27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |

Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Tends to be slowly away and is the type who needs everything to drop right if he's to win, but he's run several good races on AW this year and was fourth of 14 back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently; in the mix. |
7/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time winner who is fine at 7f or 1m; has been running well for a while and latest effort in the new visor at Newcastle can be upgraded. |
14/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well at this level in recent weeks, coming from last to first over 1m here before finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); just as effective at 7f; the blinkers he's worn on his last five starts are now replaced by a first-time visor; should go well again. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 7f winner who has been knocking on the door in his last two starts, including a close third over C&D last time; ties in closely with Donald on that form and he's an interesting contender off unchanged mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two AW wins earlier in the year and he was back at his best when second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; has his first 6f run since his racecourse debut today but it shouldn't be a problem; high on the list. |
5/1 |

Dual C&D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims. |

Catterick specialist who was scoring for the fourth time there when landing 7f handicap (good to soft) in September; has form elsewhere but he wasn't able to show it when finishing lame at Musselburgh a fortnight ago; same mark. |

|
8th 1 (2) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

C&D winner 12 months ago; his three wins for Ruth Carr this year have all come at Catterick over 7f, the latest when overcoming traffic issues three weeks ago; the third has won since; one to consider despite his 3lb rise. |

Two wins in May, each off a mark 2lb lower, took his record over C&D to 3-5; continued in good form since, latterly in cheekpieces (removed on today's drop back in trip), and is one to consider. |

Won so well here in July that he went up 7lb to a career-high mark, off which he was only fourth a month ago; that was under a 3lb claimer as well; might be vulnerable. |

4th 7 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

1st 9 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
