9th 8 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has a modest strike-rate but her record in this race features a success in 2023 and second-place finish last year; competitively weighted and enters calculations. |
12/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Ripon in June (5f, good) and fair second at Musselburgh next time (5f, good); not done as well since and is 0-16 on the AW. |

6th 3 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; made all at Ripon (5f, good) in June off a 6lb lower mark than today; below form since being beaten a neck at Musselburgh last month; needs first-time visor to spark her back up but she has run well in cheekpieces in the past. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3lb lower than when winning at Catterick in April (5f, good); mainly disappointing since, although was only 2l behind Barmyblade (5lb worse off) when third at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well drawn and a possible. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (16) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner last summer; landed a 5f handicap at Catterick off a 2lb higher mark in April but he hasn't come close to replicating it in six runs since; capable if breaking on terms but he carries some risk. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f) in April; below form since until hinting at a revival with fifth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap one week ago, despite being very slowly away; this C&D winner needs considering. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as good this year and ran poorly on the AW last time; handles these conditions but she's always liked Catterick and would have preferred plenty of rain. |
20/1 |

10th 4 (9) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Began this season with two down-the-field runs but her handicap third at Ripon (5f, soft) last month was much better; rarely runs on the AW but was a C&D winner in 2022; high on the list. |

Won classified events at Newcastle (AW) the last twice; well treated on best handicap form but doesn't have his ideal scenario back on grass, having gained both turf wins at Beverley. |

Finally capitalised on his tumble down the weights when sweeping through to win a similar race here three weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more appealing than many kept to this level. |

28th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On the downgrade now but made the frame in two 6f AW handicaps at Newcastle last month and has placed form on soft; considered each-way. |

Consistency hasn't always been his strong suit and hasn't won for nearly two years but down in the weights and ran respectably in refitted cheekpieces over C&D last time; wouldn't be certain to back that up. |
