21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

Well handicapped but hasn't obviously hinted as if likely to take advantage soon in his two outings this year, finishing last of six at Southwell last Saturday; visored first time. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
5lb lower than last winning mark and came close to taking advantage when finding only Vantheman too strong at Hamilton (5f, good) last week; meets that rival on 5lb better terms; should be involved in the shake-up once more. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner who boasts a good record at this time of year; will always be reliant on some luck given his hold-up style, which he hasn't had this year; on a handy mark when things do fall his way again, though, and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks. |

9st 12lb |
Both wins came over 5f on the AW early last year; does stay this far, but 0-12 in handicaps and slow breaks continue to hold her back; has the ability to win a race off this mark when things fall right, but risky. |
7/2 |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Yet to win a handicap; she's edging down the weights and has run some good races this year but she's vulnerable to progressive rivals. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past. |
33/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran with a mind of his own but he has slipped back down the weights and ran a fine race over C&D on Monday on his return from a three-month break, keeping on well; this should be run to suit and he is well capable of backing up quickly. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
24th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Not won on AW for nearly two years and mainly below form since last win at Leicester in August; 2lb badly in and plenty to prove back in distance. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Two wins in Britain for Roger Varian but became regressive; best Irish run when second at 50-1 over C&D 12 months ago; subsequent form raises doubts. |

9th 11 (4) |
6th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Two wins in Britain but regressive in last year for Roger Varian; promising stable debut at Laytown in September but well beaten in three subsequent starts and this is sharp enough for him. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who has been back in fine form of late, landing a pair of 7f handicaps at Catterick; up another 3lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |
3/1 |
