14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Respectable strike-rate (Flat/hurdles) during his spell with Fergal O'Brien; encouraging placed effort at Kempton (2m5f; second run for new yard) most recently; won a race of this nature at Aintree (2m, soft; off 2lb lower) two years ago. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |
40/1 |

11th 14 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Twice runner-up over 2m from five visits here, plus fourth of 20 in this race in 2024; ran creditably over 1m4f on 2025 return and is 11lb lower for this reappearance, but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
First and second in two visits here (1m6f, soft/good to soft); patchy form so far this year and ideally would prefer further, but she has dropped 5lb lower than when last successful; respected. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |
16/1 |

7th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |

19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on hurdle debut in February 2022 and not seen in this sphere since, but she has developed into a fairly useful Flat stayer in the second half of this year; interesting. |
13/8 |
|
8th 13 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
A three-time 2m winner in 2023 who recorded another solid effort when fourth of 14 to Duke Of Oxford over C&D 16 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Can throw in the odd shocker but she's won three times in 2m handicaps this year, notably when coming from off the pace to score at York in September off 4lb lower; each-way claims on a good day. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Out of form last season but seemed to have turned a corner when second off much-reduced mark at Hexham (2m, good) 16 days ago; player if in similar mood again here. |

2nd 3 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

Second in this race in 2022, fourth in 2023 and 12th in 2024; no win since February 2023 and generally little impact since; tried a tongue-tie latest start and now reverts to his usual cheekpieces. |

He may have needed last month's comeback run here (soundly beaten) and he continues to drop down the weights, but for good reason; last season was disappointing in the main; needs to turn things around; a tongue-tie goes on. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Stays a deal further but has always liked it here and has run well a couple of times over C&D this year; a good pace would help but finished behind Say What You See on turf last time and others hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |

7th 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Absent 348 days before last September but usually competitive since regaining his fitness and went down by a head last month on latest outing; tenth in this race in 2024 on his only appearance at Musselburgh but he's firmly in the mix on other counts. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (1m4/2m) who is just 1lb higher than when successful at Redcar (1m6f, good) in December, but his last two efforts over C&D suggest he needs a return to further. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

Acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form off this 7lb higher mark at Haydock (1m6f, which he stays) 13 days later, however. |
