21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a decent record around this time of year; below par on turf last time but he's bounced back from blips before and he's in off the same mark as when going close over C&D in March; one to consider. |
12/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third, despite traffic issues, in AW contest when last seen two months ago; defied a 2lb higher mark over C&D (good to firm) last May and warrants respect back here. |

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. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but he retains plenty of the ability that saw him earn a mark of 80 after his first three starts; both C&D runs have been encouraging and he's high on the list. |
7/1 |
|
4 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden but he was beaten only a length when third of 15 at York (5.5f, good) in July and was a close seventh of 16 at Doncaster (5f, soft) under Warren Fentiman ten days ago; has claims dropping in grade. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Ties in with Glory Hyde on Wetherby reappearance running; has done all her winning in Class 6 but she's 2-3 over C&D and could go well from a good draw back here. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Beverley in the space of a week last July; went close off 1lb lower at Pontefract in October; ran well on last year's seasonal debut but just a suspicion others are better handicapped. |

9st 5lb |
Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle 24 days ago; should give his running but others may prove better treated. |
12/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |
