18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a multiple course winner and perhaps needed latest run (back from layoff); losing sequence is mounting up, however. |

2nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran winner of 11 races here, mostly over this trip; hasn't got his nose in front for 15 months but was placed over C&D when just 1lb lower earlier in the year; not ruled out. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |
4/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

Won three in a row over 1m and 7f at Musselburgh (all on good) last June and July but she wasn't seen after August and two runs this year have been poor; risky. |

Won three in a row over 1m and 7f at Musselburgh (all on good) last June and July but she wasn't seen after August and finished down the field on her recent reappearance; dropped just 1lb and likely other days. |

In top form when last seen on the track last summer, completing a course hat-trick (first over C&D); she needs to hit the ground running after ten months off though. |

Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

Trainer won with three of his last five runners coming into today, all three doing it easily, two at big prices; this triple AW winner has shown enough since returned to turf to suggest he can be a factor at this level. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

3rd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground. |

Front-runner who won here over 7f last season (first-time blinkers); below her best at Newcastle (the scene of her three other wins) when last seen 103 days ago and now steps into class 4 company for the first time. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |

Long-standing maiden in both codes; second in claiming hurdle at Sligo two runs back; 7lb wrong at the weights and hard to fancy in this company. |
50/1 |
|
9th 1 |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
12st 0lb |
Low-rated Flat maiden is 0-9 over hurdles but has placed a few times, including in a Sligo claimer last time (2m1f, good); had a stiff task at the weights that day so it was a creditable effort after a break; needs to build on that but 0-27 overall strike rate is off-putting. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |

Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring over C&D in October but she's not easy to predict and was never involved when favourite here (7f) last time; now drops back in trip but she needs to step up again to make an impact in this competitive race; blinkers back on. |

A bit in and out since winning off 4lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) a year ago, twice finishing runner-up in five starts in 0-50 classified company this year; record of 3-51 a concern and she isn't well drawn. |

Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |
