop into 0-50 classified company made a big difference when she scored by over 4l at Chepstow (1m, good) 13 days ago; this will be much harder from 1lb out of the weights back in a handicap, but something may have clicked. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in the autumn; faded as if needing his reappearance back here 17 days ago and ought to be sharper now. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in October when last seen; strong contender if fully tuned up for this reappearance. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Knocking on the door prior to winning at Hamilton (8.3f, good) last month and again ran well when third at Redcar (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; also effective on good to soft ground; could be in the shake-up. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three good runs this year, following up his good C&D second in April (good to firm, Mayo County 1.5l back in third but 4lb better off) by winning at Hamilton last time (8.5f, good; won by short head for today's rider Jake Dickson); chance off 2lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a good second of 14 in 7f Redcar handicap last month; firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored off 1lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at York (7f, good) last summer and is also suited by Tapeta but we haven't seen him since a low-key run on soft turf in September. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner; yet to win in four starts on turf, although fair fifth over 1m4f at Beverley last time (good to soft); this drop in trip should suit; visor now tried (well beaten only run in cheekpieces). |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he failed to stay 1m6f when ninth in handicap at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; not ruled out back in trip off an easing mark. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Newcastle scorer (7f maiden/novice) for John Butler, the latest last February; 0-6 for this yard and although close up over 1m2f at Newcastle last month, his stamina is unknown for this far. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden winner last July (1m, good); no closer than about 3l in her six handicaps and finished last here two weeks ago. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (7) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Ripon maiden last July (1m, good) and best subsequent run was when third in a Carlisle handicap in September (1m, soft); could go well on second run at this trip, but has a 190-day absence to overcome. |
14/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Got off the mark in a Ripon maiden (1m, good) in July and had been running well in turf handicaps until blotting her copybook when last of 12 at Ayr (1m, soft) last month; still early days and makes AW debut. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Displayed improvement when placed in Carlisle novice (1m, good to soft) in July, his third start, but two disappointing handicap runs have followed; moves up in trip and sports new cheekpieces; has a point to prove. |
16/1 |

4 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointing on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) last month but this 3yo was previously a promising third at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) and retains potential; no surprise if he bounces back with a big run. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run in three novices, but still looked green when beaten just over a length into third of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) last month; could well show more now handicapping and worth a second look. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on her second handicap start at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in May but has regressed since (in headgear the last twice); needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to win a 1m handicap at Haydock in May (good to firm); respectable efforts on her next two starts but she stopped quickly when tailed off at Haydock last month (cheekpieces first time); something to prove now tried in a visor; unraced on slower than good. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to get off the mark over C&D (good to firm) in May but, although not beaten far in either run since, she hasn't really built on that performance; cheekpieces given a go but needs to bounce back dropped 1lb. |
