Won well off a similar mark over C&D (good to soft) last April; inconsistent since but the return to this scenario and drop back to 0-70 level may have positive effect; respected. |

Near miss over C&D in December off 1lb higher; well beaten twice since, although he had an excuse last time having gone off too fast in a 1m2f amateur event here 11 days ago; can do better today. |

9st 13lb |
Eight-time course winner who may have needed his recent reappearance outing here; however, he raced just twice last season and this 11yo needs to come on a bundle for that latest run, having been well beaten. |

Eight-time course winner; ran just twice last season, when runner-up at Musselburgh in April and down the field over this C&D in September; now an 11yo and he's possibly best watched on his return to action. |

9st 1lb |
Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |

Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins here if anywhere, and his most recent success of May 2022 was gained in a C&D 0-75 off 3lb higher (good); needs to put a below-par effort at Ripon last month behind him, but that's not impossible. |
20/1 |

Has gained both wins at Thirsk; made the frame there (soft/good to firm) in two of last three outings; placed off 3lb higher on sole attempt here, so looks difficult to dismiss. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade. |

Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark. |

A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

Two wins (0-65 and classified) to show from eight C&D starts, but has offered too little back here either side of March's Newcastle classified success and it's three years now since her most recent handicap score. |

Two-time C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a snug win in a 7f classified event at Newcastle 17 days ago, asserting in the final 100 yards; more on her plate back in a handicap but holds each-way claims. |
