18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A veteran who is without a win since September 2023; good weights chance on last season's best but he ended the year with a modest effort; handles good ground but rarely seen on a faster surface. |
7/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Made the frame, albeit quite comfortably held, over C&D on belated return to AW last time; the 9yo's losing run is mounting up but he remains well treated on plenty of turf form. |

9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |

Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; cheekpieces left off last time are back on and he needs to show improvement. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done her winning on turf, most recently in May; form has dipped sharply in three runs (hurdles/Flat) since, the penultimate over C&D; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |
|
3 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner since joining Ben Haslam last summer, most recently at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in May; 2lb nudge for that looks fair but suffered a heavy defeat over hurdles when last seen in June; market support would boost her claims. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play. |
12/1 |
|
4 (8) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Solid over C&D of late, running out a convincing winner to make his breakthrough at the start of August before a narrow second a fortnight ago; same mark here and he's a leading contender. |
100/30 |
|
2 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Off the mark over this C&D last month but he was held in fourth off this mark at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) 29 days ago; remains unexposed over this trip and he holds claims returned to AW. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |
9/4 |

5 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who's been turned over as favourite on four of his last six starts, two of them over C&D (behind Angelardo in March), and also behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |
3/1 |
|
5th 6 (12) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-11 but he's run some good races at up to an extended 2m on AW since joining this yard and he's dropped some hints that he could be suited by this extreme test of stamina. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; placed in three of his five starts since joining this stable but he's been tailed off in the other two, including at Southwell (2m, AW) 47 days ago; needs to put that behind him. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive on the Flat last year; tailed off on hurdle debut at Stratford last month before 32l third over this C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago, behind two useful sorts; this race should take a lot less winning. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 9 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
3-13 on the Flat for George Boughey, the latest win gained in October (2m, AW; RPR 78), but struggled (albeit on soft ground) when making stable/hurdle debut against own age group last month. |
33/1 |
|
4th 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
His autumn progress on the Flat for George Boughey came at an ordinary level but he won three times (1m4f/2m) and there's every chance he'll make a hurdler; not ruled out on first run since changing hands for 20,000gns. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
1-24, the win coming by a nose at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) over two years ago; 28-1 when second of five over C&D (Quercus Robur last) three weeks ago but that was a messy event and he'll need a bit more today. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Signed off for Ian Williams with two runner-up spots at this trip on AW in 2023; all starts on turf since and was second of seven at Catterick three starts ago; beaten 16l at Ripon (2m, good to firm; Lillistar just denied) last time; not entirely ruled out back on this surface. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year and he may have been ready for a break when below par in February when last seen; 0-12 on turf and he needs to transfer his improvement back to grass, but he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer. |
