25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Promising in his first three 2yo runs but he couldn't quite cut the mustard in nurseries thereafter; gelded prior to his reappearance; still has time to do better but he returns in a warm race. |

Of interest on the form he showed on his first three starts but stepping up to 6f hasn't helped in either nursery run; eased in class this time and he's high on the list back at 5f. |

Ran okay at Thirsk (5f, good) in May but that is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; others look more persuasive. |

A fairly useful 5f juvenile winner who reappeared having been gelded with a modest effort here in May; much better a fortnight later when fifth of 12 at Thirsk (also 5f, good); stays 6f and could step forward again. |

0-8 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed four times between April and June; not at his best here (6f, good) four weeks ago but it was still a fair run and dropping back in trip won't hurt. |
7/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He was stuck in the placings when running well this spring and again couldn't quite put it to bed when runner-up at Chester (6f, soft; acts on quicker) a fortnight ago; mark is creeping up but it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of it once more. |

Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Wasn't winning out of turn when taking a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in May; didn't get the clearest run at Chester three weeks ago but that took his turf record to 0-11; others are more appealing. |

A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |

Five wins this year, three of them over C&D; took her form to a new level when winning at Hamilton 19 days ago but a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out today. |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off 6lb higher; back to winning ways when seeing off ten rivals at Ayr (5f, good to firm; made all) 18 days ago; this is a higher grade but the horse he beat last time ran well at Goodwood on Tuesday; not ruled out. |

Won off an 11lb mark at Musselburgh last August (5f, good); hasn't run as well since and below-par over same C&D last time (good); dropped another 3lb so no surprise if he were to go well. |

Grand servant to connections and he was recording the 19th win of his long career when successful at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; four subsequent defeats have seen him slip to a mark 2lb lower than for that win; has won over C&D but likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Admirable veteran who had a wicked draw in a C&D handicap last month that he'd won three times before; better boxed this time and there was much to like about his previous effort at Thirsk; considered. |

Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |

Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |
