7th 4 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March, but hasn't really kicked on since; something to prove now making his turf debut in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
11th 8 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from five months off to make a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March, but hasn't built on it albeit not disgraced when fourth of 12 here (7f) last month; return to this trip not sure to suit. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (12) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Emphatically got off the mark at Newcastle (7f) on his return but he went too freely when only seventh (6-5 favourite) in 1m handicap there later in March; he's worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden who is unraced on Polytrack but he ran well when second at Newcastle (7f) this month, when denied a clear run, and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (11) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Remains winless but he got back on track when third of eight in 1m handicap here 19 days ago; can race off a 2lb lower mark here so he's very much one to consider. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form without winning until beating only two in 1m Southwell handicap four weeks ago; cheekpieces are removed now and no surprise to see him bounce back. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough when making all in a Redcar handicap (7f, good) in May; mixed form in four subsequent runs, but he went close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and had an excuse at Thirsk (stumbled at the start) last time; still unexposed at this trip and he's a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form. |
3/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came over 7f at Redcar in May off a mark 10lb lower than today's, but he posted his best effort when going close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last time; can go well. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark when making all at Redcar (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser effort when a solid third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; he isn't the most consistent and cheekpieces now go on. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Returned from a three-month break to spring a 33-1 surprise at Carlisle (6f, good to soft; blinkers first time) last month; has C&D form and if the headgear works a second time he should be bang there up just 2lb. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Started this year with a second at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February but he's lost his way in last three starts including a heavy defeat here (7f, good) in May; resumes off a reduced mark but he needs a big turnaround with blinkers added. |
25/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden (0-9); runner-up on AW at Newcastle (6f; 18-1) in February; beaten 29l (13th of 14) and 8l (12th of 14) at Pontefract and Redcar respectively on his last two appearances; easing mark and claimer ridden but difficult to make a case for on recent form. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark when making all over C&D in June when 9lb lower; last of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month but likes it here so must be of interest. |
5/1 |
|
10th 10 (12) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Returned to form with a bang when easily making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; she has an in-and-out profile and is unproven on turf, while she's 9lb higher today, but she could take plenty of catching if reproducing that latest performance. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Enters calculations on the form of her C&D second in March but she's been well below that form in 7f handicaps at Kempton and Catterick since; needs to bounce back. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came on AW at Southwell (7f) in March; has plenty of placed efforts on her CV, and didn't get the breaks when sixth (Surgeon Commander fourth) at Doncaster latest; should give her running from what is a reasonably competitive mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW and overall record is just 1-19; however, turf form includes a respectable fourth over C&D in April; frame possibilities. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won two in a row (1m, soft/good) prior to a clear, close second behind a well-treated rival at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Monday; she returns to action before a 5lb rise kicks in and she has leading claims. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a breakthrough win at Carlisle (1m) in May and comfortably followed up over C&D 17 days ago; hiked up 9lb here but she can go well again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came good at 13th attempt, making all to fend off warm favourite at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) last month; should be fine on the forecast faster ground here and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Second in a field of four when tried over this far three runs back; has since won a 1m2f classified race and finished third in another when penalised; should run well provided his stamina stands the test. |

3rd 11 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Successfully dropped to this level when off the mark at the 17th attempt at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; major player if turning out again. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-16 but made brave bold from the front before weakening into third at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month and faced impossible task when second of four behind well-handicapped rival here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be suited by this drop back in trip; dangerous if allowed to dominate. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who has shown no progress since switched to handicaps; however, pedigree suggests this further move upward in trip may spark a bigger effort. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Midfield when 40-1 shot in similar event over C&D last week, shaping as if further may prove ideal (pedigree backs up that impression). |
