Back to form to win at Catterick last time (7f, good to firm); just as effective on the AW (C&D winner last December); chance. |

C&D scorer who hinted at a revival when seventh of 12 over C&D two weeks ago; he's very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Back on song with narrow win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; this triple C&D winner now goes back up in trip but he's a mercurial type who needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |

17th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Back on song with narrow win in 15-runner Lingfield handicap (7f, good to firm) last week, his sixth career success; not one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on form as recent as the winter and can cope with today's drop back in trip. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

None too consistent and just two wins from 29 starts; recent efforts here have not been wildly encouraging and now goes in blinkers. |

31st May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
2-28 overall and none too consistent; eight races at Beverley and going down by just over 2l in fifth of 14 on return to turf for latest outing was her best run here; needs to build on that. |

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number. |

C&D scorer who signed off for Brian Ellison with a good second of eight over C&D 24 days ago; since changed hands for £5,000 and she's very much in the mix for her new handler. |

Infrequent winner (3-39), who is not easy to predict but her last success came off this mark and she caught the eye with her strong finish over C&D (fifth of 11) last Thursday; ran into some trouble at a crucial stage in the race and she's an interesting contender. |

Won twice for Martyn Meade at a much higher level back in 2019, but has failed to score since; always behind at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 40-1, held by Storm Asset) last time; highly unlikely to offer the solution. |
