19th May 2023 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Already a dual 5f AW scorer in 2023 and he had a near miss at Chelmsford (Polytrack) last week; his last win on grass was in 2020 but he ran well at Catterick (third of ten) on his penultimate run and has possibilities back off his lower turf mark. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Already a dual 5f AW scorer in 2023 and he posted another good effort back on turf when third of ten in 5f Catterick handicap 15 days ago, faring best of those who came to the stand side; he's well in the mix. |

25th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Went close in a 5f handicap here (off 3lb higher) in March but she's not gone on from that and was only sixth of seven at Redcar (5f, good to soft) last time; record now stands at 0-8 and others are more convincing; cheekpieces added. |

4th May 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Got back on track when fourth of ten in 5f Pontefract handicap ten days ago; she can't be dismissed in her bid for a breakthrough success. |

4th 10 (3) |
24th Apr 2023 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month on second handicap start and soft ground may not have suited when tailed off at Bath last time; this lightly raced 4yo retains potential and could be a contender now back on better ground (ran okay on good going on debut last August). |

25th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Having dropped a long way in the weights he has been more competitive of late, finishing third in three of his last four starts (all 5f on Tapeta); has won over 5.5f but well beaten in one 6f run. |

12th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the force of old and has won just one of his 24 starts, but having dropped down the weights he's run well in this on AW the last twice (5f); sole win came on soft; another headgear change today; a possible. |

25th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Her last win was on Polytrack in Ireland 15 months ago and she's not posed a threat in four starts for her new yard; mark continues to fall but slow starts are becoming a habit and she needs cheekpieces to make a difference. |
25/1 |
9th 2 (1) |
2nd May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has slipped to a good mark now and there have been more promising signs from her the last twice, finishing a close fourth over this trip in March and shaping as though in better form than the result suggests over 6f last week (ran quite quickly through the mid-part of the race and tied up in the final furlong); could go well at a price. |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in the past but sticks mainly to Tapeta these days and it's been a good while since he ran well on turf; remains consistent enough despite his age but it's hard to know where stall 13 leaves him unless there's plenty of rain. |

2nd May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who ended a losing run at Southwell in February and added another success to his haul at Newcastle the following month; those wins came in classified events but he went very close back in a handicap over C&D three weeks ago; should go well again. |

26th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

35-race maiden; inconsistent but better efforts, such as over C&D latest, give him each-way claims. |

2nd 8 (6) |
17th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Not yet off the mark but often in the frame in sprint handicaps on turf/AW, including over C&D and in these aids; down the weights since last seen on turf in August and no surprise to see him thereabouts. |

11th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

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. |

23rd May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handy sort who can be a bit in-and-out, but three of his five wins have come over C&D and he has dropped 2lb lower than for his latest success at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) last November; sports headgear for the first time on his 58th start and a major player if he reacts positively to it. |
6/1 |
4th 5 (2) |
11th May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner but he isn't the easiest to catch right and came in a below-par fifth over C&D three weeks ago; others appeal more. |
7/1 |
5th 5 (1) |
20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner in November off this mark; runner-up in two of his last three starts, all at Wolverhampton, and he's well drawn for one that likes to get on with it; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make a bold bid. |

6th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won three in a row in the autumn and the last leg came over C&D; only 1lb higher than for that success and he's finished placed in two of his three starts this winter, including when third at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last time; in the mix again. |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not the most prolific of winners but comes into the reckoning after his good second at Hamilton nine days ago (5f, good to soft). |
4/1 |
2nd 4 (3) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Returned from winter break with two down-the-field AW runs in March but was seemingly back in the groove when making the frame on all three starts last month, including a close second off today's mark on soft turf at Doncaster; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |
2/1 |
3rd 6 (4) |
25th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Has got back on track of late, not enjoying the clearest of runs when fourth in 5f Wolverhampton handicap a fortnight ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

5th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Has been running well at this track for a while now, winning three times (twice over this trip); another decent effort 11 days ago when drawn wide and should be in the thick of it once again. |
9/4 |
6 (5) |
28th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He has turned in a string of good runs here this winter, winning three times (twice over this trip); solid effort from a wide stall over 6f here on Saturday; should be in the thick of it once again. |
7/2 |
3rd 2 (10) |
25th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has form figures of 2231121 here since December, the three wins all gained under 5lb claimer Aidan Keeley, the latest when stepped back up to 6f 19 days ago; a further 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid. |
