9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six turf wins include one here (1m2f, good to firm) in August; had wind surgery before a fair comeback at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when fifth of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; drop back in trip no reason to rule him out and he's respected. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

In good form with a pair of 1m2f fast-ground wins last summer; ought to be sharper for Doncaster reappearance 13 days ago and on a workable mark if back close to his best. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-8 over hurdles and no improvement in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when fifth of ten finishers over C&D (good to soft) last month; needs to show more. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break. |

10st 1lb |
Not been in the best of form (13l-sixth here last week) since Pontefract win in June (1m2f, good to firm); has won on soft, but ideally suited by quicker ground; others appeal more. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time course winner who was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run and he had an excuse when returned to 1m4f here last time; now drops back in trip and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won in April and has mostly run respectably since; familiar face here, including with seven wins and nine seconds, but in a 68-race career he's only once (well beaten at 1m4f in 2019) been beyond 1m2f. |

3rd 1 (10) |

On an 11-race losing run but he's a seven-time course winner (1m/1m2f) who ran well when fourth over 1m here on Tuesday; might not be far away. |

Yet to win in 14 attempts on turf, but has a chance on her C&D second last month (soft); not so good last time, but wouldn't rule out. |

6th 11 (8) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

C&D winner in January and been in good form this summer, reaching the frame again when second at Beverley (1m2f) 12 days ago; likely to be on the premises but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable to at least one of the 3yos in this line-up. |

0-13 on turf, but three fair runs since a visor went on, including over C&D (soft) and on Tapeta last time; a chance. |
