6th 3 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; he was in fair form when last seen four months ago but has failed to beat a rival home in each of his three starts on turf. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Another who is enjoying a fine winter, winning for the fifth time when seeing off ten rivals at Southwell last month; steadily-run race no good to him at Newcastle on Saturday and he's capable of bouncing back quickly. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive gelding who has won four of his last eight starts and was a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4yo filly whose form at Pontefract comprises her sole turf win, gained over 6f in 2024, and strong-finishing second (nearly got up) over 1m last time; major player back up just 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner as 2yo; some good AW runs since winning at Newcastle (1m) in October but she's slacked off on her last two starts and needs a turnaround now back on this surface; has more to prove than some. |

All four wins have come on Tapeta including at Southwell (1m) five weeks ago, but he does handle Polytrack; respected despite a 4lb rise with cheekpieces now given a go. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |

Three-time winner on Tapeta at Newcastle and Wolverhampton and was placed in both starts over this C&D in the autumn; that makes this consistent sort a player. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Successful off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in November; several solid runs in defeat since and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give another good account. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024). |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner last month off 8lb lower and the following week suffered a fall at York; good to see him bounce back from that with a respectable show at Hamilton; this mark might be on the high side. |
7/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) on Sunday, and given the style of that success he looks an attractive proposition under a 5lb penalty; high on the list. |

Showed ability in his first two starts last year, but has regressed since; down another 3lb but he needs to find more for the return to turf. |

11th 1 (11) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Five-race maiden who finished well down the field in first two handicaps (1m/1m3f); drops back in trip here; remains unexposed but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

7th 2 (2) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Ran okay first two starts (second time here) but handicap debut at Southwell last month was particularly disappointing (sent off 40-1); enough to prove back over further. |

11-time AW winner, the latest a Newcastle seller for the Moores (1m, Tapeta) last October; regressive for this yard in the meantime despite plummeting in the weights; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

10th 7 (12) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |

9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |

0-19 but has been placed ten times; returns from a break and is down to a career-low mark; hood worn on recent starts is left off; more exposed than the opposition and vulnerable to an improver. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
