23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Generally performed with great credit last season, including a 6f Hamilton win in May off the same mark as today; never involved in either start this year but his stable's good recent form provides some hope. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, winning a 6f handicap at Hamilton last May off 2lb lower and ending his campaign with a second of nine at Newmarket; never in contention at Beverley on his return to action 16 days ago (7.4f, good to firm) and likely best watched for a yard having a quiet year. |

Won over C&D (good) last month on second stable start; midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good) next time before 1l second of 20 at York (6f, good) last Saturday; he could still have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |

Second to Kats Bob over C&D (good to firm) last year off 3lb higher; has resumed in good form this spring, following Chester near miss with a close second of 13 to reopposing Mae Amor at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; obvious chance off the same mark; second-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |

Stays 1m and two of his three wins came over 7f but a good test over this trip is fine; at his best last year around this time and resumed with a solid effort as favourite at Chester nine days ago (behind The Good Biscuit); will rightly be popular. |

Raced around 5f; creditable in-frame efforts on all four outings this year, notably when neck second of 17 at Thirsk (good) last Saturday; nudged up another 3lb but it shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if proving as effective at the new trip. |

Split James's Delight and Elmonjed in top 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) in 2024; failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his three runs for Paul Midgley have been quite encouraging, faring best of those in the far-side group when sixth of 16 back on turf at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago; considered. |

Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

Very useful on his day for previous yard; nowhere near the same force for his current one but his mark reflects that and he looked to be coming to hand when fourth of 22 over 7f at here at last week's Dante meeting, travelling comfortably in the lead for a long way; not discounted back at 6f. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Dropping down the weights but with some justification; likely to come good again at some stage but others appeal more today. |
16/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Last of seven in Lingfield Class 2 (6f, Polytrack) on reappearance and just mid-division when back on turf at Doncaster (7f) 12 days ago; that took his record to 0-9 since debut win but this represents his easiest task for a while; due a further 2lb drop but still needs a second look. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; understandably not the force of old but won on 2025 reappearance (off 6lb higher) and has a strong York record (6-18). |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; not the force of old but he showed there's still some fire in his belly with a fifth of 13 at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago off 2lb higher; has a win and a second from just two outings here; makes the shortlist. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Class 4 handicap at Ripon on his return in April (6f, good; 2lb higher); heavy defeats have followed and he could do with the ground softening up back at 5f. |
