30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |

Four wins last year and has run with credit on his three starts this term, albeit he is 6lb higher than his last winning mark; should run well but needs a career-best to get his head in front. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |
10/1 |

1 (10) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Mainly below his best since winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in May, including when well beaten with blinkers applied (retained) here over 1m eight days ago; back to 7f. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times over 1m at Brighton last summer but has lost her way; finished last on her two starts this term, for new yard. |
33/1 |
|
10th 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won three over 1m at Brighton last summer, latterly off a 1lb lower mark, before losing her way; a poor comeback effort for her new yard four weeks ago leaves her hard to recommend. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times, the latest two for the Newland/Insole yard, at Brighton last summer; however, she was below her best in the autumn and sold for 3,500gns in October; revival required on this stable debut. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed a couple of times over 1m on turf last year, but ran poorly returned to the AW at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) four weeks ago and now 0-8; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (13) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who was a very close third of seven at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and again finished third at Redcar (1m, good) last Tuesday, behind comfortably winner Just Typical who now carries a 5lb penalty; could be thereabouts. |
12/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Showed best form on second handicap start (also second run in a hood) when close third to a subsequent winner at Doncaster last time (1m, good to firm; sixth also won next time); unexposed sort who may improve further; chance. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran up a four-timer around this time last year, including two course wins, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; back in form last time and has a fair chance of making it 4-8 round here. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time AW scorer who opened his turf account in Redcar contest (1m, good) on penultimate start; respectable third, despite not getting the clearest of runs, at Newmarket latest; remains in form. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 11 (2) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four 1m AW wins earlier this year and he's run really well in this headgear combination on turf on his last two starts, coming from the rear to win with authority at Redcar (1m, good) last Tuesday; unexposed on grass and he's ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; key player. |
7/2 |
|
9 (12) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing on the AW, winning five times at 7f/1m; was having only his third turf run when a good second at Newmarket on latest start last month (1m, good to firm; wore today's combination of headgear for first time), keeping on well after starting slowly when his blindfold came off late; interesting. |

9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |
22/1 |

6th 6 (11) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |
5/1 |
|
1 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran perfectly well when third of 11 behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but should relish the return here with his record over C&D reading 2211511; high on list. |
