20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his three wins were over 1m2f at Newcastle last October-December, easily on last occasion, but his creditable third there on latest outing suggests that the handicapper has caught up. |

3rd 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over C&D (Class 5) between October and December, rising 20lb in the weights; reportedly "ran flat" when only fifth of six (beaten over 12l) over C&D (Class 3) on New Year's Day; given a short break since, and this is marginally easier (a Class 4); chance. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |

2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |

In fairly good form on AW at Newcastle towards end of last year, making the frame over 1m2f on three of his last four appearances, but has fitness to prove after six-month absence. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |
14/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Kept busy in 2026 and running well without winning, in the frame for the sixth time with third of nine in 1m2f Haydock handicap 19 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won consecutive AW races in November (9.4f/8.6f) and has been placed several times since, including a close second off today's mark at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) in early May; needs to get back on track after two below-par runs, though. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Formerly smart on the Flat (fourth in 2022 Derby) but was knocking about in low-grade handicaps last year; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in May but shaped with much more promise when third over C&D (albeit well held in the end) later that month, and might collect another minor prize today. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Low-grade Flat performer who joined this yard for £5,000; 25-1 and tailed off in a good-ground maiden at Hexham. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a long losing run on the Flat but he ran creditably when last seen, finishing second at Redcar (1m2f, good; final outing for Tim Easterby) in October; changed hands for £5,000 soon after; going hurdling rather late but not without hope. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
On a long losing run (last win was at Ayr in July 2024) but he has run a few creditable races this year; has a bit to find with Royal Blaze on their C&D form last month. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

10th 3 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed narrowly in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good) last time, registering a first win since 2024; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form, which includes a Ripon success; headgear removed; should remain competitive. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since November 2024 and tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of 12 in 1m Redcar handicap last month; needs to bounce back with headgear retained. |
11/4 |

6th 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f, latterly over C&D in September off 1lb lower than today; two minor honours from three starts this turf season ensure that he has a prominent place in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on |
