Course winner who has been a wonderful servant to the yard but now on the decline; won off this mark on Lingfield AW (5f) last November, but well held in four starts since. |

Front-running teenager who won three times last year (once over C&D); not firing on all cylinders in recent months, though, and recent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

Multiple winner down the years and he retains some ability despite being well into the veteran stage; missed the break when well backed at Lingfield on penultimate start but had no excuses here last week; others stronger for win purposes. |

Moderate strike-rate but sole win did come at this venue and she ran well in similar event over C&D a week ago; another to consider. |

23rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced all four starts for Michael Appleby and now 0-14 overall; didn't run badly over 6f last time and is not fully exposed over 7f but others in this field have much stronger claims. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (10) |
30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has some competitive form but not been firing of late and he's drawn wide; now 0-13. |

11th 6 (11) |
21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
12-race maiden; has bits of encouraging form and this is just his third run for Mick Appleby, but he's not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; well beaten in his two runs with a visor for former yard and now tries cheekpieces. |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Slow starter is drawn on the inside; seemingly right back to form when 100-1 third over C&D last time but very much benefited from sitting off a strong pace; this may not pan out so well. |

All four wins have come over 5f here and it was at that distance that she went close to springing a shock here last month; failed to back it up two weeks ago and she has been unplaced in all eight 6f runs. |

Landed 7f classified event at Lingfield in February and not disgraced in handicaps since, sixth of ten there (6f) last time; merits serious consideration back in classified company here. |
3/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win 7f classified here in February but found things a bit tougher in her two subsequent handicaps (7f/6f); usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; others look stronger. |

4th 4 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Unplaced favourite last time when bidding for a Lingfield double (7f) but shaped as if this return to 6f will suit; has lots of sprinting form. |

0-11 but placed a few times, including when third of ten over C&D last time (just behind Universal Grace); down another 1lb, but she is a hold-up horse and those tactics aren't easy to execute over the minimum trip here. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
15th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has not gone on from a useful 6f effort on Lingfield AW in December but down weights and the return to Polytrack could suit after getting quite badly hampered over 5f at Yarmouth in July; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
5 (3) |
19th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden who was safely held over C&D when dropped back in trip 19 days ago; hood removed after one use; needs to up her game. |
