3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over C&D in the autumn of 2024; not running badly when last seen but he returns from six months off and likely vulnerable. |
16/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

8st 9lb |
Sole win (1-34) at Newcastle in October 2021; placed on various occasions at Wolverhampton (5f-6f) last year, and could potentially strip fitter for recent Catterick comeback; nevertheless, still has plenty of work to do with stablemate Captain Corcoran. |

23rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced all four starts for Michael Appleby and now 0-14 overall; didn't run badly over 6f last time and is not fully exposed over 7f but others in this field have much stronger claims. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (10) |
30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; has bits of encouraging form and this is just his third run for Mick Appleby, but he's not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; well beaten in his two runs with a visor for former yard and now tries cheekpieces. |

Missed a lot of his career but has been threatening on Tapeta since his return, flattening out over 6f as favourite before a fair effort from a wide stall last time; these conditions are an unknown, however. |

It's now 24 starts since his last victory though he shaped as if the run was needed after five months off when eighth of ten in 6f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to build on it. |

8th 9 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

18 months since his last win but he is fully effective over C&D and he ran well for third here when last seen in January; this might not be the time to catch him. |

9st 9lb |
Sole win from 54 starts came over this C&D in April 2023; wasn't helped by racing wide when fourth behind Let's Go Hugo at Wolverhampton eight days ago and makes some each-way appeal. |
11/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Has poor 1-52 strike-rate, the win gained on Polytrack (5f) in 2023; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he makes very limited appeal. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Now a 17-race maiden but she has shown winning potential this year and her recent Wolverhampton fourth (after an 11-week break) was encouraging with a view to this return to 6f; more appealing than many. |

0-16; placed here over 6f in July and backed that up when third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) next time; not seen since a well-beaten favourite at Brighton (6f, good) in August; needs to bounce back after a break. |

12-race maiden who is hard to fancy on the majority of her form but she ran well in first-time cheekpieces last December and okay in first-time blinkers in May, and is not ruled out now wearing a visor for the first time. |

Low-level maiden who's been tried over 5f-8.7f, and in various headgear, without joy; the lowest rated of all and would be a surprise winner. |

Maiden (0-9); a bit better at Ffos Las (5f classified race) on her penultimate start but has taken a backward step at Bath since; fairly swiftly dismissed. |
25/1 |
|
12th 13 (2) |
12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden but she found improvement on her drop to 5f when fifth in a classified event at Ffos Las (good; 66-1) last month; was beaten less than 2l in that race and has possibilities if she can build on that back in a handicap. |
25/1 |
