19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Second to an in-form subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) last month and again ran well when close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) nine days ago; remains on a workable mark; must be considered. |

On the go since the turn of the year but largely in good nick and he came second of nine in 7f Ayr handicap three weeks ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

Useful on AW on his day but 0-21 on turf; handicapped accordingly but his latest C&D 12th didn't suggest he was the answer to today's puzzle. |

Belied 100-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 off his much higher AW mark at Newcastle (6f) last week but has 0-20 strike-rate on turf; others have more persuasive profiles. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

9yo who needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice but before those he was a creditable fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and ran well enough to think he's still in reasonable form when fifth in a higher grade than this at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 10 (2) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last weekend which gives him a fighting chance here but he has a better overall record on that track than this one and remains on much the same mark as when well adrift of Trilby here in April. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner but turf successes are thin on the ground now, just one in over three years; however, he's been running up to his best since back on grass, going down narrowly in a higher grade at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in May and another solid effort there last time; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Tough sort whose form over C&D features a success last August and sound efforts in two of his last three outings; ties in with two of today's rivals on the latest one; solid chance. |

5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Exposed sprinter who wins in his turn these days but his C&D record reads 312; that latest visit was just one month ago and he competes from the same mark as when far from disgraced in midfield at York a fortnight ago; each-way contender. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Course winner who was fourth of 13 in this last year and was a close second at Catterick last month; however, this inconsistent 9yo has been soundly beaten on his last two starts and has to leave those runs behind. |

|
8th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |

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. |

Versatile trip-wise having been placed at up to 1m5f, while his latest win came over 6f here in December; rather in and out since and he failed to beat a rival at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) six days ago; others safer. |
