5th 11 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has won three times, including here over 1m3f in February off a mark 5lb lower than today's, and he was beaten only a nose by Must Believe here in May; didn't quite get home here over 2m last month and will be suited by this drop back in trip; has claims. |

4th 5 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained a first success at Southwell (1m3f) in November and has added two more AW victories since, including over 1m3f here; not disgraced with fifth of 15 at Newbury (1m4f) last time and well in the mix if his stamina holds out on his first run beyond 1m4f. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
AW record since November reads 12112 and he was beaten a nose at Kempton 11 days ago; however, his record on turf is 85000, including a tailed-off run at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last month, so there are loud warning bells today. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
First two wins were at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) and last two have been over C&D (good to soft/good); his last success was on his stable debut last month and he backed that up with a front-running second at Pontefract (1m4f) last week; that was a four-runner race but he chased home a progressive stablemate who has scored again since; respected off same mark. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his wins at Bath (1m2f) and Epsom (8.5f) last year, but he hasn't threatened back on the Flat in his last two starts; needs to raise his game and it would be a concern if rain arrives (all wins have been on good/good to firm). |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Pretty consistent on the Flat and over hurdles this year and has dropped 1lb since his recent fourth at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm); visor (worn for last four races) is left off here; probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

Scored over 8.5f here (good) last summer and kept on for respectable fourth at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) on latest Flat start in May; returns to this code on a workable mark and after a recent second over hurdles; likely contender. |

Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |

1st 5 (2) |

9st 3lb |
Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |
16/1 |

Picked up for 25,000gns in February and emerged from midfield to make a successful debut for George Baker over 1m3f on the AW; impressed with his attitude that day as he was under the pump early enough; raised 4lb; 0-4 on turf and unraced on ground slower than good. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

May have done too much early and might have failed for stamina when sixth of eight at Chelmsford (13.3f. Polytrack) 13 days ago (Take The Boat second); better judged on his previous form around here including wins over 1m3f/1m4f; respected for stable that also runs Maywedance. |

9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |

Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith. |
