19th Feb 2026 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner at 1m last June but under the parapet thereafter and he never reached a challenging position at Newcastle last month (dual winner there); temptingly treated but risky. |
16/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and has finished down the field in last three runs but he defied this mark over C&D (good to firm) in June; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he can get back near best. |

9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (6f, Class 5; 6-4 favourite) in March but below that level in three subsequent starts, 2l fifth of eight at Musselburgh (5f; 15-2) latest; vulnerable on those performances. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
12th 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |
|
13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
7th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time C&D scorer but he arrives out of sorts, beating only one in classified event over C&D 40 days ago; he needs this change of headgear to spark a resurgence. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |

9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Market springer when an eyecatching fifth at Ayr (1m, good) 12 days ago but that was in a classified event and this is tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

Not one to trust and had the run of things up front when posting a better performance over 1m1f here recently; not sure to back that up. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

C&D winner last summer; seemingly back in good form when second of 13 here (1m, good) in April, but disappointed on both outings last month and has become hard to predict. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Enters calculations on the form of his second in 1m Musselburgh handicap in April but he beat only one over 7f there 12 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

A longstanding maiden who has performed moderately the last twice, but with a good few places to her name she can't be dismissed. |
