24th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A fair 5f/6f winner in 2022 but he's yet to offer much in three runs this season after a 19-month absence; he's falling in the weights but still needs to take a big step forward. |

11st 2lb |
A two-time 5f/6f scorer in 2022 but off for 19 months before beating only one in 5f Catterick handicap five days ago; he should take a step forward now. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark at Tipperary last August over this trip; some solid efforts since including on comeback behind Happy Henry at Navan; can improve from that and is in the mix. |

6th 22 (13) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Won off 2lb lower at Tipperary last season (5f, good); failed to beat a rival when last seen at Dundalk in January; record when fresh suggests he might need this run. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four of his seven wins have been here, three over 6f and the other at this trip; should come on for his run at Carlisle a week ago (6f, good) when returning from a 70-day break; can go well. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass). |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has the ability to win off this mark and she's coming here in good order; does need everything to fall just right though and her strike-rate tempers enthusiasm. |
7/1 |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest 2-26 strike-rate and beaten on her last 12 outings, but she's been a good fourth on her last two starts (5f/6f, heavy/soft) and seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Thrown in on his best form but unplaced all five starts this season, behind Golden Rainbow at Thirsk on latest; needs a revival. |

24th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
In decent nick without winning until turning in a poor ninth at Ripon (5f) only five days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces; now with a bit to prove from 1lb out of the handicap. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth success when seeing off ten rivals over C&D (good) in May; only narrowly denied another at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but below par when 3l third of five at Nottingham latest. |

3rd 4 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth success when winning at Catterick (5f, good) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's and he was narrowly denied at Thirsk (5f, good) nine days ago, bouncing back from a lesser effort; contender. |
15/8 |

2nd 10 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Resumed winning ways at Catterick (5f) in May but he was well below par when eighth of 12 over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D scorer is the sort to bounce back though; blinkers refitted. |
16/1 |
