11th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Good second back on the grass at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month; fair fourth at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) since; likeable and consistent but doesn't obviously have much in hand off her mark. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept on well for close second in fillies' handicap at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last time; this lightly raced 4yo won a C&D maiden (good) last August and is open to improvement now back up in distance; likely player. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (12) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful miler in his prime but his last win was almost two years ago and he's been well held at Newcastle and Doncaster in last two starts; continues to drop down the weights but others are preferred. |

9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who has gained three of his four wins over C&D, the latest an easy 4l success in April; this will be tougher from a 6lb higher mark especially with other established trailblazers in the field. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-9 on turf but he made a bold bid when a clear second at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago; up 3lb but he ran into an unexposed improver last time and still looks on a workable mark; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Best on the AW (two wins over 1m at Kempton this year); 18lb lower on turf but hasn't run well enough on his recent starts on grass to suggest he will win this. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

Flat form has largely deteriorated in the last 12 months; shaped better than the bare result over C&D on hurdles debut but suffered a heavy defeat at Fakenham later in October. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |
25/1 |

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap 18 days ago; he needs considering nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained. |
