19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race. |

Running fairly well this year and the handicapper's helped his cause; can sometimes miss the break but if giving himself a chance he might not be far away. |

Just one win from her 42 starts; hard to crab her consistency but she's back up in class in a deep race for the grade. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has been running well for a while now and was only a length away last week at Ffos Las (extended 7f); however, finds winning extremely hard with a strike-rate of 1-41. |
5/1 |

8 (10) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 1-40 strike-rate but scores very high marks for her consistency on turf/AW over the last year or so; runner-up off today's mark at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago; probably on the premises again here. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |
14/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 15 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been gained at Southwell (6f/7f) but he was out of sorts there in his final three runs last year; on lower mark back on turf but he's 0-8 in this sphere and has something to prove after five months off. |
20/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Respectable fourth over 6f at Brighton last time but shaped as if he ideally needs a return to 7f, which is his usual trip; still has a poor strike-rate. |

C&D scorer didn't enjoy the best of runs when a solid fifth of ten in 6f Newcastle handicap 13 days ago; he merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

8st 9lb |
1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |
