30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |

Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |
14/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins were 1m2f on Newcastle AW last October-December; his three races this year suggest that the handicapper has caught up; this is also only his third race on turf, having twice been towards rear last June, so he has a bit to prove on this first run since his second wind surgery. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered. |
6/1 |

Has modest 2-31 strike-rate but scores good marks for her consistency in recent months, having made the frame five consecutive times (once over C&D); probably won't be far away. |

4th 10 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 1m3f/1m4f on turf this summer and her 1m2f fourth at Ayr was similar form; big shout on that but the problem is that her AW form (six races, including three last autumn) is at a lower level. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month, losing out only by a neck when clear of third on latter occasion; back in action before 3lb rise takes effect and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago; good chance. |

Record of 2-37 and both wins came over 1m1f (good) last August; has mixed record this season but he had a close call at Pontefract (1m2f) last month and was runner-up behind a big improver over C&D last Monday; on the same mark here and he's respected. |

9st 6lb |
Gradually went the wrong way for previous yard after making a successful debut and was comfortably held on stable debut at Bath (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) this month; little to suggest this big step up in trip will make a difference. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last April; fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps, so he can't be the percentage call on this first start since leaving Craig Lidster; tongue tied first time. |
12/1 |

20th 8 (18) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last April; yet to make much of an impact in handicaps but he has dropped down the weights and he ran a solid race over C&D in the Leger Legends race last September; goes well after a break and he has a top amateur booked; interesting. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

Easily made all here (2m, good) in June and he's run well in third on his last two starts, most recently behind Inappropriate here (2m, good); could give it a good go from the front but this is warmer than he's used to. |
