6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and suffered a poor run when sixth of ten over C&D last time; ought to be thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) four weeks ago, but he was well below that form at Southwell last time; remains well handicapped on old form but he needs to step up again after that last run. |
11/2 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped out over 5f two starts ago but good efforts at 6f either side of that and he's 11lb lower than a close fifth of ten over 5f on this track in January; can be on the premises. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins at Newcastle over the winter; his form has cooled more recently but today's return to Class 5 company will help and the cheekpieces return after being discarded last time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his 5f win at Newcastle on New Year's Day; three runs since have not been quite so encouraging though and he may prove vulnerable back up at 6f. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 6f at Southwell in January and two sound efforts after that; C&D record is 121, both wins on fast ground last term; visor replaces cheekpieces; well drawn; chance. |
11/4 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He has not looked back after wind surgery last summer (his second such procedure), recording form figures of 212122 on his last six starts; one of the wins was over C&D and he is greatly respected despite sneaking up the weights. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Returned from a 103-day break to run out a ready winner of Southwell handicap in January; matched that form when second of 12 at Newcastle (also 6f) last time and ought to give another good account. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off six months and went without his usual cheekpieces when 11th over C&D two weeks ago; he scored twice at Ripon (5f) last May so no surprise to see him take a step forward here in refitted headgear. |
14/1 |
|
11th 2 (10) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came to hand early last year and he returns from a 168-day break off a mark just 1lb higher than for his Ripon win 11 months ago; the absence of cheekpieces tempers enthusiasm this time. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Stepped up on his low-key reappearance when winning a 5f handicap at Newcastle 16 days ago; this demands more up 4lb and he wasn't at his best in one C&D run last summer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Should come on for last month's Southwell reappearance; returning to a stiff 5f no bad thing either and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting with Paul Midgley running three here. |

In good form on turf in the spring but 0-12 and hasn't matched that in five starts since, including when never travelling back on AW latest. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

In good form on turf in the spring but he's 0-11 and hasn't matched that in four starts since, latterly in cheekpieces when well held at Beverley last time; handicapper's relenting, though. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue. |

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate and he hasn't been at his best since finishing second at Southwell in October; slipping down the weights but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |
|
12 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
6 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden but he had been threatening prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon three weeks ago; feasible mark if bouncing back. |
6/1 |
