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. |

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. |
4/5 |
|
7th 7 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2yo Listed winner for Ralph Beckett who was 0-5 on the Flat last year; fairly encouraging start to hurdle career when third of 11 at 12-1 at Newbury (2m, good to soft) this month; open to improvement in this code and top trainer has 39% strike-rate here in last five seasons; leading claims. |

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. |

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. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time winner who was close to a lifetime best when bagging Doncaster handicap (1m2f, soft) at the Leger meeting in September; still marooned on this career-high mark despite two subsequent defeats but his form figures after a 50-day break or more read 32112913 and he won't mind if the rains come. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |

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. |

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. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
5yo who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; mixed results across his five starts since and he's unraced beyond 1m2f, but he stumbled leaving the stalls when mid-division on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Redcar, and things could click at some point; not written off. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won for Sean Woods on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last July; not blatantly well treated on the balance of his form (including 1m2f/1m1f handicaps) but now makes his debut for a top trainer having changed hands for 65,000gns; has to be of strong interest. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won last March/April on first two starts for yard; took just one of 16 races since but that was penultimate start (Beverley 1m2f, good to firm) and last month's third of 16 off this mark in a Class 2 at York (1m2f) was as good as he's ever been; stays 1m4f; not the percentage call but not impossible. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 12 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won his first two starts for this yard; took four runs to get going this term but he was strong in the betting when cashing in on a reduced mark at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; handicapper has wasted no time putting him back to this career-high mark, though. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Made a winning debut here (7f) early last year and was a good third at Goodwood (1m, good) in his final run last season; left William Haggas for 16,000gns in October; never dangerous on stable debut at Redcar last week but he didn't get the best of runs and was only beaten around 3l; should be sharper this time and he's in the mix back on AW. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) early last year and placed over this trip and further in four of his six subsequent starts; has since left William Haggas for 16,000gns and the market should indicate what is expected on stable debut after 250 days off; cheekpieces given a go. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 15 (7) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Placed in May/June in his first two handicaps (1m/1m1f, good to firm/good) and he's of interest on that form; two lesser runs have followed (1m2f, good to firm/soft) and he has something to prove, but this 3yo remains lightly raced and is in top hands; not written off. |
10/1 |
