30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some. |

9st 1lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

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. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |
13/2 |

Acts on soft; three wins in summer 2024, the first over C&D; two creditable minor honours this May/July but opposable on what he's done since. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced maiden; has ability but has had two breaks since reappearing in April and he didn't run well either side of his latest one (on AW last week); plenty of work to do. |

Returned to form with close fourth from the front at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last Wednesday when wearing this headgear for first time; however, needs something extra if he's to break his duck in this better race. |

Beaten 14 times since landing a 5f double here in January but placed several times here in the interim, most recently runner-up over C&D; every chance he'll be in the mix. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (15) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |
12/1 |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

In great form since having wind surgery, winning at Newcastle (AW) then unlucky third at Beverley (good; would likely have won with clearer run); raised only 1lb for latest effort and commands respect. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close second at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and likewise at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; however, soundly beaten on his three starts since and he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |

13th 18 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Close fourth in a division of this contest last year but up and down since and his last two runs have been poor; dangerously well handicapped but opposable on balance. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-time winner who scored off 6lb higher at Catterick last May; has been up and down since then but he finished well to go close over C&D (good) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and it would be positive if rain arrives. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won a Catterick novice (6f, good to firm for Olly Williams as a 2yo, but 0-14 since including ten starts for this yard; little of late to suggest he will turn things around here. |

7th 8 (7) |
15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win came for Olly Williams at Catterick (6f novice) in July 2022; has struggled for form since joining Jessica Macey (0-9) with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; difficult to consider. |
