21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; three turf victories this year, the latest in a Class 3 at Hamilton in August; disappointing back at Hamilton in September when soft ground shouldn't have been an excuse; the latest run raises a question now. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 in top form, winning twice at Beverley (5f, soft), but she has looked rusty on both her starts this year; absent another seven weeks since her last run and probably best watched. |
50/1 |

9th 5 (6) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
In great form on soft ground last autumn but was punished by the assessor for a Listed effort that possibly flatters her; never figured in AW event two months ago; current mark seems difficult. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a 15-race losing run when scoring by a head over C&D last month; only midfield under his penalty at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) next time, but each-way claims back here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
First win for 11 months when leading towards the finish at Southwell (5f, AW) 11 days ago; carries a 5lb penalty and has yet to win back to back in his 43-race career. |
10/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got back on track for his current yard when third of five in 6f Hamilton handicap in August; can make his presence felt from a slipping mark. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A fairly useful winning juvenile for Richard Hannon but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, off four months before coming in fifth of six in 5f Pontefract handicap 26 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent rather than progressive for Richard Hannon; has finished last in two runs for this yard on either side of wind surgery; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; just missed out over C&D last month (blinkers first time) when finding only Betweenthesticks too strong; ran okay at Beverley next time and he was drawn wide when disappointing back there ten days ago; stable also run Changeofmind. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close second at Pontefract and respectable fourth over C&D since wearing blinkers; losing run is mounting up but he again has frame possibilities in the retained headgear. |
8/1 |
