23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
5lb lower than last winning mark and came close to taking advantage when finding only Vantheman too strong at Hamilton (5f, good) last week; meets that rival on 5lb better terms; should be involved in the shake-up once more. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner who boasts a good record at this time of year; will always be reliant on some luck given his hold-up style, which he hasn't had this year; on a handy mark when things do fall his way again, though, and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks. |

2nd 14 (14) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |

3rd 10 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
On a competitive mark with a handy inside draw but he is returning from a seven month absence and his connections are also represented by Miraculous. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; not disgraced at Ripon next time; should make another bold bid. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; there wasn't much separating the first five but he's only 2lb higher here and should give it another good shot. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Ten-time turf winner, including C&D; close third at Newcastle when last seen in February; one to consider. |

21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Placed at Musselburgh last weekend but recorded a meagre RPR; the veteran remains on a near two-year losing spell. |
20/1 |
|
10 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Veteran who has not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear on his last four outings; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
12 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is versatile ground-wise but he's not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear in last three starts; down the list. |

Expensive to follow this season but well handicapped and made the frame on her previous visit here; unlikely to be far away. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
It's now 17 runs since his last win and he's been placed just once from his ten outings this term; others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 10 (5) |
27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Recorded a fair third of nine in 5f Redcar classified event 15 days ago but it's now 16 starts since his last success. |

3rd 3 (2) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

The odd false dawn this summer but essentially he's regressing quickly; this is a drop in grade but there are risks attached. |

28th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Form has dipped in two starts this month but his two efforts in August were respectable; dangerous mark but something to prove again now. |
12/1 |
