Eight wins here, the latest off 3lb higher last March; return to this trip should suit after three runs over further, but he is hard to predict these days. |

Veteran who is a 13-time AW scorer; however, has something to find on his autumn form and consequently needs to raise his game on return from two-month layoff. |

On a long losing run but he retains ability and wasn't beaten far at Musselburgh in September; needs to step up on last week's midfield finish over 6f here if he's to end the drought. |

8yo who is on a long losing sequence, and he broke out of the stalls and was withdrawn over C&D last month (12-1 at the time); however, this three-time course winner has run some good races this year, most recently fourth at Musselburgh in September, and he might not be far away. |

9st 4lb |
Free-going front-runner; a maiden after 15 runs but has made the frame on three of four starts for Grant Tuer, and did well to finish third after setting a good pace at Newcastle last month; could take some catching. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (9) |
9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

14-race maiden; started out for her new stable with promising runs at Wolverhampton (7f) and over C&D; less good when favourite for a 5f handicap here last month; dangerous back at this trip. |

13-race maiden but she's reached the frame in both runs for current yard including a front-running third over 6f here last month; well handicapped on her best form and she looks interesting on this return to 5f. |

21st Jun 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5lb better off with Beast Of Burden for a C&D defeat of just over 1l last month, and last week's fine Hamilton second was a third podium finish from as many starts since; losing run mounting up, but claims still good. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (12) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Sandwiched between Beast Of Burden and Zegos Surprise when second at Newcastle early last month and has backed that effort up twice since (one C&D), albeit held behind Giselles Izzy latest; obvious place claims. |

3rd 1 (1) |

Poor strike-rate and on a long losing run but he is fully effective over C&D and he comes here on the back of two seconds last month; drawn on the outside and may have to wait a bit longer to get off the mark for this yard. |

1-24, but has mostly been running well this year and only beaten around 2l in 0-65 handicaps over 5f/6f the last twice; attempts 7f for the first time, but is bred to stay it and more; major player. |

15th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just one win from 23 starts (5f, good to firm; visored) but he hasn't been beaten far in two of his last three starts and returning to 6f is in his favour; each-way claims. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (3) |
4th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won on turf in 2021 (5f, good to firm) and good third on AW last month (6f); however, it's a long time since he's run well on turf and was down the field at Hamilton (6f, good) a fortnight ago; something to prove. |

Defied a 10lb higher mark at this course (1m, good) last August; placed effort in 0-50 classified event here (1m, good to soft) eight days ago is inferior form; however, well treated if raising her game. |

Her form has gone the wrong way this year and she's been well beaten at Musselburgh the last twice; however, she doesn't have a good record there whereas she's run several good races here, including when fourth of six over C&D as recently as May; could play a major role now back here. |

9st 0lb |
Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction. |

2nd 8 (12) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip. |
25/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Pops up with a good run every now and then but finished well down the field after fluffing the start in Chelmsford classified race a week ago and his overall profile is not appealing. |
