17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in April and posted another solid effort with third of nine over C&D ten days ago; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back off the same mark as when making a successful stable debut/reappearance over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in April; possible to forgive his latest effort on the AW and holds good claims otherwise, albeit good to firm ground may pose a small question. |
13/2 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and he's remained in good heart on both starts since (1m, good/good to firm); each-way claims provided the return to AW isn't an issue. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |
33/1 |

13th 11 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had one run over hurdles, finishing tailed off in a maiden in late 2024; multiple Flat winner since December and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract last week (1m; stays 1m4f); should run well if jumping stands the test. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1m2f winner who landed a fourth success for this yard when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in March; step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and return to this trip could help. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 4-7 since joining Charlie Clover when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; has also won over 1m2f on turf; disappointing favourite at Pontefract since but was restless in the stalls; may be worth another chance. |
15/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 4-7 for current yard, the wins at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) and on AW, including at Lingfield (1m) on seasonal debut; this improving filly warrants respect. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Last four wins over 1m at Pontefract but he has placed on all three course visits and he arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Redcar (1m, good) last weekend; has won on good to soft; enters calculations. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time winner at Pontefract where he was competitive last month; for whatever reason he never gave his running last week at Thirsk. |
12/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Four-time winner at Pontefract where he's been bang there in his last two races; his only other win was over this C&D so looks a player. |

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 |
|
9 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
4yo filly whose handicap record is split into two halves, namely a progressive one followed by a dismal one; however, 1-1 at this track and could revive if her favoured soft ground materialises. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins at about 1m on soft in 2025 but she had a quiet end to the year and was tailed off on her reappearance at Pontefract; has plenty to prove after that. |
