29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |
12/1 |

11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; nine-time winner who scored by 4l at Catterick two weeks ago but was disappointing under a penalty there last Wednesday; up another 4lb, but he was as good as ever on his penultimate run and is a player if he can recapture that form. |
5/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival home at Thirsk (5f, good) but he's won over this C&D either side of that, including when coming 4l clear nine days ago; looks well treated under a 4lb penalty but this is a step up in class. |
4/1 |

Wins his share and he got off the mark for the year over C&D last month; well held at Thirsk three days ago but in a Class 4; this should be more suitable. |

Three wins in 2026, including C&D, with the latest an emphatic win in the mud at Beverley on Sunday; a 4lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

1st 15 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Successful off 1lb higher at Carlisle in May; went close at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) nine days ago; shouldn't be too far away with a repeat. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |
15/2 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

7th 6 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
She wasn't winning out of turn when successful at Ayr (6f, good) 25 days ago; fully effective at Hamilton and seems to handle soft ground so she's respected, for all she hasn't been missed with a 7lb rise for last time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All five wins between July and October last year, at 6f and 5f, including this race (good); runner-up four times this year and her latest Hamilton run can be consigned to history as she'd run the day before; respected, although serious rain wouldn't be ideal. |
8/1 |

9th 10 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

One of five wins in the second half of last season was over C&D in August; four seconds (including over 5f/6f here) from the back in her last five starts this term, back to form at Musselburgh last night; each-way claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

11th 8 (10) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |
