15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who is on a career-high mark but he looked better than ever when winning by just over 2l at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; close third in this last year (good to firm) and could again be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Redcar (1m2f, good) last November and not beaten far when fifth of 12 at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last month; could show the benefit of that latest outing today and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Below form in this race last year but C&D second in October was one of his mostly creditable efforts afterwards; competitive if he returns on song, as he did in 2023 and 2024; stable also runs Castle Stuart. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |
11/2 |

1st 8 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang when seeing off his eight rivals over C&D (good) six weeks ago, albeit benefitting from a fine front-running ride from Danny Tudhope, poaching a clear early lead which he never looked like relinquishing; doubtful he'll be allowed as much rope this time. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time. |
7/2 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time. |
9/2 |

6th 9 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Useful, four-time Flat winner who made eyecatching late headway into third at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on his second hurdle start, beaten about 6l by Minstrel Knight who now carries a 6lb penalty; open to further improvement in this code and he's one to be interested in. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has a fine strike-rate on turf (4-8) including a win at this three-day meeting (7.6f, good) a year ago; would have gone closer with a clearer run when fifth of 13 in the Rosebery at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on his reappearance (Respond third); still open to improvement and rain wouldn't be a problem; major player. |
4/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won on reappearance at Chester (7.5f, good) last May and tapped back into that promise for a clearcut win at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September; up 6lb for this first run since and it's also his AW debut, but he probably retains potential. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Getting back on slow ground is a positive and she's 5lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September, but she hasn't been at the top of her game in a light campaign and a shorter trip may be preferable. |
16/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Usually kept to testing ground; 2lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; has not approached that form since and none of her three attempts at 1m2f has gone well, including three months ago on latest start, so there have to be doubts. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run now up to 14, but his last couple of efforts have been encouraging as when second of six in a slightly stronger contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; still on his last winning mark and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but he ended that campaign with a good second in a big-field 10.2f handicap at York; two respectable AW runs this year but he will need to raise his game to take this. |

Runner-up three times last season, including C&D; respectable fourth of ten to Spioradalta on C&D reappearance (good to soft); well beaten at the York Dante meeting since but should find this a bit easier. |
12/1 |
|
10th 17 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Runner-up three times last season, including in a big field over C&D (good), and he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Ripon; however, this is a tough contest in which to try to snap a 13-race losing run. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |

0-11 last year when not at his best on his final few runs; however, he was runner-up three times last season, including in this race on his reappearance (good), and he's 2lb lower 12 months on; capable of having a big say. |

Debut at Ayr last September remains his only win but three of his last four starts (two over 1m2f at Ayr, one C&D) suggest he is capable of getting seriously involved. |
7/2 |
|
8 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 2yo debut here (1m, good) last September and clear second behind well-handicapped winner in handicap over this C&D (good) in July; has shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); close fifth at York 11 days ago and he could play a leading role now back here. |
5/1 |

10 (10) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

Second to an unexposed Haggas horse at Ayr before racing too freely for his own good when favourite for a Racing League handicap at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft); if giving himself a better chance here he might not be far away. |

Aided by a first-time visor when gaining career win number three in 1m Haydock handicap in April; not disgraced since, including fourth of 13 over 1m2f here (good to soft) on Thursday; won't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 1m; his stable has won this twice with Revich in recent years. |

Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |

Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

In the first three late last year in his three qualifying runs (1m/1m2f, AW/soft); finished in rear on handicap debut at Ayr last month but that was in a Class 2 event after a lengthy absence; should benefit from that run and he needs checking in market on this big drop back in grade. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

In the first three late last year in his three qualifying runs (1m/1m2f, AW/soft); it's a big ask to win a race this competitive on his first outing of the year but his trainer is very much among the winners and this 3yo's pedigree provides optimism he can be better than his opening mark. |
