24th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Consistent form this season includes a Thirsk success in April (ended a long losing spell); creditable second over C&D (good) most recently; solid contender off unaltered mark. |

2nd 3 (7) |
8th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

In fine form this term, scoring at Thirsk in April and twice in the frame off a 5lb higher mark since, fourth of 12 at Catterick (5f) 26 days ago; he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark with this return to 6f a plus. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-48, but his second of eight at Catterick (5f, soft) on his penultimate start shows that he remains capable of a good effort; frame claims if the ground remains testing despite being just out of the weights and drawn low. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say. |

Front-runner; made all at Ripon (5f, good) in June off a 6lb lower mark than today; below form since being beaten a neck at Musselburgh last month; needs first-time visor to spark her back up but she has run well in cheekpieces in the past. |

8yo who has a regressive profile but he's run pretty well in defeat on two of his last four runs (5f/6f, good to soft/good to firm), most recently fourth in a classified at Ripon, and could be involved. |
