7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Narrowly repelled Shaladar off 1lb lower over C&D in August (good) but needs to bounce back after two lesser shows. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Below her best at Redcar last time but won there the time before off just 2lb lower (1m, good) and she's capable of bouncing back. |

Recorded her fourth turf win when keeping on well to score over C&D (good) two weeks ago; that was a very narrow success but she's only 2lb higher here and won't mind what the weather does; in the mix. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

9st 9lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up over 8.5f at Beverley in April and May; below his best over that same C&D last month but has good claims on his first try in classified company. |

Veteran whose recent consistent vein of form has taken his C&D record to 14224, latest effort in the race won by Anificas Beauty; remains 4lb below last wining mark; holds solid claims. |

Fourth in three starts off this mark since returning from wind surgery, including twice over C&D, the latest ten days ago (winner has gone in again since); should go well again but a bit more is needed for the win. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Disappointing fifth at Redcar last time but has a good record here and won over C&D (good to soft) two starts ago; could bounce back with big run. |
9/1 |

12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark for the season with last-gasp success at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher here and good 3lb claimer Sean Kirrane is enlisted; this straight mile should also suit; respected. |
7/2 |

9st 13lb |
0-12 since novice win in 2021 and below best when mid-division in the Carlisle Bell last time; however, prior to that he ran two good races over this C&D (good to soft/good) and is not discounted. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Not disgraced on handicap hurdle debut in May, after a break, but finished well down the field on latest outing and could be considered only if lively in the betting here. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Beaten about 20l when fifth on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) but that run came after a break and he remains unexposed over hurdles; possible improver. |

Seemed best at 7f on the Flat but never won a race; beaten a long way on all four starts over hurdles and the ground wasn't too soft for any of them; handicap debut. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form in the autumn, winning over 6f at Wolverhampton and 7f at Leicester (heavy); not quite so good on last two starts (7f and 8.5f); could bounce back. |
12/1 |

2 (5) |
4th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered. |
