9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |

10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Completed a Wolverhampton hat-trick around this time last year and returned to form with a close fourth there 16 days ago despite a slow start and hitting some traffic; has won twice here so needs considering. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who has bits of respectable 5f form at Newcastle; gives the impression this return to 6f is worth exploring on first run since wind surgery; one for the shortlist. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

0-13 but she has shown winning potential, including over C&D; respectable effort in a handicap here 11 days ago but she was behind Lady Of The Garr on that occasion. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from his 20 starts but that came over C&D, and Tapeta brings out the best in him; not disgraced on last month's reappearance at Bath and he's down to a handy mark; of interest now back here. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Looks interesting on his second at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November but he took backward steps on final two runs last year; overall record is now 1-19 and he's yet to be placed in seven runs on turf; has work to do on return. |

Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from his 22 starts and merely mid-division at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last time in first-time blinkers (retained); however, he's twice finished runner-up this season and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 attempts but he has finished second in two of his three runs this year and is still on a workable mark; new blinkers could spark something extra (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces) and he's more appealing than many. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

C&D win last May (good to firm) remains his only win from 20 starts; he has run two solid races in defeat this year, however, and would seem highly likely to run his race once more. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won a classified event over C&D in March; not so good since but he has slipped in the weights and will be a danger to all if anywhere near his best. |

5th 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished down the field on Tapeta in his last two starts but he won a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; has possibilities if he can recapture that form but this looks tough from a low draw and he's raced almost exclusively on AW since last January. |
12/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two 6f turf handicaps last July; encouraging return from a 294-day break at Catterick in August and this stiffer test at the trip should suit; still to prove her effectiveness on AW. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two in a row last July, at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) and Redcar (6f, good) before finishing second of ten here (6f, soft) in October; has been off since failing to beat a rival home at Newcastle (7f, AW) 294 days ago and this return to 5f isn't sure to be a positive. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yard, who also run Lil Wade, ended a losing run early in the week; this longstanding maiden, who hasn't achieved much in four runs since leaving Ed Dunlop, isn't obviously fancied. |

C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025. |
