A dual 5f turf winner in 2024 but she came in only seventh of ten back on the AW in 6f handicap here last month; she needs to take a step forward. |

Has form over 6f but her two wins, and three best RPRs, have come over 5f; wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest York run and she remains open to further progress; considered. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |
9/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
6-17 on AW and better than ever this spring, following his Lingfield win in March with a narrow defeat at Southwell; 0-8 on turf but has run well on fast ground in the past; perhaps a shade high in the weights now. |
7/2 |

Three AW wins since November, the latest a comfortable success at Lingfileld; held by Spring Is Sprung on C&D form from January but he should give his running again. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-18 on AW and can get it wrong at the start; on the plus side, he is dropping into a 0-60 today and you don't have to go back too far to find form that gives him a strong chance. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

3rd 1 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-25; won from 3lb higher at York (6f, good) last May, and also went close (runner-up) back there in July; pestered for the lead, weakening late, when fourth on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; 15-8 favourite; form franked); now 2lb lower and with Jack Nicholls back aboard; chance. |

Prominent racer who goes well fresh; 1lb lower than when seeing off 19 rivals at York last May (6f, good); should be in the thick of the action. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has inconsistent turf form (all 5f) but the pick of it, namely 2yo success and close second in June, gives her possibilities off current mark provided she takes well to AW. |

9st 7lb |
3yo who was beaten just a head on handicap debut over C&D in June (good to firm; unraced on slow ground); below that level at Hamilton and Doncaster the next twice but perhaps the return here can trigger a bigger effort. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Two wins for Iain Jardine this year, the latest at Hamilton last month off a 3lb lower mark; good second over C&D 16 days ago; makes plenty of appeal. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Running well for Iain Jardine since February, including wins at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and Hamilton (5f, good) last week; unpenalised for that latest success, so 3lb well in, as he was when creditable third at Ayr (favourite) yesterday; should go well again if that hasn't taken it out of him. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark on turf at the 18th attempt at Hamilton (5f, good; Wee Mary fourth) on Friday evening; escapes a penalty for that and Mohammed Tabti is able to claim his 5lb allowance here; equally effective at 6f-7f; obvious chance. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Big question mark over current form, having failed to beat a rival in her last four runs, and she is 0-13 since winning her first couple of starts; drop in class needs to help. |

31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Her second to a handicap blot at Thirsk in June came off 5lb higher; she's run poorly on her last three starts though, looking a handful at Kempton 11 days ago. |

20th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

ducked sharply left start, pulled hard, midfield, short of room and switched left after 2f, raced wide home turn, weakened quickly from 2f out |
