18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

Prolific here during the 2024/25 AW season but he's beaten one rival in two starts after an absence; couldn't support with any confidence. |

27th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing sequence at Newcastle (1m) in January and largely in good form since, set a lot to do when fifth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m) 19 days ago; considered. |

In good form on the Newcastle AW this year but not at the same level back on turf here (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-11 on grass. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two attempts over C&D, including off 2lb higher in this race last year, comprise his only wins for Craig Lidster; effective when fresh; interesting returned to this scenario on stable/seasonal debut. |
14/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced front-runner who showed promise on turf last summer and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February; well beaten the last twice, however, most recently at Ascot on Wednesday; has to get back on track. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off. |
12/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Unplaced in his three turf runs but a three-time winner on the AW and returns to grass in a good run of form; hard to dismiss. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (3) |
12th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |
