22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won handicaps last season when always prominent at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in May and Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; no show when 14-1 for reappearance one month ago, his first race on good to firm, but it's not hard to think he will be a lot more potent today. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last season with his second win of the campaign at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; yet to race on ground quicker than good but his progressive profile gives him a squeak. |
9/2 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained his breakthrough success at Carlisle (1m1f) in May but he came in last of four in 1m4f Ripon handicap 56 days ago; he's not ruled out back in trip after a break though. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 7lb |
Acts on soft; back in form on last four starts, winning by a neck over 1m2f at Redcar and Leicester (15 ran) on the first and latest occasions; back up another 3lb but has to be a leading player. |

9st 9lb |
Back in form on last three runs, winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) before sound runs at Southwell (1m3f) and Beverley (1m2f, soft; beaten a short head, third has won since); interesting. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Took a while to get off the mark but he has won three of his last seven starts (1m4f-1m6f); poor run over 2m at Southwell two weeks ago; capable of bouncing back now dropping in distance. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled on his first two starts this year but returned to form here over 1m6f 12 days ago, gaining his second success at this track; up 4lb but has good claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f) off 4lb lower last October; reported to have bled from the nose when beaten 34l over C&D last month, but soundly beaten at Catterick (1m4f, good) since; holds claims if he can return to form. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made virtually all in a five-runner race at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to firm) last month and followed up in another small field at Bath (11.5f, firm) 15 days ago; up 6lb for last time and steps up in grade, but can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |
6/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dictated matters from the front to win in a small field at Yarmouth 12 days ago (1m1f, good to firm); effectively 9lb higher as they claimed 5lb that day, but stamina won't be an issue over this far. |
11/10 |

1st 1 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent front-runner who won by a short head off this mark during a solid sequence over 1m2f last summer/autumn, including under Mason Paetel; back-to-form second of five at Leicester on latest outing, so big shout. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
On a losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth in 1m4f Thirsk handicap eight days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) early last year and is now 2lb lower than when winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; mostly struggled since and he was beaten 3l when fifth of nine in first-time blinkers over this C&D 13 days ago. |
