15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

29th Apr 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-6 on turf as opposed to 2-4 on AW so there is a question mark about this return to grass; however, he hasn't been devoid of promise on turf and reappeared with close second on AW three weeks ago; possible contender. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
9th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off since August but didn't run at all badly on reappearance in 2022; however, a claiming win on unfavourable terms at Wolverhampton on latest outing did little for his handicap mark and he has work to do on balance of his handicap form; gelded since; first start here. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June; however, he's failed to kick on from that; unproven on slow ground. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt when sweeping through from the back at Thirsk in June (6f, good to firm); beaten off this mark twice since and even his best form this year might not be enough here. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two minor 6f wins over the winter; not at his best on last two runs and now returns from 107 days off; drawn wide and others appeal more. |

6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

10st 7lb |
0-25 but there have been encouraging signs for his new stable, finishing second twice at Wolverhampton (once for this rider) before a close fourth on Sunday; visor worn there replaced by the blinkers he wore for the earlier seconds; each-way shout again. |

4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark (17th attempt) with a clearcut win over C&D in October but she's finished down the field on Tapeta in her three subsequent runs; still 2lb higher than for her win and others are more convincing. |

Flopped over C&D last time but she was too keen and had earlier turned in a string of good runs on turf and Tapeta; capable of bouncing back but this is a rise in class. |

21st Aug 2023 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Two-time C&D winner who was a good second over C&D in June; not written off given her record here but she hasn't been at her best at Ripon (6f) and here (7f) the last twice, and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

26th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Campaigned mostly over 6f; good second here (good to firm) on penultimate run but has different conditions to deal with at this new trip and others are preferred; was withdrawn after getting loose at Doncaster three weeks ago. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
