Ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap here two weeks ago, recording a good Topspeed figure in the process; 5lb rise looks manageable but his stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust. |

17th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came narrowly over C&D this time last year and Paul Mulrennan got another good tune out of him when runner-up last time (also C&D); has another short break to overcome but is a player. |
13/2 |

2nd 8 (8) |
30th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
There's a doubt regarding his current form in view of his three runs this summer (one over C&D); however, he's well treated judged on his C&D efforts earlier in the year and is not written off back from a break. |

Not the easiest to win with but he did get the job done in a big-field handicap at Yarmouth in October (6f, good to soft); solid efforts over C&D the last twice but he will need to pull out a bit more to take this. |

Successful over 7f on AW and 1m2f here this term; form has dipped since the latter win, however. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m2f) in May but he's been well below par since, only tenth at Musselburgh (9f) ten days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

10th 7 (2) |
5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Won for the second time on turf at Ayr (1m2f, good) in May but despite that form looking solid enough, he's been some way below that in two subsequent starts; bit to prove dropping slightly in trip. |

Held off Rockley Point to win C&D classified last month but was unable to land a telling blow when back in a handicap here a fortnight ago and might remain a shade vulnerable off current mark; usually ridden patiently. |

Her last win was two years ago but she's well handicapped on her old form and finished well to go close behind Astrophysics (runs in 4:55) over C&D three weeks ago; respected. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner; good runs few and far between in 2025 and he made a low-key return to action over C&D two weeks ago; revival not out of the question but others look safer. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Most recent wins were over 5f/5.5f for Darryll Holland in August and September 2024; some fair runs since and just as effective at 6f but lacks a recent outing; back with a former yard. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner, including once here (5f), and currently 6lb lower than for his last success; returned to Darryll Holland ahead of his fourth of eight at Brighton 11 days ago; market useful with the stable also running Kodi Red. |

9st 0lb |
The bulk of his winning has been on AW but he is effective on turf and ran okay over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago; this isn't a strong race and he's not ruled out with Tom Marquand booked. |

9yo who is just 1-24 on turf as opposed to 10-67 on AW; however, he's been in fair form on AW of late and ran some good races in defeat on turf last summer; could be thereabouts. |

9st 13lb |
Opened AW account at 17th attempt, with dominant success from the front in C&D classified last week; recorded a pretty good Topspeed figure for the grade that day and will take some catching under his 5lb penalty if in similar form again. |

0-20 since a successful debut as 2yo for another yard; inconsistent this year and, like last time, he goes without the tongue-tie that has worked well in the past. |

Scrambled home in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton on her first run for Mick Appleby in February; less good twice afterwards but she didn't run too badly on her first run for this yard in March; others more convicing for win purposes. |

Made an immediate impact on her first start for Mick Appleby when off the mark at the 14th attempt in a 0-55 handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 13 days ago; caught wide and far from disgraced when fourth in 7f Chelmsford classified event last week; big player back in a handicap. |

Seventeen wins to his name but he hasn't won on turf for nearly three years and isn't in much form of late; up against it if his current mark of 37 is any guide. |

9st 9lb |
No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |
8/1 |

Won six times from seven starts between March and May last year, but losing run up to 22 and well held back with her former trainer at Newcastle (6f, AW; well backed) this month; enough to prove. |
