11th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Good second back on the grass at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month; fair fourth at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) since; likeable and consistent but doesn't obviously have much in hand off her mark. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept on well for close second in fillies' handicap at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last time; this lightly raced 4yo won a C&D maiden (good) last August and is open to improvement now back up in distance; likely player. |
9/4 |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried without usual cheekpieces when beating just two in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; visor is tried again now but others still appeal more. |
13/2 |

6th 1 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has gone 0-24 since winning over 1m1f at York (good to soft) two years ago and needs to improve on this season's efforts. |

9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who has gained three of his four wins over C&D, the latest an easy 4l success in April; this will be tougher from a 6lb higher mark especially with other established trailblazers in the field. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-9 on turf but he made a bold bid when a clear second at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago; up 3lb but he ran into an unexposed improver last time and still looks on a workable mark; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Best on the AW (two wins over 1m at Kempton this year); 18lb lower on turf but hasn't run well enough on his recent starts on grass to suggest he will win this. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

Flat form has largely deteriorated in the last 12 months; shaped better than the bare result over C&D on hurdles debut but suffered a heavy defeat at Fakenham later in October. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |
25/1 |

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap 18 days ago; he needs considering nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained. |
