24th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Remains a maiden after 14 starts but he's consistent and was a good third over C&D (soft) in March; didn't quite see out 3m1f here later that month; has had wind op since and holds each-way claims on his return. |

Consistent maiden who was close up over 3m at Ayr (just behind Artic Mann) before finishing third here where dropping back to 2m3f found him out (was staying on); unlikely to be far away. |

Won first race since 2019 when scoring by nearly 10l here last time (good to soft, Cudgel well back in sixth but 12lb better off); now 10lb higher; acts on heavy ground; worth considering. |

Goes well from the front and won a Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) in December, but he's far from consistent these days and ran poorly at Ffos Las six weeks later; chance may depend on getting an uncontested lead. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Easily won two-finisher Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago, after a layoff, but the value of that form is open to question and he's been very inconsistent in recent years; not an easy one to predict. |

Drew clear to win by 26l at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December and is only 4lb higher here but was well below that form on both subsequent appearances and has become a very hard horse to predict. |

Ended a 13-race losing run in emphatic fashion at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December, but blew out completely when sent off a warm favourite back there (soft) last month; a contender on that penultimate effort, but there are risks attached. |

From out of the handicap he's 2lb higher than when running well in fourth of 15 (good to soft) in this race 12 months ago; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game more recently and is now 0-31. |

11st 6lb |
Shot up 16lb for her back-to-back wins (2m3f/2m5f) and, although a bad mistake was no help when last to finish at Carlisle, it could be that the handicapper has caught up with her. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Thriving mare who bids to compete a hat-trick after clear wins at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) this year; shooting up the weights but needs to be taken very seriously in current form. |
4/5 |

1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

Has returned from a break in decent form, placed twice over 2m3f at Wetherby (soft/good); every chance he will be thereabouts again but one or two others make more appeal for the win. |
