18th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer who was gaining his second career success when gamely seeing off a persistent challenger at Beverley four weeks ago (1m2f, soft); 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |

9st 11lb |
Returned to form on his second start of the season when close fourth of 11 at Bath (1m2f, good) last month; that form has worked out well and he's firmly in calculations off the same mark here; unraced on fast ground. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
20/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll. |

9st 2lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

Effective over C&D but has an unimpressive strike-rate and his form in the last 12 months is far from consistent; not sure what to expect from him. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Course winner in 2022 who last won at Pontefract (also 1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; 50-1 when beaten 10l on his comeback in a Wolverhampton classified (1m4f, AW) in January; others look safer. |
33/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Catterick handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in July but he finished down the field in his final three runs during the summer; has won when fresh in the past but his last success was 19 months ago and this veteran is 1-14 on AW. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Well treated on his wins at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) last year; second of seven from 5lb out of the weights at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) last month, but modest otherwise this year; not quite sure what to expect. |

6th 9 (3) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 but he ran a big race at a big price when third in classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he has each-way claims again if he can repeat that form. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 and he beat only one after six months off in 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford ten days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |
