Impressive at Haydock (5f, good to firm) in May but hasn't repeated the form, fifth of 13 in a Racing League event at Newcastle nine days ago; a few others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |

Resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f) in May but failed to beat a rival in ten-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f) 18 days ago; this course scorer has a bit to prove now. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Close up on consecutive outings in May (5f/6f) and also ran well when sixth of 21 at York (6f, good; behind Woven) last month; still on a workable mark and ought to be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Exposed 7yo but he arrives in good form, beaten only a neck at Thirsk two weeks ago; 0-8 at York but has run well here on several occasions; should be thereabouts. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |
16/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run up to 13, but running well in defeat lately and fared best of those on his side when fourth of nine at Chepstow (5f, soft) 11 days ago; record over C&D reads 314; player. |
4/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, leading long way when third of five over C&D eight days ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |

14 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Placed in her first two starts for this yard before bolting up in a Class 4 handicap at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); she's come up well short in two Listed events since, though, and is likely to do so again here. |
40/1 |

12th 4 (13) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |

4yo who posted a career best when easily winning Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to firm) in June, but she's since been soundly beaten in a Listed race at York (5f, good to soft); others are preferred. |
