Three wins last year included one at Catterick (7f) and one off this mark (6f, good); absent five months and he will need to be at his best to make a winning return. |

Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting. |

10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
C&D novice winner (good to soft) last October; hasn't kicked on this year, but did shape okay (runner-up) in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (6f, good to soft) three starts back; an easing mark, change of headgear, and the return to Catterick are all reasons to retain faith. |
10/1 |

9th 5 (6) |
27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second of five at Chester (6f, good) last month, but was below that form there a fortnight ago and has basically been disappointing since her 7f 2yo win in October. |
25/1 |

8th 12 (7) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has mixed form in her six starts but she won a Catterick novice (7f, good to soft) last October and was a respectable second over C&D (cheekpieces added) last time; this is a deeper race but mark is sliding and she's in the mix. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won his only race when picking up a classified over C&D (good to firm) last August but he's also been second three times here and got no luck when runner-up in a division of this last year; also hit traffic when beaten just over 1l in Lady Of The Garr's race at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last time; firmly on the shortlist with Oisin Murphy taking over. |

Hard to win with but she ran well on her first two runs this year and then met some traffic at Doncaster 12 days ago; each-way claims again. |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark on AW debut when landing a C&D handicap in September; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) next time and he had an excuse in tough conditions at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in final run in the autumn; that was a major blip but he's had a break since and could bounce back with a big run on his return. |

9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his first go on the AW in 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) latest and he probably acts on soft; seriously considered in this weak race. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Just one win from her 28 starts and she needs to prove her stamina, but she's on a competitive mark on her Flat form last August/September and she ran pretty well over hurdles three weeks ago; trainer won this last year. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from his 29 starts but close fourth in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) two starts ago and slow ground may not have suited there subsequently; has run well here in the past and could be involved. |

No obvious signs of ability (0-4), but has been given a four-month break since struggling on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (7f, last of eight) in March; safer options lie elsewhere. |
