20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He's posted easy wins here this June (2m2f, good), August (2m1f, good to firm) and September (2m1f, good to soft); plenty to find with the form principals but can give another good account at his favourite track. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form figures in staying handicaps at this track this year read 211, the latest success coming by 5l over 2m1f (good) last month; heavy defeat on AW last time but respected back here. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has won two staying handicaps at Pontefract this summer and he nearly prevailed in a small field here in May; edging up the weights but he's having a productive spell. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive maiden under both codes for four yards (trainer also saddles Tenadaay, who looks his best chance); hard to make a case for her back in the cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
With her third trainer, first run for him when 40-1 and well beaten at Kempton (2m, AW) this month; overall scores are 0-8 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles, and clearly her best Flat effort was over 2m1f last September in a first-time visor; 6lb lower today but others are still preferred. |
40/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Fair staying maiden; in decent nick over hurdles when last seen for Denis Hogan in May so she's no forlorn hope starting out for her new yard here. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |
4/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; badly hampered and unseated over hurdles next time; still has mileage in his mark judged on old Flat form; respected. |
5/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Won easily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; soundly beaten behind Judicial Deference at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) in January but he's probably better than that and he won on the AW last week; not ruled out. |
16/1 |

1st 4 (3) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Better known as a hurdler but was having only his second start on the AW when second of six at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) in September; now 1lb lower and could go well. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Hexham winner in June (2m, good); hasn't run quite as well since, though far from disgraced in a stronger race at Market Rasen last time (2m4f, good); a possible. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hard-fought win back over hurdles at Hexham (2m) before a 10l defeat returned to fences; no great significance in the return of cheekpieces (blinkered last two races) but entitled to have some say. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark a year ago (good; first-time blinkers) and reverts to chasing after hard-fought hurdle win here (2m, good; refitted blinkers) a fortnight ago; obvious contender. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5-42, his last three wins close to home on the July Course at Newmarket (2m); third to Regally Blonde in this last year and the handicapper is beginning to cut him some slack (back on last winning mark); vulnerable to younger rivals? |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
10yo whose last three wins (in 2022, 2023 and 2025) came in the 2m handicap he contested here six weeks ago; could only manage 5l third to the reopposing Prince Quattro in this year's renewal; 4lb better off with that rival this time but it may not be enough. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently. |
