26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who had edged her way down to a good mark before clearcut C&D (good) win 11 days ago; evidently in good nick but moves up from 0-55 grade today and recent 6lb rise might leave her vulnerable. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; two creditable fourth-place finishes this year; likely to give it another good go under suitable conditions. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
2.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again. |
9/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

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. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 13 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
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 |
9st 5lb |
Favourably handicapped on last summer's form but hard to draw any positives from last week's Redcar reappearance after wind surgery. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unexposed 3yo; hasn't shown a great deal but on a lowly mark for handicap debut and worth monitoring in the market. |
6/1 |
|
6 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
More one for handicaps after this based on her efforts over 6f/7f at Doncaster this month. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
1-27 on the Flat; some of last year's best efforts came here but she's still opposable for win purposes after 190 days off. |

The odd good run this winter and a wind op since his latest run could have a positive effect; stamina for this trip still to be confirmed. |
