25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; runner-up on first three hurdle starts (all 2m) before cruising clear in four-runner Ascot maiden (2m3f, good) last month; could easily have more improvement to come in handicap hurdles; interesting. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who then won two Flat handicaps for Ralph Beckett; he's getting there over hurdles judged on his near miss at Taunton (2m, good) and this longer trip could trigger the improvement he'll need to trouble West Hill Verde. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Bumper winner who then won two handicaps on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, the latest at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in October; runner-up on both starts over hurdles, last time finishing 10l second at Kempton (2m, good; third has won since); contender. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
4yo who has failed to progress this year but he got back on track with a nose second of six to High Point over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Progressive in handicaps last term; hasn't continued in the same vein during a fairly light 2025 campaign but faced a tough task in the Old Borough Cup here most recently; this is easier. |
7/2 |

9th 15 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won two 3yo handicaps last spring (1m4f, soft) and ran well in defeat on first two starts this season (2m, good/AW); disappointing at Ascot (2m, good) last time but holds each-way possibilities if back on song. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has posted good efforts in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and 1m3f Group 3 at Carlisle this term, maintaining her solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; new rating gives her a leading chance in this field. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improving with virtually every run, and was even better than the bare result when second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good; came from a long way back) four weeks ago; up in grade again but still has more in the tank and not to be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Proved most progressive last season when a dual 1m4f AW handicap scorer in the autumn; steps up in grade here but she's capable of further improvement. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only his second attempt over this far in a 31-race career came at Goodwood (soft) ten weeks ago when he came from the rear in a six-runner race to win by 5l; 6lb higher today (with more to prove if the ground is firmer than good) but new horizons as a stayer have been opened up. |
22/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive. |
20/1 |
|
11th 8 (14) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |
66/1 |

10th 6 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence, being 0-21 since debut win; however, beat all bar a subsequent scorer last time, over 1m6f at Chester, and appears to hold a fighting chance off the same mark, which is 22lb lower than his peak one. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last three runs including over 1m6f at York (good) two weeks ago; down the list. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023 but he's run with credit on plenty of occasions; that wasn't the case at Chester last time, however, and on balance he's opposable despite this career-low mark. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, the money came for him at Southwell 17 days ago (1m4f); fared better in third on that occasion and he's handicapped to go well. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all twice last season, latterly in good style over 1m6f here (heavy) in September; just 1lb higher today after lesser shows this term but the latest was a step back in the right direction and he stays 2m; case can be made. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon. |
