10st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer in his prime but out of form in low-grade AW handicaps this year and again disappointed when back on turf last month; revival needed. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Dual-purpose veteran who gained his latest win in 2m2f marathon on soft ground in April 2023; placed under Margot Scudamore at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December but this year's AW form is very uninspiring. |

Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and was runner-up (beaten 12l) in another at Haydock the last time, which was a good run back at 2m3f (heavy); should give her running but others might be better in. |

9th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |

9st 11lb |
0-6 this year but ran respectably in first-time blinkers at Goodwood (1m6f) most recently; interesting off a workable mark in the retained headgear, with the return to 2m looking ideal; C&D winner in 2021. |

2lb lower than when successful at Chelmsford (2m, AW) last November, but recent efforts raise doubts over whether she can take advantage so she needs the first-time blinkers to help turn things around. |

9st 12lb |
Won four-runner race at Beverley (2m, soft) in July but out of form since; soundly beaten last time in the Cesarewitch here for the third year running; well handicapped if this proved one of his good days. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Well beaten in this race in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial three weeks ago on his only other race at Newmarket; good ground for all three of those was probably not ideal and he'd be well handicapped if this proved one of his best days, but others look more solid. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
25/1 |

6 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tough veteran; winner over 1m1f at Musselburgh in July (good) and close second to prolific winner Jannas Journey (won next time) over 7f at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); could go well but not sure 1m2f on soft are his ideal conditions. |
