Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |
11/4 |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |

Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

Won for today's rider off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm); today's softer conditions are not sure to suit. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Last win was over C&D off this mark in November but he can be hard to predict and should have run better back in a 0-60 last time. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Mostly running well since late last year, including a second success over this C&D (good to firm) last month; ran with credit when fourth of 11 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago and high on the list back here, especially if the ground continues to dry out. |
5/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Added to her good record over 7f at Redcar when comfortably seeing off ten rivals on good to firm 12 days ago; a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if turning up in a similar mood. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only turf success came off a 2lb higher mark at this meeting last year (7f, good to firm); has run two sound races over C&D on turf this season (behind Perfidia on first occasion, but is 4lb better off); well drawn and should go well again. |

50-1 winner over C&D off 11lb higher in February last year; back on a good mark but hasn't been in top form recently. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

Secured her first AW win at Southwell (7f) in April; runner-up back there (7f) 12 days ago; needs things to drop right given hold-up tactics are employed; holds decent claims if they do. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won over C&D in April; not at the same level on her two runs on turf last month but she had a wide trip when fifth at Carlisle on the second occasion and could build on that effort today; stable is in fine form. |

9st 13lb |
Won a weak 6f event at Newcastle on his handicap debut in February; not so good in either run since, especially when beaten a long way at Ripon 12 days ago on his return to turf; only of interest if backed. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed; won a Newcastle handicap in February on only fourth start; has been absent since a disappointing run there ten days later; fair run only previous outing on turf (on debut in Ireland); interesting. |

8th 6 (10) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |

1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won three 6f handicaps at Newcastle over the winter when trained by Richard Spencer; two heavy defeats since joining this yard and risky, for all he's dropping in class this time. |
16/1 |

11th 12 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |
