Ended a losing run with a front-running 5f win at Doncaster in March (soft); in and out since and there are other pace influences in this field. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

Extended his run of creditable efforts last time, when he divided Huddle Up and Count d'Orsay at Carlisle; no problems with ground/track/trip and likely to give it his best shot again. |

Back to winning form at Thirsk (6f, heavy) last month and has twice run well since, fourth of nine on ground that would have been quick enough at Beverley (5f) last time; considered under his promising amateur. |

Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; not disgraced at Ripon next time; should make another bold bid. |

Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; there wasn't much separating the first five but he's only 2lb higher here and should give it another good shot. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |

7th 6 (1) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April before finishing fourth there over 6f next time; however he's been down the field in four starts since (5f-7f); back on AW. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher. |

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and ran creditably over C&D in February; raced wide from an outside draw back at Wolverhampton last time; that run is best ignored and he can bounce back. |
