15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly progressive record on turf for current yard features good-ground wins at Chester (7.5f) and Pontefract (1m) last June; may still have more to offer and remains of interest, despite an absence since July; market confidence would cement her claims. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Turned things around after break when scoring over C&D last month and she followed up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days later; held in hat-trick bid at Pontefract last week but she travelled for a long way and found more progress with that creditable second; only 1lb higher here and she's strongly respected back at this track. |

Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

9st 9lb |
Excuses when last seen but was otherwise expensive to follow for Roger Varian before picked up for 25,000gns in December; ran well first time out as a 2yo on Tapeta, though, and this mark should be within range if ready to go after six months off. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |

Ran as well as she was entitled to in a Carlisle 1m3f maiden (soft) last month and had previously lost out only late to Sibling Rivelry at Goodwood (1m4f, good); has a weights pull with the latter and solid to go well. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Quite late in the day to be going beyond an extended 1m for the first time; often makes the running and can race freely, so will need to settle early from a wide stall back from ten weeks off; not in much form when last seen either way. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is now 1lb lower than for the latest of them; not at best in two runs here this winter but this represents a drop in class. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

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. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

10st 2lb |
Got back on the scoresheet when making virtually all for a narrow success at Wetherby (1m2f) last month; finished a tailed-off last of five at Nottingham seven days later but that may have come soon and it was an experiment at 1m6f; now drops back in trip and has claims if he can bounce back. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Easily made all at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) ten days ago and did likewise under a 5lb penalty in apprentice handicap at Carlisle (1m1f, good) on Friday; unpenalised for latest win but new mark has kicked in, which is 6lb higher than that which she raced off two days ago; in a tougher race today but clearly thriving and she's a leading candidate if her fine form continues. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who has begun to tap into the abundant potential in her pedigree, with two wins at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) this spring; has also run well away from Musselburgh; did it very easily last Thursday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop her if her fine form continues (she's 6lb well in). |

Having a fine year, winning for the fourth time when scoring at Ripon 13 days ago (1m2f, good); still feasibly weighted but previous 1m4f efforts haven't seen her convince with her stamina. |

Three wins on AW at Newcastle (1m2f) since January including a cosy success last Friday; this is tougher under a penalty but she's still lightly raced on turf and was third in a big field at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on her penultimate run; shortlisted. |

0-6 on the Flat for Edward Bethell but signed off for him with good third of 14 at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; RPR 77) in October; changed hands for 15,000gns soon afterwards; could have a say on stable/hurdle debut. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |

Losing run is mounting up but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 2l at Ayr (1m, soft) on Tuesday; hard to rule out another good run but this is a quick turnaround and that latest form was in a Class 5. |

Sole win (from 18 attempts) came back in August 2024 and he was down the field on this month's reappearance at Ayr; however, he may have needed that run and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form (including here); each-way chance if he's back on song. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
