Effective over C&D and well handicapped on his 2023 form; however, following a mammoth absence this 7yo finished down the field on his three outings last month and others have less to prove. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m, good) in spring 2024 and will also be suited by today's trip-and-surface combination but returned from long absence with 15l defeat last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in good style at Windsor (1m, good) in April 2024 and this 7yo is well treated now 2lb higher if retaining that ability; however, he's returning from a 454-day absence so there are questions to answer. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Wolverhampton winner early last year who scored in some style at Windsor (1m, good) this month but was disappointing under his penalty at Pontefract (1m, soft) six days ago; not quite sure what to expect after that; stable also runs Visibility. |

Back to winning ways over C&D (soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (1m, soft); his last four wins have come on soft ground but he showed solid form on good going last year and this 8yo could go well once more. |

Navan winner last summer (1m) but form this year so far poor, stone last on both recent outings; hard to be confident in and wide draw a negative. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Three wins at shorter trips, including 1m Navan success last summer off 80; two runs over same trip in May leave him with lots to find although senior rider now takes over from inexperienced claimer. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Took a step back in the right direction with his close sixth at Haydock on latest start and he's back in the visor in which his last five wins have come, including two last season (7f, good to firm); entitled to respect. |
18/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Came good at Goodwood last August (7f, good to firm), running on strongly to bag a Class 2 handicap; faced a stiff task in a Thirsk conditions event on his reappearance two weeks ago; opposable with his usual visor remaining absent. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Useful sort who landed fast-ground handicap wins over C&D and at Goodwood last year; however, he has plenty to find on these terms and failed to beat a rival on his reappearance in 2024 and 2025. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C&D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11yo who won three times last year, including this race (good to firm); this front-runner has been placed at Pontefract (1m, good) and Ripon (1m2f, good) on his last two starts; 3-5 at Ayr and he's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
14-time winner including seven times at Ripon; his last success was off 5lb higher last summer and he returned to form with a second at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; hasn't run over this far for a long time but he used to be effective at this trip and most of his wins have been in May-August. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |

Not an easy horse to win with but he had a solid AW campaign and is on a feasible mark; below par back on turf 12 days ago and needs to bounce back quickly. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He has turned in a string of good runs on the AW since November but such consistency ensures he gets little respite from the handicapper; others may prove better treated today. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ultra-consistent RPRs this winter, and just a short-head away at Wolverhampton latest from adding a belated second win on synthetics and first on Tapeta (7f); 4lb better off with Legal Reform for a 1.5l defeat over the same C&D on Boxing Day, and possibilities off an unchanged mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started this season with good thirds at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Doncaster (1m, good) but he missed the break and finished in rear at Carlisle last time; bit to prove again after that and he's won only once in last 20 starts. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Contesting this race for the fifth successive year, winning it 2018 and 2019; no better than sixth in the last two runnings but wouldn't be without hope if reproducing his penultimate run at Chester when prevailing comfortably. |
10/1 |

14th 10 (9) |
23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Goes particularly well at Redcar but is able elsewhere as he showed when winning easily last week at Chester under Emily Roberts; a 5lb rise isn't beyond him at all. |
7/1 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Redcar specialist (six wins there) who sits 3lb below his last winning mark; ran a solid race when runner-up to the subsequent Wolverhampton scorer Painters Palette on penultimate start, but wasn't quite on song at Beverley (8.5f) subsequently; remains fairly treated but others appeal more. |

Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |

4yo who has regressed and is on a 23-race losing run; however, he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month and was a fair fifth at Doncaster (1m) eight days later; effective on Polytrack; chance. |

On a near two-year losing spell but he's in fair form having made the frame a couple of times in recent starts; on a reduced mark and drops to Class 6 for the first time, so can't be dismissed. |
