1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since April 2023; has conditions to suit here and some of his spring/summer form puts him on the premises but he was pulled up last time (bled) and others have more appealing profiles. |

Veteran is winless since 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when third of six in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel 25 days ago; he's no forlorn hope. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was well beaten on latest outing in March but has a C&D win on his CV and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; cannot be ruled out. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose form has been up and down since he won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last February but he's dropped down the weights and performed respectably at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December when last seen; he could benefit from today's step back up in trip and he's in with a chance. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |

Veteran; winner over C&D in February off this mark (good to soft) but hasn't been in quite the same form since; withdrawn on account of fast ground last time; further rain will suit. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid. |

20th May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Out of form since returning from long absence and looked an unlikely winner before unseating at the third-last fence at Perth last month; might be boosted by combination of better ground and first-time cheekpieces here. |

28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Out of form following an absence of 689 days this season, although last two runs have been on heavy ground (has won on soft); could bounce back off a reduced mark but plenty to prove, not least his stamina, although won over 3m pointing. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Nine-time course winner, most recently when holding on gamely to make all off this mark last summer; looked out of sorts when pulled up on all three subsequent outings, though, and age may be catching up with him now. |

9st 12lb

Has returned from a summer break in good form, gaining second win on the Flat this year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; 4lb penalty; sound chance in a modest event back at 1m4f. |

Versatile mare who has yet to win on the AW but has won over hurdles/fences/a bumper and on turf Flat; sound run when runner-up to an easy winner over C&D last time (first three well clear); interesting contender. |
