18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who is a multiple course winner and perhaps needed latest run (back from layoff); losing sequence is mounting up, however. |

2nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran winner of 11 races here, mostly over this trip; hasn't got his nose in front for 15 months but was placed over C&D when just 1lb lower earlier in the year; not ruled out. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three AW wins, the most recent over 7f at Southwell in February; respectable fourth, running on, over C&D last time when back from layoff; in the mix. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handy sort who has been successful three times on the AW this year; has won four times on turf, but was found to have bled at Ayr last time; others more convincing. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Successful three times over 6f on Newcastle AW this year; ran well at Musselburgh (7f, good; neck second) returned to turf last week; now 2lb higher but Cara Tuke removes 7lb; respected in current form. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made it three wins in his last four starts (all 6f at Newcastle) when seeing off ten rivals in an apprentice race last week; former C&D scorer so the step back up in trip shouldn't be an issue and he escapes a penalty. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Regained the winning thread at Hamilton (6f, good) last time and remains favourably treated on peak form; defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D last August and warrants respect. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

22nd Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has run respectably on last two starts but he's not won for almost two years and is more of a place prospect than a win-only one. |
