17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Losing run dates back to July 2023; conditions are no problem for this veteran and he has been running respectably of late; others appeal more all the same. |

2nd Apr 2024 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has been a useful stayer in his time but losing run is up to 16, despite him having fallen 21lb below his last winning mark, and last two efforts were well below his best; best to look elsewhere. |

Defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2022; however, recent form is nowhere near that level and he finished behind two of these rivals here five weeks ago; losing sequence looks set to continue. |

Veteran whose last win on the Flat was in April 2019; finished last of six over C&D in March and pulled up over hurdles last month; easily passed over. |

Came good over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October 2022 but not seen over jumps since and has not been firing on all cylinders on the Flat this year. |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Winner in Ireland on her debut and promise for Harry Dunlop last winter; new connections seem to be struggling to nail down her best trip (raced between 8.6f and 2m in three outings) but her most encouraging effort came over C&D on penultimate start; eased another 3lb and there's still time for her to click for this yard. |

23rd May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well below best form since returning from long absence this year and was unsteerable before being pulled up at Fakenham in March; due to run at Market Rasen (8.15) last night; others look much less risky. |

made all, not fluent 3rd, not fluent 5th, increased tempo and 5 lengths ahead after 3 out, pushed along before 2 out, ridden approaching last, reduced lead run-in, kept on well towards finish |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 1m2f Flat/AW winner who made all in a mares' novice over C&D (good) two years ago; well beaten in a 2m AW handicap and pulled up after steering issues in a Fakenham claiming hurdle in just two starts since a lengthy absence; big revival needed. |
