16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple wins at 1m and 1m1f (good or softer) include two over C&D; quite favourably treated now and he was a very respectable fourth at Ripon recently, when just behind a subsequent winner; needs a bit more here. |

4th 2 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year (1m/1m1f, good/soft); the last of them came in a seller and he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Doncaster, but that was the competitive Spring Mile and he may have needed the run; won this in 2022 and he's not discounted off a handy mark. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
All wins have come in the spring, with one on AW but mainly on soft turf; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's failed to beat a rival in his last two runs and needs a major revival after a break. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

All wins come in the spring, once here but mainly on soft turf; latest effort too bad to be true and hadn't had the breaks prior to that but he has something to prove back to cheekpieces from a visor. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (12) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Useful miler in his prime but his last win was almost two years ago and he's been well held at Newcastle and Doncaster in last two starts; continues to drop down the weights but others are preferred. |

8st 4lb |
Contesting this race for the fifth successive year, winning it 2018 and 2019; no better than sixth in the last two runnings but wouldn't be without hope if reproducing his penultimate run at Chester when prevailing comfortably. |
10/1 |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Goes particularly well at Redcar but is able elsewhere as he showed when winning easily last week at Chester under Emily Roberts; a 5lb rise isn't beyond him at all. |

1st 7 (7) |
15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Redcar specialist (six wins there) who sits 3lb below his last winning mark; ran a solid race when runner-up to the subsequent Wolverhampton scorer Painters Palette on penultimate start, but wasn't quite on song at Beverley (8.5f) subsequently; remains fairly treated but others appeal more. |

All wins on good/good to soft but has had plenty of chances since last win in 2021; tailed off at Thirsk last time and easy enough to overlook back on a soft surface. |

In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Stable stalwart; just 1lb higher than for his front-running C&D win last November (soft) but his two runs this year have been unconvincing; will no doubt pop up at some point but perhaps in a race with less pace pressure. |
16/1 |
|
14th 7 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He has been a fine advertisement for Katie Scott, winning 13 races over 7f and 1m; 0-6 at this trip but he was beaten less than one length in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup; recent Musselburgh return should have blown away the cobwebs but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |

Often leads; superb 9yo with six course wins, the latest over C&D (soft) in November; not weighted out of it off the same mark as his second to Persuasion here last April but he's had a much longer break this time and is drawn widest. |

Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C&D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting. |
