1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |

9th 12 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Made all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January and head second to Berkshire Sundance at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) later that month; not quite at the same level at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to settle; Newcastle form figures read 12139 and he has an each-way shout. |

Kempton winner (2m Class 4; 3-1, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; went close to following up - pipped on the post - at Lingfield (2m; 9-2) subsequently; this asks a slightly sterner question over a new distance on the Flat; likely to give another positive account. |

Grand stable servant who wins in his turn; successful at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and has made the frame back on turf on his last two starts; place claims once again. |

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. |

Got his head back in front at Newcastle (1m2f) in February; down the field both starts since, although a wide trip didn't help back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago; hasn't had much luck with the draw again. |

9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (6) |

8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Developed into a very useful handicapper for Ray Craggs in 2024, including a C&D win on good to firm; failed to scale the same heights for David Thompson in 2025 but has a reduced mark to work with now back under the care of his owner. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer and better than the result (met trouble) when fifth to Sir Busker in this 12 months ago; shaped as if retaining all his ability when sixth on C&D return in June and there have been excuses for two lesser runs since, with Thirsk fifth last time coming over a 7f trip which is likely a little on the short side for him nowadays; no shock were he to go well. |
25/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won two in a row on turf last May/June (1m/1m2f) for Ray Craggs (who still owns him) and fair sixth on stable/seasonal debut at York (1m2f) in June; might not have been over those exertions when well held over 1m on AW at Newcastle 13 days later; effective over 7f. |

Dual AW winner over similar trip on Tapeta but no wins since 2021; while he wasn't beaten far in a Sligo claimer over this trip in August, he posted two lesser efforts subsequently that month; may need this after 148 days off. |

Four-time AW winner including in this race in 2023; went close over 1m2f here in April but he's lost his way since and has been beaten 15l or more in three runs for current yard; cheekpieces are now reapplied and he needs a major revival. |

10st 12lb |
Doesn't win all that often (2-27) and hasn't really kicked on since finishing runner-up at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; that said, there were mitigating circumstances (hampered) at Newcastle last time, so he may get closer to Point Louise. |

Went close at Redcar last month and he's effective here; not discounted but his profile has been patchy over the last 12 months and he was soundly beaten at Nottingham last time; has to bounce back. |
