16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |

Ran up a four-timer around this time last year, including two course wins, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; back in form last time and has a fair chance of making it 4-8 round here. |

Third off 8lb higher at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in July; also effective on soft; however, he's failed to threaten on his last four starts. |

11lb lower than when winning at Ripon in July last year (1m, good), but hasn't been in top form this year; could revive with regular cheekpieces being replaced by blinkers (second time he's worn them, no improvement on previous occasion three years ago). |

Both wins have been over 1m at Yarmouth and latest was in August 2022; reached the frame a few times since November but she's been well held over 7f in last two starts; new headgear is now tried but she's not run over this trip for a long time and others are are preferred. |

Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) last month but he flopped in his hat-trick bid there (handicap) last time; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and he's 1-17 on turf. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

Second in the 2024 running of this; nine wins include five on turf, all around this trip on a sound surface; won at Newcastle (AW) in February and it was a fine effort from the widest stall when second of 14 at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) 11 days ago; big shout. |

9st 12lb |
Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years. |

Veteran who has picked up a race or two up to 1m2f in most seasons but has had just two runs this term, well beaten; won off 1lb higher last May; now tries cheekpieces (first headgear since 2021) and he's only once been over this sort of trip (2019). |
