1st 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

All best form at 6f on good or quicker ground; easily excused a modest farewell to 2025 on account of soft going but he does have something to prove in his first-ever 5f run. |

Chased home Annie Edson Taylor at Hamilton last month but two lesser efforts have followed; others hold more obvious claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick. |
8/1 |
|
7 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off six months and went without his usual cheekpieces when 11th over C&D two weeks ago; he scored twice at Ripon (5f) last May so no surprise to see him take a step forward here in refitted headgear. |
14/1 |
|
11th 2 (10) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came to hand early last year and he returns from a 168-day break off a mark just 1lb higher than for his Ripon win 11 months ago; the absence of cheekpieces tempers enthusiasm this time. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle last time but she remains 4lb above the mark she defied over this trip at Leicester in June; others are more obvious. |
16/1 |

9th 2 (10) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Didn't convince with her stamina in one attempt over this trip in April; had been in good form this summer prior to a blip at Yarmouth latest; others may have greater stamina reserves. |

5th 6 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Hold-up filly who won at Leicester in July and ran to a similar level when a close fourth at Newmarket last time (despite saddle slipping); one to consider. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
0-10 but he's dropped some way in the weights and was a creditable third here (7f) last Tuesday; kept on well in that race and has each-way claims again on this step up to 1m. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 12 (12) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
More realistically treated now than when first handicapping last October but he hasn't been getting near enough to make a case, with stamina for 7f also to prove. |

5th 5 (9) |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with some below-par efforts but built upon satisfactory reappearance run when runner-up at Ayr (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and remains 6lb lower than when winning over that C&D last summer. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Record is 4-28; has form figures of 113 at Ayr, the wins gained off current mark and 6lb higher; interesting returned to this course with Thirsk reappearance (faded late in big field) under her belt. |
9/2 |

8th 14 (16) |

Runner-up in 5f novice in September but has become disappointing this season and was well beaten when upped to 1m on Polytrack a week ago; has too much to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
24th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in Beverley novice last September and he's dropping down the weights after failing to make much impact this season; his sole AW run (final 2yo start) was worse; some recent headgear but none today and he is upped in trip. |

Exposed 21-race maiden; went close in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in November but raced freely and dropped away over that C&D last month; down in grade but he will need to settle better back up in trip. |
