29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Readily landed a division of this race last year and sole win since came in C&D classified contest 34 days ago; should go well, for all that he might be vulnerable to younger legs. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |

C&D winner who has finished third in classified events on three of his four starts this year; first-time blinkers won't need to give him too much extra. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Five C&D wins, the latest from a 3lb lower mark in December; has struggled at double-figure odds on turf lately (Musselburgh and Hamilton) with slow starts a regular feature; drops back into a Class 5 now at a more suitable track, but with enough to prove for the time being. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Enjoyed a superb 2025 when a six-time winner (including here) but yet to fire this season, beating just one home in a 1m Musselburgh handicap last month; she's 4lb out of the handicap too. |
33/1 |

9st 0lb |
Made it 15th-time lucky on stable debut at Hamilton (1m, soft) last September and then won five of his next six starts on the AW, but held in both outings at the start of the year; bit to prove back on turf after three months off. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest Flat maiden and only minor promise in her three races over hurdles; she still has time on her side, though, and she swaps a hood for cheekpieces on her handicap debut. |

4th 10 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Carlisle (1m) last May but her more recent form is much less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; this C&D scorer needs to take a major step forward. |

11th 9 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Creditable third at Southwell in January (1m) but not so good since; seems to stay 1m2f and wouldn't rule out. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Both AW wins have been at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) but her last success was 11 months ago and she's been out of sorts in two runs this spring; down the list. |

Remains an inconsistent maiden and it's still a long time since her sole piece of placed form; opposed. |

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

Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |

9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
20/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

4yo maiden; some fair efforts last term, including here, but this season's campaign has been a write off and wind surgery will need to have worked wonders. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

4yo maiden; record of 442 at classified level includes a respectable fourth in this race last year; needs to bounce back from a dismal reappearance effort. |
