20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since winning in first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D three months ago on second start for new yard and on AW; unexposed in this sphere and still has leeway in the handicap (peak mark was 16lb higher). |

1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In and out for George Scott this season but not disgraced over 7f at Chelmsford (AW debut) three weeks ago; can compete off a career-low mark so would have real possibilities if revitalised by a change of stable. |

Back to winning ways with his Class 5 win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable efforts twice since but he would be more appealing on slower ground. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Left disappointing seasonal debut behind when scoring at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last month; not discredited in big field at Thirsk soon afterwards and has the inside draw here but others look better handicapped. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who was well beaten at 33-1 at Redcar a fortnight ago; however, he may have needed that first run since January and he completed an AW hat-trick late last year, the first leg coming over this C&D; he's won here three times and could bounce back with a bold show returned to Southwell. |
10/1 |
|
9th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell on AW at the end of 2025, winning four times; given a break since a lesser effort behind Spring Is Sprung at Southwell in January; runner-up in this race last year but off 14lb lower. |
25/1 |
|
2 (9) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins on turf in 2024 when trained by Ralph Beckett; ran her best race for current yard when third of ten here (6f) on AW debut ten days ago; is at least as effective over 7f and should run well. |
7/2 |
|

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Best of three runs for this yard when fourth of 14 at Haydock (5f) three weeks ago, keeping on; at least as effective over 6f and well treated on her best form for Ralph Beckett; AW debut. |
7/1 |

6 (9) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

On a competitive mark on form as recent as June but hasn't been at the top of her game on her two outings for this yard; unproven on slow ground. |

Two of 11 wins have been over C&D; latest success was at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but rather disappointing since; has a bit to prove. |
9/1 |

15th 17 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; not disgraced at Ripon next time; should make another bold bid. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; there wasn't much separating the first five but he's only 2lb higher here and should give it another good shot. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause. |

He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |

9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |
20/1 |

8th 8 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |
14/1 |
