16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C&D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
It's now 13 starts since he scored over C&D last July and he's largely been below par this season, seventh of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 11 days ago; others are preferred. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |

8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often leads; dual C&D winner who has dropped a fair way in the weights since her Southwell win last December; recent efforts on turf and C&D haven't approached that level, though, so she has it to prove for now. |
10/1 |

Multiple turf/AW winner but well beaten both starts following five-month break, including over C&D last time; still to show soft ground is ideal and, although Oisin Murphy rides, others appeal more. |

27th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins on the AW this year, the latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in May; not the easiest to predict, though, and has followed that success with two lesser efforts; not quite sure what to expect. |
6/1 |

8th 8 (3) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Expertly placed to reel off a seven-timer on AW earlier in the year; winning spree came to an end at Wolverhampton in March and he returns to turf (1-13) off a tough mark. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |
