8st 8lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ran out the easy winner of a handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up 6lb but slower ground won't faze him and he can't be ruled out. |

1st 7 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |

Scored on AW in April; inconsistent otherwise of late; has plenty of C&D form, including in this contest, but posted a substandard effort returned to this scenario last time. |

Arrived late to win at Southwell (5f) and only faded late on at Doncaster last week (good to firm); remains in form and she is proven on a stiff 5f. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

Ran okay on her seasonal return in April but she hasn't built on it in four runs since; had 17 runs at 6f+ and she has been unplaced in all of them. |

5th 4 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has done her winning over 5f, most recently off 4lb higher at Pontefract last September (inconsistent since); attractively treated but has something to prove back up in trip. |

11th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five turf wins have been gained on galloping sprint courses, and he's netted a neck second (off 64) and a win in handicaps from two C&D starts; yet to pick up a classified in nine attempts, however, and not an unlucky loser in one at Southwell latest despite running short of room. |
3/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple 5f/6f winner; has made a promising start to life with Ben Haslam this season, set a lot to do when fourth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; drops back into classified company now and this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No longer the force of old but has performed well on all four starts since joining Ben Haslam in March, most recently when keeping-on third at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; big player if this race is run to suit usual come-from-behind tactics. |
