7th 8 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest strike-rate for current yard but is technically unexposed over today's trip; creditable second at Musselburgh (12.5f) in May in sole attempt beyond 1m2f; could go well off bottom weight. |
9/1 |
|
5th 13 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Unlike him to miss the break as last time and had been running well from 1m1f to 1m4f; the concerns are that he does look high enough in the weights and this is tougher than usual. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to winning ways at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; from 4lb lower) in April and runner-up twice since, stamina seemingly overstretched behind the thriving Alpine Sierra at Musselburgh (12.5f) latest; enters calculations back over a more suitable 8.5f. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in early May but two lesser efforts have followed and he remains without a win since 2022; raced too freely in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces tried here. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won comfortably off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but largely disappointing since; safely held when third in first-time visor over C&D one week ago and needs to find extra today. |
12/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Began season with emphatic handicap win at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but not much has gone to plan for him since and he was well beaten when returned to Pontefract in August; in calmer waters here but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below best on final two starts last season and same story on sole run this term, in Qatar in February; also has a hefty mark to defy but this front-runner was a fine second under an enterprising ride in a Group 2 at Ascot last July and has a strong record here, finishing second in this race in 2023 and winning it in 2024; capable of very bold bid from the inside stall. |
14/1 |
|
5 (4) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Good second in Ascot Group 2 last time, collared only late having raced in clear lead for long way; made all for emphatic success in this race 12 months ago (good to firm) and commands respect back here. |
6/4 |
|
6 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads, as was the case when well clear at one stage before finishing close up in a 1m Group 3 at Chantilly a month ago; that was bordering on his best form and he could outrun his odds if getting loose on the lead. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Ready winner of a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Beverley last month (8.5f, good to soft), her second run for Karl Burke; less good on soft last time; others are more appealing. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Mostly consistent in handicaps without winning one for previous yard; well held on debut for this one but she won quite takingly at Beverley (1m, good to soft) 14 days ago, albeit at a lesser level; up 4lb to career-high mark and this will test her new-found improvement. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (8) |

raced slightly wide, raced in fourth, shaken up and headway up the centre 2f out, soon went second, pushed along to lead 1f out, ridden out final 110yds, won going away |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time course winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth of eight over 7f here 19 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more from an easing mark. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (4) |
6th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner, the most recent coming in November; however, not so good more recently. |
