3rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at sprint trips on good/good to firm; well treated on old form but she's generally struggled in last eight runs including three for new yard this season; was never travelling over 6f here on her course debut last month and has lots to prove at this new trip. |

9th May 2024 Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Well beaten in two runs for new yard, tailed off in heavy ground at Thirsk last month; sounder surface can help but she's got too much to prove for comfort. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Similar type to Hidden Code, being 0-11 and comparatively exposed; peak form when placed three times over 6f on turf; half-sister to a stablemate who has won at up to 1m1f, so this new trip is cause for optimism. |

0-9; good efforts at this course (finished second) and Redcar (close third) on last two attempts over 6f; ties in with Glendown and Bryce on latter effort; has a fighting chance off the same mark. |

1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |

Last summer's two wins came over 6f, the second of them off this mark; should come on for her recent return to action but others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Five sprint wins but last three have been over 6f and latest was off 2lb lower last summer; has mixed record when fresh and market should guide back at this trip after 170 days off; stablemate of Herakles. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; had a few of today's rivals behind her when second of 17 at Thirsk 19 days ago, her first outing since November; promising apprentice takes off 7lb; shortlisted. |

2nd 7 (7) |

9st 2lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; made a respectable return to action one month ago and enters each-way calculations. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f turf handicaps last July; encouraging return from a 294-day break at Catterick in August and this stiffer test at the trip should suit; still to prove her effectiveness on AW. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two in a row last July, at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) and Redcar (6f, good) before finishing second of ten here (6f, soft) in October; has been off since failing to beat a rival home at Newcastle (7f, AW) 294 days ago and this return to 5f isn't sure to be a positive. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable. |
9/1 |

6 (8) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well. |
