Has held his form all winter and boasts a win and a second from two runs over C&D; no obvious reason why he won't go well again but is 5lb above his last successful mark and has done most recent racing in lesser company. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June; however, he's failed to kick on from that; unproven on slow ground. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

Seemingly back in good form at Southwell (6f) a fortnight ago, where she was denied a clear run before keeping on for fourth; remains 5lb below her last winning mark and will be suited by today's return to 7f; good chance. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW and 0-21 on grass, but he has become dangerously well handicapped on the pick of his turf form last year; should find this race is run to suit. |

Nine-time AW winner, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (5f, AW) last February; ran well when a close third of nine there 20 days ago and the return of a visor is a positive (last three wins have came in a visor). |

0-16; produced a series of consistent efforts earlier in the year, including on Tapeta here and at Southwell (1m); has failed to beat a single rival though in four starts since finishing runner-up at Pontefract in May; risky, and really needs to change of headgear to have the desired effect. |

Losing run up to 22, but runner-up on consecutive days last week, firstly in a similar contest to this at Chelmsford (6f, Tapeta) and then a 0-55 handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good); should go well again, but others preferred for the win. |

Off the mark at the 16th attempt in an apprentice handicap over C&D early in month, but didn't back it up at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) eight days later; each-way claims if helped by the return to this venue. |
