17lb lower than when winning at Ascot last September (5f, good to firm; completing a quick double) having been badly out of form since; usually ridden by Amie Waugh; down to Class 5 in a handicap for the first time. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner who lacks a recent run but he's consistent in the main and not handicapped out of it; market could be informative. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Reappears off the mark she defied at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last May and has won first time up before; also a creditable third on previous C&D visit; no surprise were she to go well. |
9/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who has mainly performed well since winning from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; possible excuses for her last two defeats and could go well back here. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D maiden in May 2023 and made all at Newcastle (5f, AW) this April off 2lb lower; however, he's finished last when back on turf for last two outings, so there are mixed messages. |

Prominent racer; made all to win a 5f handicap at Newcastle in April off 3lb lower; next time was a write off and he returns from a break in a race packed with other pace influences. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

8th 9 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick last August/September and she's capable of going close off her current mark if at her best; she's 3-3 here and perhaps the return to Thirsk will trigger a revival, but it very much needs to as she's not shone on her three outings this season. |
20/1 |

13th 14 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Trainer won this last year with subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair; progressive last season and she's 1lb lower than when a close third of 18 over C&D (good) last October; however, well beaten on both starts this season (irregular heartbeat last time) and a major turnaround is needed. |
20/1 |
|
13th 12 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won last year's Portland during a great spell of form that has come to an end with duck eggs in last two appearances; perhaps best watched until she shows clear signs of a revival. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Won over 5f here (good) and at Pontefract (good to firm) in May; hasn't been in quite the same form recently; others stronger. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Not at the top of her game at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago but before that she was an encouraging fourth on her comeback at Ayr (5f, good to firm); third in this last year and might not be far away if bouncing back. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Has gained all wins in Scotland, including over C&D; respectable fourth at Ayr on seasonal debut; it's still two years since she scored away from Musselburgh, however. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who won twice at Musselburgh last season; ideally suited by good ground or softer but lacks a recent run. |
