9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |

10th 5 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who enjoyed a purple patch last September, winning back-to-back Carlisle handicaps and coming up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; returns from 170 days off on a tough enough mark and others make more appeal. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In fine form on turf lately including two wins at Carlisle (7f) last month, while his latest near miss at Beverley (7f, soft) was an even better effort; has winning form on Polytrack, but has failed to beat a rival in two goes on Tapeta (at Newcastle). |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |
10/1 |

11th 8 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |
11/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race. |
11/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Running fairly well this year and the handicapper's helped his cause; can sometimes miss the break but if giving himself a chance he might not be far away. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored comfortably twice over C&D in the autumn and ran creditably, amid traffic issues, returned to this scenario last time (effort can be marked up); may yet show that he can defy this sort of mark. |
14/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has run well to make the frame over 1m at Southwell (Tapeta) and Kempton (Polytrack) the last twice, but a record of 0-16 on the AW and a losing run of 17 suggests others are more likely. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f scorer in 2025; hinted at a revival when sixth of 13 in 8.5f handicap at Beverley nine days ago, finishing well from a poor draw; very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (13) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time, with reappearance under her belt; has form over C&D but the forecast ground isn't ideal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
14/1 |

4th 9 (4) |

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. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Won a Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft) in July; hasn't repeated that form but a close third over C&D (first-time eyeshield) last week was her best effort since; not discounted off the same mark under promising Harry Vigors. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (10) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won a Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft) last July, but precious little to write home about in five handicaps since; eyeshield given a go this time, but has enough to prove and is drawn wide. |

9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f as a 2yo for Jim Bolger; sold for 10,000gns last October; seventh of ten on stable debut at Ayr (7f, good) in July and needs to come down the weights before she can come into consideration. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Won twice over 7f as a 2yo when with Jim Bolger; ran a few decent races for him after that (second at Galway last July); bought for 10,000gns last October; perhaps best watched on stable debut. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Added a first handicap success over C&D (good to soft) in July to go with his debut win here; may have found the ground too lively when below that form at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) since and must be respected back here. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (6) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Headstrong sort but promising third at Ayr (7f, good) last month on second handicap start and built on that to win at Carlisle (7f, good to soft); this 3yo could continue to improve for a trainer who has won two of the last four runnings; strong claims up 5lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 (9) |
10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Debut course maiden winner (6f, soft) last June; failed to make an impact in his next three starts (5f-6f), but his recent Ayr third (7f; winner unfortunate not to follow up) was more encouraging; still needs to settle better though, which presents a risk over 7f on soft. |
