30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |

Four wins last year and has run with credit on his three starts this term, albeit he is 6lb higher than his last winning mark; should run well but needs a career-best to get his head in front. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took a while to put her head in front but having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f; blinkers first time), she followed up in emphatic fashion at Newcastle last week; escapes a penalty for that win and she's due to be 9lb higher in the future; obvious claims. |
15/8 |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made her breakthrough at the 13th attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and she's still unexposed on AW; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; regularly run well in defeat this year, going down narrowly over 1m at Thirsk three weeks ago; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner (good) last October; also runner-up off today's mark back here in November and could play a prominent role again if fully primed after 134 days off. |
11/1 |
|
12th 1 (10) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Useful in previous incarnation over longer trips; on handy mark now and after running fast for a long way over C&D (first 6f run) in September he won with plenty to spare at Musselburgh (7f; visor off) last week; the ability is there to make light of a 4lb penalty. |

Won off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November but she's been a long way below that level on her last four starts. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |
33/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle last November; back down in the weights but that is a result of disappointing efforts on her last two starts. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

6 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Most effective at sharp tracks; justified favouritism when fending off Ideal Guest over C&D (good to firm) last July and now 5lb lower; step back in the right direction when third to Filey Beach over C&D (14-1, beaten over 2l) ten days ago; interesting to see if she can back that up. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Two-time C&D winner, the latest last July when 5lb higher; however, she has to better what she's achieved on her two runs this year. |
20/1 |

5th 7 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Favourably handicapped on last summer's form but hard to draw any positives from last week's Redcar reappearance after wind surgery. |
