24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Model of consistency this year, finishing second four times in succession before breaking her duck at Chester on Friday (6f, good); solid claims dropped into selling company. |
3/1 |
|
1st 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
In the frame all seven starts (5f-6f), including five second-place finishes; gave it a good shot from the front at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago and has the ideal draw from which to attack here; big player. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been at Ripon over 6f, the most recent on good to soft in April; reported to have bled from the nose when failing to beat a rival at York (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) last month and needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 7 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Started the season with two good runs, notably a 6f win at Ripon in April (good to soft); two subsequent runs less convincing and connections now reach for cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Ripon, the most recent in April on good to soft off 4lb lower than today; led a smaller group of five when 11th at Ascot (6f, good) 28 days ago but looks capable of bouncing back. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 5f claimer at Beverley last spring; on a good mark on his best handicap form and his latest Ripon fourth can be upgraded (not ideally positioned); each-way shout. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut when fourth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month and had some excuses when below that form over 5f at Beverley 24 days ago (suffered interference in first half of race); on a good mark now and enters calculations. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won a C&D claimer on his second start as a 2yo last May (good); three good runs in nurseries after that; finished in front of a couple of today's rivals when a creditable fourth at Ripon on reappearance (6f, good to soft); interesting back at 5f. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip. |
12/1 |
|
4 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won first two nursery starts (5f/6f, good/AW) and didn't run badly when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last time; needs something extra today but that can't be ruled out; unproven on slow ground. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed on four of her five starts, all over 6f, for Ed Bethell last season; only disappointing run was over 7f when she pulled too hard; sold for 6,000gns in September and not disgraced for new connections this time round (both at 6f); stamina to prove back up to 7f. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in her first four starts, but hasn't gone on from there; didn't enjoy a clear run and was returning from 185 days when behind a couple of these at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month, but more needed. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in all three qualifying runs (good to firm/Tapeta) and was placed again when solid third of 14 in Redcar nursery (6f, good to soft) in September; flopped in her final 2yo run but that was over 7f (raced freely) and she looks interesting back at this trip on her return. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid comeback before chasing home an improver at Hamilton; took a backward step as favourite over C&D (hung right) last time and is now tried in another form of headgear; went the wrong last year and has to prove he isn't following the same pattern. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a whimper but a gelding operation has bucked his ideas up and he has run well for second in two 6f handicaps this spring; likely to be bang there once again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who has failed to progress but he was denied a clear run when seventh of 14 in a nursery at Redcar last month (6f, good to soft; beaten about 4l) and could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
7 (14) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Finished third on his first three starts (5f/6f, soft-good to firm); down the field on nursery debut at Doncaster (6f, good) and beaten 5l by Mossvale Diva when fourth in C&D seller (good) last Tuesday; something to prove but perhaps the return to slow ground will help and he's not written off. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Stiff task in a Doncaster nursery on Friday and finished down the field; he had earlier finished third in three sprint maidens and he's one to take seriously dropped in class; stable also run U Turn. |

9st 8lb |
13-race maiden who may be better at 5f but he's run some good races this year, including beaten just a nose at Beverley (5f, good to firm) two starts ago, and he might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 12 starts but he has gone close in two C&D handicaps (good to firm) this year and to his credit that he nearly got back up three weeks ago, in this headgear combination; in the thick of it. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only fourth in handicaps at Redcar and Carlisle on last two starts and needs something extra today if he's to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, he went close in a C&D seller (good to firm) last month and perhaps the return to Beverley will prompt a bigger performance. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month on third start; has since finished last in her two nurseries (6f/5f; AW/good to soft); it's too soon to write her off but she arrives with something to prove. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Best form when second in a Chester maiden in July; has been below that form since, including in a couple of nurseries; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded and he needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
11 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second at Chester (6f, good) on second start but a lesser run followed at Newcastle (6f, AW) and soundly beaten on recent nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft); has to raise game in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
6 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

3 (1) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Won a 6f nursery at Redcar (good to soft) in September; slow start to this campaign but his third at Ripon (6f, good) was a personal best and the step up to 7f could spark further progress; high on the list. |

3rd 6 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ended his 2yo campaign with 40-1 success at Redcar (6f) on handicap debut; has failed to back up the form in two outings this season; one of only two previous winners in this field but isn't particularly solid. |
12/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Ran poorly at Newcastle in March, a run that was all the more disappointing as he had decisively won a Redcar nursery on his final 2yo start; still has time to come good and he sports a hood on his return from another 12 weeks off. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |

Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |
