2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made winning return under Lewis Chalkley at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and has remained in form, better than the bare result suggests when sixth of seven at Musselburgh (very slowly away) 11 days ago; in the mix. |
7/1 |

Made winning seasonal debut under Lewis Chalkley at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and ran at least as well when close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up in grade today but evidently in good nick. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who scored over C&D last month but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; looks weighted near his best and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has gone 0-19 since a winning debut at two; the visor worked well when initially tried last summer (twice placed) and now that aid returns; has possibilities. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (11) |
17th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won since his debut at Doncaster in May 2022 (5f, good to firm); good third in first-time visor over same C&D last June (good) but not run quite as well since, including with cheekpieces back on last time; on a fair mark, but soft ground not ideal. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, the latest of those coming in first-time blinkers off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been running well since, including when runner-up here 15 days ago, and there's no reason to think she won't go well again. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow C&D winner in first-time blinkers (from 7lb lower) in January; has held her form well since, a close fourth (Shatin Venture second, La Rochette fifth) to Digital latest; likely to give another solid account with Paul Mulrennan aboard. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Got the better of Digital over C&D last month (blinkered first time) and ran another solid race when a close second at Southwell one week later; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Pick of his AW form would give him claims but he's been badly out of sorts since April, with and without headgear; too much to prove for comfort. |
16/1 |
|
14th 14 (11) |
3rd Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Went close in a C&D nursery in December off a 12lb higher mark; disappointing in 2023 but the combination of new headgear and a return to this track could revive his fortunes. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Regressive performer who has been soundly beaten on last three starts; yet to race on turf quicker than soft and enough to prove back on this surface. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Signed off for Charlie Fellowes with 5f nursery win at Catterick (good to soft) last September but hasn't shown a great deal for new stable this season (four runs) and is the one with by far the most to prove here. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on his final start last season; has been quiet in his three runs this term but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wolverhampton (fifth of 11) 11 days ago; now 1lb lower than for his win and he looks interesting on this switch back to turf. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair 5f scorer who got back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April; not best drawn when tenth in 5f Thirsk handicap since and remains one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won off this mark at Newcastle (5f; 7-1; first-time visor) last September but mostly disappointing since until chasing home Beerwah at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 16-1) five weeks ago; is 5lb better off with that rival here; one of two for trainer Michael Dods. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

She hasn't recaptured her best since returning to the AW in October; Rossa Ryan is a notable booking but there are risks attached now she's dropping back to 5f. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Showed up well when a close third over C&D on final 2yo start; handicaps haven't seen him in a better light on turf this year but it's possible he will have more going for him back on this surface. |
