21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins in the first half of the year, including C&D, and he has performed with credit on his last three starts; likely to be in the thick of it once more. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in April off a 2lb lower mark than today's and he raced wide when second of 13 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in July; drops back in trip with good claims. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner at around 1m early in the year, latterly off 1lb lower, who's been this far only once (C&D last backend), when well held; offered more last time but stamina remains a worry. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
0-9 and starting to look exposed, but she represents a powerful yard and the drop in trip may be no bad thing; hood returns. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Only had the seven races and could improve for going this far judged on her keeping-on fifth over 1m2f at Pontefract; was beaten only 2.5l that day. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he isn't very consistent and ran particularly poorly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; has questions to answer. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |
16/1 |

7th 14 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Regular here but only ninth in his last visit and wasn't in much form prior to that; needs a revival. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year during a busy schedule and was runner-up at Wolverhampton before getting stuck in the mud at Haydock; very effective here. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tough filly whose 14 runs for Karl Burke last year included a win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and an unlucky runner-up spot in this race (good); kept busy for this yard too, adding another three AW wins to her record; not far off her best when second last time and she could have a say if soft ground doesn't dent her prospects. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Close third over C&D (good to firm) early last month and that performance puts him in the mix, but he's been inconsistent this year and was only fifth of six behind Clipsham Noble over C&D (good to firm) last time; the cheekpieces adopted on that latest start are left off. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came in a 1m Lingfield maiden last August when trained by the Crisfords; has dropped a fair way in the weights since joining this yard and he ran well when third over this C&D 18 days ago on first try over this far; can go well again with cheekpieces now added. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend. |
