15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Notched a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps in midsummer; not so good since but he was badly hampered last 1f when seventh of 11 over C&D last time; no forlorn hope off a slipping mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps this summer but he's been well below par there and at Thirsk (5f) since; needs to bounce back. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Beat the same horse in bagging two Class 5s at Pontefract (both by a length) but he trailed home last there four weeks ago in a Class 3; might be high in the weights now. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice over 5f at Wolverhampton and Pontefract in April; his more recent form is not so encouraging, however, and he beat only one in 5f Ripon handicap last time; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April and there have been plenty of solid runs since; should remain competitive but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from 21 starts but that was over C&D last autumn and he's run well in some big-field handicaps at York this summer; looks interesting on this drop in grade and he should get a good pace to aim at. |
4/1 |
|
5th 17 (19) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win to his name from 20 starts but he has run well in defeat on his last two starts; more will be needed to take this but he can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A fair 5f winner in 2025; lightly raced this season and he wasn't discredited when fourth of 21 in 6f York handicap 29 days ago; in the picture eased 1lb. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Best form when coming from off the pace, as when a wide-margin winner at Redcar (5f, good) last month; has possibly found slower surfaces against her since (reared start latest) and considered in a race that's likely to be run to suit. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded her first success when making all in a 5f handicap at Carlisle (good) last month; mixed bag since and dominating this field won't be easy. |
8/1 |
|
11 (2) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; made all at Carlisle (5f, good) last month and turned in another solid effort when second at Hamilton (5f, soft) last week; well drawn and holds each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Contrasting performances the last twice, opening her account in Carlisle contest (5f, good; made all) then finishing last on AW; return to turf is the angle with her. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Third over C&D on Boxing Day when bidding for a five-timer at this track; still on a competitive mark and her quiet last run was on turf after a break of 158 days; better can be expected back here. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Absent since a respectable effort on Boxing Day when bidding for a Wolverhampton AW five-timer; only 1-9 on turf and is 12lb higher than last attempt in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
In top form at present, winning her second on the trot, over C&D (fourth course win) last Tuesday; carries 5lb penalty but every chance there is more in the tank and a hat-trick is a real possibility. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was retried in cheekpieces when beating just one in 5f Newcastle handicap in February last time; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth (beaten 1l+) to Azucena over C&D on penultimate start, and wasn't far off the principals when fifth to Digital (Shatin Venture second, Azucena fourth) here nine days ago; possible she's able to take advantage of joint career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handicap mark has tumbled for this yard and there have been more positive signs on her last two starts; better off with the three runners who beat her over C&D last month and not ruled out. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |
