9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Convincing winner at Catterick (2m, good) in August and following effort was respectable; ran no race last time at Chester but wouldn't be without hope if back on song. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |

Returned to turf with convincing win at Catterick (2m good) last month and has the plum inside draw here but had to settle for fifth off new mark a fortnight ago and may find younger rivals better handicapped again. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner whose success at Catterick (2m, good) three weeks ago was a first win on turf for nearly four years; might need a fraction more up 4lb but that was a pretty convincing success; Colin Keane's first ride for the yard; respected. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stood little racing since the summer of 2022 and hard to gauge how much ability remains; handicap mark in freefall but there are reservations. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has come a long way down the weights sine joining this yard in 2022; not disgraced despite finishing last of four over C&D in July and his latest fifth of eight in an amateur riders' race here (1m6f, also good; first-time cheekpieces) was a wee bit better than it looks; essentially hard to get too excited about these days, though, and it could be a quiet ride home alongside three stablemates with more obvious prospects. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Quite useful in his prime but very lightly raced since 2021; returned from his latest long layoff with a 22l defeat in 2m AW race in June and although he was beaten only 6l here (2m) five weeks later, that was a slowly run race and he was last of four; cheekpieces are enlisted. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who's done a lot of his winning in the summer and always liked it round here; back in form over hurdles last time and is 2lb lower than when going in here last July, so he needs a second look. |
7/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Three of his five wins have come over C&D, including a division of this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not shone yet this winter and he arrives with a bit to prove. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner (1m6f) but he's been out of sorts in his last five runs and latest was at this track three weeks ago; has something to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today. |

12st 0lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles when justifying support at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; up 7lb but that was an emphatic success and she's open to more progress; big player. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Gradual improvement over hurdles, twice hitting the frame at Ludlow (2m5f-3m), getting to within 3l of Son Of Tyran (beaten by Brionywells since) last month; slightly more needed to make the breakthrough from this 1lb higher mark. |
5/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |

Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss. |

A regressive 9yo who last won in 2021, a 1m4f Group 3 in Germany; well beaten after a break and probably wants 2m ideally. |

Returns from break on career-low mark but this regressive 9yo is yet to add to his German Group 3 success in 2021 and is difficult to enthuse over. |

1-20, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; runner-up on three occasions, including on good to firm at Chepstow last summer, but was well held at Yarmouth (soft) 15 days ago. |

Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |

Beat a Catterick specialist by a neck (1m6f, good) in September before ending last season with solid efforts in his final two runs for John Berry; has claims if he can pick where he left off but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and still has something to prove on AW. |

Was having his second start for the yard and first since wind surgery when fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; 2lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last August and worth a second look, especially if backed. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Gambled on when just failing to make winning handicap debut (1m, AW) in February; prominent in the market all starts since although it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) on penultimate run to get off the mark; wore cheekpieces for the third time when he proved underwhelming in a Yarrmouth classified (11.5f, pulled hard) six weeks ago; now goes back up in trip with no headgear. |

Gambled on when just failing to make a winning handicap debut in February and he's been prominent in the market all starts since, including when third of 13 in his first classified at Windsor (1m3.5f, good to firm) last month; it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) to get him off the mark 19 days ago but he's respected. |
