9st 8lb |
Down the field at Southwell (1m) last time when back in a handicap, but didn't run badly after a slow start and she won on the Tapeta there (1m) in April; Newmarket trainer does well here and she's not ruled out. |

13th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Takes a drop back in grade, following Listed defeats on turf the last twice; sole attempt on AW resulted in C&D win (off 3lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back here, being unexposed on the surface. |

9st 4lb |
Three-time turf winner who scored in a first-time hood (retained since) on stable debut in a Class 4 handicap at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; ran well on form but underlined she has something to find at Listed level when sixth (Purplepay third) at Pontefract last month. |

On the same mark as when running away with a 7f handicap at Southwell in August 2022; rarely seen since and he was well beaten at Chelmsford on last month's return from 13 months off; could take benefit from that run and this should be a better guide as to how much ability remains. |

9st 12lb |
Ran up a five-timer here early in the year (1m3f-today's trip), latterly off an 8lb mark; raced freely down to 1m last time and will need to settle better going right back up in distance, especially into a small field. |

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though. |

Has proved a revelation this year, winning all five of his starts at Southwell including when stepped up to the extended 2m there a week ago; can't be dismissed in his current mood, though a 5lb penalty and different track pose a new question. |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his C&D win last month; followed up at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) three days later and he went very close in his hat-trick bid back at Wolverhampton last week; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and another good run looks on the cards. |

Seven-time Tapeta winner who sits 12lb below his last winning mark (dead-heat over 1m2f at Newcastle in February 2022); out of sorts lately, with hopes seemingly pinned on the change of scenery - a first ever visit to Southwell - and a drop back to 1m working the oracle. |

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect. |

No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful. |
