18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and was demoted after finishing first past the post there in March; 0-8 on turf, though, and this may be an insufficient test for her. |
13/2 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 on turf and hanging right on AW has been costly on her last two starts, being demoted from first at Wolverhampton (8.6f) then finishing third at Newcastle (1m; raced mostly alone); however, this front-runner arrives in good heart and has shown promise on grass; could be in the shake-up. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with a bang at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last Friday on her second run back from a break, passing the post in first (demoted; interference); gets a chance for swift compensation off the same mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since 2024 but he got right back on track when second of ten in 1m Ripon handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb but well in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Last turf win was here (1m2f, good to soft; from 6lb higher) in June 2024; fair third at Wolverhampton (8.5f; 10-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step at Doncaster (1m2f) subsequently; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |
14/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |

8th 8 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a solid fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up once more. |

9st 12lb |
3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success. |

1st 5 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but she made a promising return from a 108-day break here two weeks ago; talented claimer takes off a valuable 3lb; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

5th 10 (9) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Easy winner of a 1m handicap at Southwell last September when 9lb lower; up and down since and needs to be at her best to take this after 108 days off. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here. |
5/1 |

1st 11 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo but he's struggled in five runs for his current yard; now 19lb lower than for his opening mark but he has plenty to prove on this drop back in trip; headgear removed. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo; barely beat a rival in five handicap runs in 2025 (sold after the first of them) but he has tumbled down the weights and has his first run in 0-70 company with new headgear fitted; market confidence should be noted. |
10/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
AW novice success on final 2yo start; soundly beaten in three handicaps this season, leaving Charlie Appleby after first occasion; fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a big revival. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
11yo who has plenty to prove on the evidence of this year's three runs; however, he's 6lb lower than when winning at Redcar last October and perhaps the return to Carlisle will trigger a revival, with his course form figures reading 4106231. |
20/1 |

7th 11 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran with 12 wins but he's lost his way and has struggled after slow starts in both runs this spring; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around back up in trip. |
20/1 |
|
11th 10 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran with 12 wins to his name but didn't suggest his next one is near when trailing throughout on his AW reappearance three weeks ago. |
