11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Her last two wins have come over C&D, the latest off this mark last June (good to firm); bumped into one at Leicester 16 days ago and it was a run that promised better; can't rule out. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Should be all the better for her Doncaster reappearance and she's back on the same mark as for her Windsor success (6f, good to firm) last June; however, all her turf wins have come there and at Salisbury and this is the first time she's run on this track. |

Has gained all turf wins at Salisbury and Windsor but appears effective at Doncaster, having finished 2l third off 4lb higher in this race on reappearance last year; each-way shout. |

24th May 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Had two years on the sidelines and it took him a couple of runs to rediscover his spark; back in the groove now, following a good win at Southwell with a close second at Salisbury three weeks ago (both 6f); returning to 7f won't hurt and he's one to consider despite the rise in class. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
4th May 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 6yo who missed two years of his career; has taken time to recapture form since back in action but was a fluent 6f winner on Southwell AW in February (first-time tongue-tie, retained) and is well treated on past form on soft. |

Now beneath his last winning mark but he was beaten a good way out last time at Salisbury (6f) and he runs that track well; has been good and bad in the reapplied cheekpieces; bit risky. |

Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over. |
20/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning reappearance here in 2024 and 2025 so it's disconcerting he was well beaten on his comeback here 24 days ago, and he could do with breaking sharper; however, it's possible he needed the run this time and, having won three times last year, he's entitled to respect. |
7/1 |

9th 2 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two of his eight wins have been over C&D and they were first time out in April 2024 and April 2025; two wins last summer ensure that he remains much higher in the weights but that reappearance record here is striking. |

In-form 6yo who regained the winning thread at Epsom (good to soft) then went very close over this C&D (soft) later in July; still well treated on peak RPRs; respected. |

Tumbled down the weights and returned to his optimum conditions (7f, soft) he ran well at Brighton two weeks ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and he'll need vastly more to come out on top in this field. |

Veteran who scored over C&D in October, but she's not easy to predict and was 6l behind Nordic Glory here ten days ago; needs to bounce back again after that disappointing run and others are more persuasive. |

Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |

2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Record of 1-22 and well held at Windsor last time but that was after a solid spell, including a second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his penultimate run; 1lb lower here and could be dangerous if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
