9st 12lb |
Won comfortably off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but largely disappointing since; safely held when third in first-time visor over C&D one week ago and needs to find extra today. |

Began season with emphatic handicap win at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but not much has gone to plan for him since and he was well beaten when returned to Pontefract in August; in calmer waters here but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

Scored five times last season (twice over C&D) but yet to hit top form this term, just a fair fifth of nine to Daring Leader at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |

Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

Winless in two years and has regressed sharply this season, proving inconsistent in the visor in 0-55 company of late; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting. |

Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

In good form, winning at Ripon (1m, good) and Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) before a decent third off this mark (10lb higher than second win) back at Beverley last time (8.5f, good to firm); should go well. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
On the up since front-running tactics were adopted and comfortably landed handicaps at Ripon and over C&D this month; not dismissed lightly in his hat-trick bid saddling a 5lb penalty. |
2/1 |

1st 6 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the 27th attempt when running away with a Ripon handicap ten days ago (1m, good); well in under a penalty and she is ideally drawn to attack again but it remains to be seen if she can repeat the feat. |
