23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up. |
11/2 |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Only 1-29 on AW but gained the win at Southwell (in 2022) and is currently in a consistent vein of form, mainly here and most recently at Chelmsford; frame possibilities. |

Four Flat wins but he hasn't achieved much at big prices in two handicap hurdles, at 2m1f and 2m7f; no great appeal this time, either. |

All five wins have came on AW; usually ridden with hold-up tactics and will need plenty of luck in running to get her head in front here. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

It was a classified race she won over C&D last month but this mark isn't beyond her and a slow start was no help at Southwell. |

Regained the winning thread in Wolverhampton classified race (9.5f) last week and may remain competitive despite a 6lb rise in her mark; well treated on best handicap form at up to 1m2f. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner who was progressive last year (over 1m6f, 1m5f here and 2m) and finished either first or second in all five of those races, but he wasn't seen after July; a shorter break (178 days) didn't prevent a win first time out last term and he should be retained in serious calculations. |
9/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who was progressive on turf this year (1m6f/1m5f, good/good to soft) prior to winning the Northumberland Plate consolation race at Newcastle (AW) four weeks ago on his first crack at 2m; it was a big field that day and a 5lb rise may not stop him here. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

Unplaced in 13 attempts over a variety of trips; slipping to a workable mark but others push stronger claims, particularly after he was last of eight over C&D in the 8.30 yesterday. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do. |
