Off since a poor effort ten weeks ago; the return to softer ground should help but his spring win came from the front over a stiff 7.4f and he'll do well to dictate from stall 12. |

Readily made all at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in May, for which he went up 8lb to this mark; back to form with solid fourth at Chester (7.5f, good) last Friday but needs something extra to come out on top today. |

9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some. |

Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance. |

8st 9lb |
Something of an exposed maiden, with record now 0-10; however, best handicap effort (third off 4lb higher) came over C&D; return to this scenario is the angle for optimism with her. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Back on song when sixth of 14 in 1m handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago; hood is reached for now and she can't be discounted off a 2lb lower mark. |

11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

The odd promising run, including when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (6f, good to soft); below par dropped to 5f on Monday but each-way claims if back to her best. |

Three AW wins and 0-18 on turf after finishing second to Travis at Redcar; the winner comfortably had his measure but a 5lb pull could make it interesting. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins have come on AW and he is 0-17 on turf, though he has been placed in both visits here including when beaten just a short head over this trip last October; each-way claims again. |

5th 14 (16) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on. |

Got off the mark for her current yard at Bath (1m) but she came in only seventh under a penalty in 1m Windsor handicap later in October; may still do better. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Much better since tackling slower ground, building on her big-priced Ffos Las fourth with a win from the front on heavy ground last Wednesday; this looks a bit more competitive under a penalty but conditions won't pose a problem. |

1st 9 (5) |
18th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Lost her way after making a reasonably bright start for Karl Burke; seems to be working her way back to form for this trainer, running well at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft; 50-1) last month; should stay this trip, so isn't without a chance for a place at least. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner (twice on soft, once on good to firm); runner-up over C&D on first two starts this season (good); also a good third here two runs back but ran poorly latest, on his first run on good to firm this season; perhaps ideally suited by softer nowadays. |

7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner on soft ground, the latest off a 6lb higher mark in October 2024; plenty of sound runs since (placed over C&D on four occasions); each-way chance. |
