16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |

Well treated on old form but last win was two years ago and she's not posed a threat in her three runs this season; now drops back into a Class 6 event but she needs to find some extra spark. |

Two wins for Peter Niven this year, the second of them a wide-margin success over C&D in April; unplaced in two turf runs for Roger Fell but could fare better back on AW. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) last month but he was always out the back in his follow-up bid here (7f) on Saturday; now steps back up in trip but he has something to prove again on this quick turnaround. |

Eight-time winner with first four on turf and latest four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) in December but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs and needs to bounce back near his best. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner with first four on turf and last four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) last month but he flopped when favourite over C&D ten days ago; a switch to more prominent tactics may have backfired in that race but he needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort. |

In excellent form in refitted visor on Tapata when last seen in spring, winning three in a row (1m-8.6f); has fitness and stamina to prove today but the return to turf on the slow side of good won't be a problem. |

Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Veteran who arrives with form-figures of 78800; however, he has had excuses for several of those defeats and now runs off a career-low mark, so he's not entirely without hope. |
