17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Grand stable servant who wins in his turn; successful at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and has made the frame back on turf on his last two starts; place claims once again. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Second in the 2024 running of this; nine wins include five on turf, all around this trip on a sound surface; won at Newcastle (AW) in February and it was a fine effort from the widest stall when second of 14 at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) 11 days ago; big shout. |

Got his head back in front at Newcastle (1m2f) in February; down the field both starts since, although a wide trip didn't help back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago; hasn't had much luck with the draw again. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
20/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll. |

6th 9 (3) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 but he ran a big race at a big price when third in classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he has each-way claims again if he can repeat that form. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |

Winless since 2023 and he beat only one after six months off in 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford ten days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

13-race maiden; good second with a first-time visor (retained) at Newcastle last time (1m); chance on that form, but unproven at 1m2f (well beaten on last run over C&D) and fast ground a concern. |
6/1 |

Yet to get his head in front but he wasn't discredited when sixth of ten in 1m Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and he's one to consider off a falling mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
11yo who has plenty to prove on the evidence of this year's three runs; however, he's 6lb lower than when winning at Redcar last October and perhaps the return to Carlisle will trigger a revival, with his course form figures reading 4106231. |
20/1 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Veteran with 12 wins but he's lost his way and has struggled after slow starts in both runs this spring; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around back up in trip. |

13th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Started out in bumpers; easily best of his three runs in handicaps came when fading into fourth of eight here (1m4f, good) on penultimate start but others have far more solid claims. |
16/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Started out in bumpers and was well held in his first six starts but he shaped with promise when a fading fourth in a Leicester handicap (1m4f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and could be dangerous if he can build on that back in trip; all of his turf runs have been on good/good to firm. |
