8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength. |

1st 9 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
In and out on his five runs since returning from an absence in October but he's won three of them, most recently at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January; has also won on Tapeta; this steadily progressive 6yo has gone up just 2lb for last time and could again be involved; cheekpieces go on. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won four of his last seven races, including at Kempton (2m) in December, but he ran unaccountably poorly when favourite at Newcastle two weeks ago; needs to rebound but he's back in a lower grade here and it's possible. |

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. |

Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) in September off just 3lb lower and final three defeats for Mick Appleby were over further; could go well if ready for action after his break. |

9st 12lb |
Sole win (19 races) was a novice in 2023; running respectably this term, drawn wide when never able to challenge in the Chester Plate last time; competitively handicapped but probably not the percentage call. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (15) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |

Sole win (18 races) was a novice in 2023; ended 2025 bang there in two AW handicaps (2m/1m6f) and ran respectably on both starts this term, back on good ground latest, but drawn wide and others are preferred. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |
2/1 |

2nd 7 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

9st 11lb |
Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 18 and has to put a poor recent effort at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) behind him, but he often makes the running and could enjoy the run of the race if again ridden positively; visor removed after one use. |
9/2 |

14th 3 (15) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Often a front-runner; record over C&D reads 1313, but this his first visit here since June 2024; losing run is up to 17 and he is drawn wide; visor the headgear of choice this time. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off at Southwell last time which was too bad to be true as does have form there; he's won twice here and ran well over C&D in December behind one who scored impressively last week; considered under Oisin Murphy. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Won at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and also successful on AW in January; unseated early when an 8-1 chance for his return to hurdling at Statford (Supreme Yeats runner-up in that race). |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his last two starts for Ralph Beckett and completed the hat-trick here over 2m in November when visored for the first time on his debut for this stable; ran another good race when runner-up at Kempton (2m) next time but he was below his best 97 days ago; could bounce back on his first start since but this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie. |

4th 5 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; perfectly satisfactory start over hurdles when third at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) six weeks ago, keeping on from midfield; open to improvement and high on the list. |
100/30 |

3rd 11 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Six-race maiden on Flat for the Gosdens, reaching a fair sort of level (peak RPR 81); remains in same ownership; interesting at the weights, assuming he improves for this code; related to a useful hurdler. |
