3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

Has winning form on soft/heavy, but losing run up to 14 and drops to 5f for the first time since her debut; opposable from out of the weights. |

Often front-runner; fourth of nine over C&D in January but he's struggled in three starts since; another headgear swap; others preferred. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Conditions to suit and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; he does need to bounce back from a couple of low-key runs in February though. |

Has had plenty of chances since last win in March last year and, although he handles a sound surface, his best efforts and the bulk of his turf wins came on soft/heavy. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won this last year off a 9lb higher mark and rarely runs poorly over C&D; he is getting on now, though, and has work to do with a few of these on latest running here. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Three wins and a second from nine visits to Redcar; looked as though the run would bring him on when in midfield at Thirsk 19 days ago; more appealing than many. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he also didn't prove the easiest to catch right; needs to hit the ground running after 165 days off. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D scorer who got back on track when fourth of nine over C&D in July; one to consider off the same mark after a break. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break. |
6/1 |

2 (11) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere. |

24th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Has held his form all winter and boasts a win and a second from two runs over C&D; no obvious reason why he won't go well again but is 5lb above his last successful mark and has done most recent racing in lesser company. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and second of 15 at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time; back to form with close second to Rain Cap at Catterick (7f, good) last Wednesday and shaped then as though he would be fine now back down to 6f, especially at this stiff course and with slow ground expected. |

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Good performances (won then close second) over 1m in March/April; disappointing favourite in two outings since and seems to have lost his form; drops back in trip. |

29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March and went close in a 0-70 handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time, but ran poorly over the same C&D (good) last month; needs to put that behind him but a player if he can. |

11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner; yet to find his best form in three runs for his new yard but last time was more encouraging and this represents a drop in grade; revival not out of the question. |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, tried without headgear when only seventh of ten in 6f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Very well treated on form as recent as last July but this 9yo struggled this season on his three runs for Lisa Williamson and it was the same story at Carlisle 12 days ago on his first start for Adrian Nicholls. |

Veteran who's looked on the downgrade this year; another ordinary effort last time and only holds outside claims. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who has won over C&D in the past but his last success was 15 months ago; has had some traffic issues a couple of times this summer but he's not finished closer than ninth this season and is easy to have reservations; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |
