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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; respectable fourth over 2m here (good) in May but not seen since, so peak fitness isn't assured. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
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. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Battled well to pip Well Educated off today's mark here (2m, good) in June and lost out by only a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) two starts ago; didn't run badly when third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; each-way claims at least. |

3rd 4 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won over Hexham's stiff 2m in June and only narrowly failed to get up over 2m1f here 12 days ago (under Rebecca Hitchen); stays this far and has a solid chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
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. |

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. |
