9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six turf wins include one here (1m2f, good to firm) in August; had wind surgery before a fair comeback at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when fifth of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; drop back in trip no reason to rule him out and he's respected. |

In good form with a pair of 1m2f fast-ground wins last summer; ought to be sharper for Doncaster reappearance 13 days ago and on a workable mark if back close to his best. |

Best form was in Britain in 2023; steadily working his way into form of late, although slow starts haven't helped his cause the last twice; wide draw a negative. |

20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent and unraced on slow turf, but he ran well in two handicaps on grass in May/June and was a close second in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) nine days ago; this 3yo has leading claims if at the top of his game. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Peak efforts when placed in low-grade handicaps over C&D in May and at Carlisle in June; exposed sort who is now 0-11 but has a fighting chance in this ordinary maiden event, granted a return to his best. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today. |
8/1 |

1st 7 (7) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All three of his wins on the AW have been at this track, the most recent in a C&D classified in February; well beaten after missing the break at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago but may bounce back returned to AW. |
12/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole turf win came over 1m2f in 2023 and three subsequent successes have been on the AW (1m and 7f); has continued to run well since the latest of them in February but this is his first 6f run since his debut. |

Five-time winner over 6f-1m2f here, the latest from 3lb lower over 7f in January; capable of playing a part if this sets up for his closing style. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though. |

Eight-race maiden; unlucky not to finish closer to the target when seventh at Bath (1m, good; denied clear run in closing stages) last month but was behind stablemate Athene's Kiss when fifth at Brighton (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago. |

7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who showed promise here in the spring; perhaps unsuited by heavy ground at Ayr two starts ago and by the first-time blinkers over this C&D last Tuesday (no headgear today); however, she's hard to fancy after those heavy defeats. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (9) |
31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden whose form has regressed on turf, but she twice ran with credit here (7f/1m) in the spring and interesting to see if the return to this surface brings about a resurgence; blinkers given a go. |
9/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
She has failed to progress and was tailed off at Musselburgh in July; however, the cheekpieces adopted that day are left off, she's had a break since, and there are some firm pointers in her pedigree that this lightly raced 3yo could be suited by today's first encounter with testing ground. |

3yo who has won just one of his 16 starts and is unraced on slow turf; when runner-up at Musselburgh last time he was beaten 11l but it was still a positive performance in today's context and he's a possible player. |
