2nd 8 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected. |

9st 7lb |
He was winning for the fifth time when landing a 1m handicap at Southwell in December; not far short of that level in defeat on his next two starts; each-way shout if getting a good pace to aim at. |

Placed in Group races over 6f and 7f as 2yo but still no win, this year including in handicaps on three of her last four outings; three of her 2023 runs have been at this track and that form does not look good enough. |

Scored three times at 1m in 2023 and he arrives in very good nick, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap nine days ago; he must enter calculations off the same mark from his inside berth. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

0-10; showed ability at around 1m on turf/Tapeta in 2023, but four efforts this year have been underwhelming; needs first-time eyeshield (replacing cheekpieces) to make a big difference and is not well drawn. |

2nd Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Returned from a long absence last December and he's struggled in nine runs since then; dropped another 4lb but he's a frequent slow starter who makes no appeal back from another break. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Dual course scorer, including this trip off 10lb higher in autumn 2022; hasn't fired lately so will need first-time blinkers (which are added to regular tongue-tie) to have a revitalising effect. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.6f/9.5f) who has dropped 7lb lower than when last successful, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last May raise doubts as to whether he can take advantage. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Habitual slow starter who is 1-20 and usually seen over shorter, though he ran with credit when fourth of eight over C&D in March; makes his stable debut after seven months off but can go well fresh; market useful. |

Habitual slow starter whose sole win came last April over 8.5f at Wolverhampton off 1lb lower; respectable fourth at Southwell (1m3f) in March on latest outing; switches from AW to have his fourth start on turf; needs things to drop right but he's respected. |
