27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five wins since December, three of them at this track (including over 1m); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he's never been in better form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins, including C&D, this winter and latest Chelmsford run probably not the one to judge him on; that said, he wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off his current mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |
2/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Never figured at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) four weeks ago, but his previous form on Tapeta this year reads well (33161123) including a win over C&D; major player if putting that latest effort behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held on turf at Carlisle last time (first start for 54 days) but all three of his wins have been on the AW, two over 8.6f at this track; the return to this surface is a positive and he could go well. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Hit a good vein of form on AW earlier in the year, winning three times including over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in March; 0-11 on turf but it was a fair effort when fifth at Doncaster last June and he's not ruled out. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-21 but a few of her recent efforts, including when fourth of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (first-time visor) ten days ago, give her each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Formerly with Tim Easterby and now 0-20 after making it 0-5 for this yard when well held in a classified race at Southwell five days ago; switches to a visor. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 for Tim Easterby and beaten four times for new stable since December 29; latest effort was a bit better but she will need to raise her game again to take this. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win in 24 races was a Brighton maiden in May 2024 (6f, good); fair run last time at Wetherby but others appeal more for the win. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only win was a 6f Brighton maiden in 2024; has had plenty of chances since then, and was only fifth at Pontefract last Monday (5f). |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Only win was a Brighton maiden in May 2024 (6f, good); best recent run was when third at Wolverhampton in April but has been mainly disappointing this year; others stronger. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished second here just before Christmas but over 6f; struggled since, including over C&D latest; Sedgemoor is the more obvious of the stable pair. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a victory since 2023 and he has yet to make the frame in seven starts in 2026; hard to warm to. |
33/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Minor classified form at 1m, 7f and 6f this year and it's 13 months since he posed a serious threat in a handicap (over 7f at Southwell); up against it. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
1m course winner (stays 1m3f) who won back-to-back starts at Beverley (both 8.5f, sound surface) in May/June; below par here (1m, good) on her penultimate start but posted a better effort at Redcar (1m1f, good to firm) latest; needs another step back in the right direction. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Bagged a pair of 8.5f Beverley handicaps this summer but she ran poorly in her hat-trick bid at Pontefract (1m) last time; she's the sort to bounce back though. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Prevailed by 1l last time to complete a Beverley double; back in good form but she failed in two previous hat-trick attempts and was beaten off 2lb lower (finished fourth) in this race 12 months ago. |
11/4 |
