2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year but took a step back in the right direction when front-running fourth of 21 off this mark in the Lincoln at Doncaster five weeks ago on first run for new yard; no stamina worries but there is a concern about good to firm ground. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year for George Boughey, albeit he did finish third in the Listed Doncaster Mile over C&D (good to soft) on this card; now down to a mark 3lb lower than when runner-up in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) in July 2024 and his new trainer is a dab hand with topweights in big handicaps; goes well fresh and could have a big say. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Listed Flat winner as a 2yo and showed the benefit of his winter wind op when scoring in good style over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) and here (2m, good) this summer; tries a new trip today; big player. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat performer who made it third-time lucky over hurdles with a dominant display after wind surgery at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; just about sets the standard under a penalty and he could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strong contender. |
4/5 |

1st 8 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2yo Listed winner on the Flat; made a promising start over hurdles when third at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January but was well beaten at short odds at Catterick (2m, soft) later that month; subsequently underwent wind surgery and, if able to reproduce his earlier effort, he's firmly in the mix on this comeback. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-8 since debut win but a quintet of second-place finishes (1m-1m2f, AW/turf) reflect broadly consistent form; seemingly outstayed over 1m4f at Leicester when last seen; useful in terms of ability and may yet double his tally. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (9) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Only 1-8 and slightly concerning that he's been runner-up five times, though it was bordering on career-best form last time at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; fine on good); should be in the thick of it. |
11/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Bar a blip on fast ground at York in June his profile is essentially progressive, including clear second to a next-time-out winner at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; shaped much better than result when never-nearer sixth of ten at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time, left with too much to do after meeting trouble early in the home straight; could still be on a good mark. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Very capable off this mark when on his game but he refused to race on final run of last season and hasn't looked overly keen to get involved this campaign. |
50/1 |

11th 6 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-9 over C&D including landing this race three years ago, but his starts have increasingly become a problem, flatly refusing to do so here in October; too risky. |
20/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with ten wins to his name; behind some of these on two visits to York this summer but wasn't disgraced in a C&D handicap 15 days ago on a rare foray over this far; could have some part to play. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go. |
16/1 |
|
11th 14 (22) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player. |
5/2 |

5th 6 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix. |
5/2 |

3rd 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy since but he kept on well for a good third of 12 off this mark at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) three weeks ago on second start for new yard, suggesting potential over staying trips; probably acts on good to firm; one to note. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |
|
21th 15 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Started out for current yard with encouraging Redcar sixth in June but he has failed to build on it in a pair of 1m Newcastle handicaps since; needs to take a step forward. |
