19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual course winner in 2023; kept on for fourth over C&D (good to soft; also suited by soft/heavy) in May and subsequent Hexham second was also very respectable but he's no longer the force of old. |

C&D winner in 2023; well below best form over the last year or so but at least took a step back in right direction when keeping-on fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) ten days ago. |

Returned from layoff with low-key run in February but was placed twice under Leah Noreci here last summer (3m1f/2m6f) and seems very versatile regarding ground; can't be ignored. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in spring 2023 and made quite encouraging return from 575-day absence in C&D race won by Man Of Action in June, albeit looking held before falling heavily at the final flight; not ruled out. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed-off favourite at Cartmel early last month but that may have come too soon, seven days after she completed a Hexham double (both 2m7f, good; one of them under Paddy Barlow); lightly raced under rules and this soft-ground point winner could have more to offer. |

Won at Hexham (2m7f, good) on June 3 in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and easily made all there (2m7f, good) last Sunday; won on soft going in a point; a 7lb penalty may not stop her if her fine form continues. |

Inconsistent and he was a mid-race faller in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Hexham a fortnight ago; however, prior to that he was a good third at Newcastle (2m7f, good) and is capable of being thereabouts. |

11st 9lb |
Strong stayer who notched up three wins from February to April, though took a backward step last time over C&D off this mark; however, she's not out of this if repeating previous efforts with Oscar Palmer taking a valuable 3lb off her back. |

In fine form having won her last three races, one at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and the others over 3m3f on good at Sedgefield (Wee Alki second on both occasions); up 7lb for latest win, but a possible. |
