19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Hardy veteran has won fourteen races on turf, all on good and good to firm ground, but handles an ease; is 15lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh last year and didn't run badly at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; could go well. |
10/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 9lb |
Likeable veteran won for the fourteenth time at Musselburgh (5f, good) last April and is 13lb lower now; showed some spark when a 2l fourth at Dundalk on penultimate and was third over this C&D (soft) off 5lb higher in October; can't discount. |

Attractive handicap mark, but veteran's 14 wins have come on turf; 0-11 on AW but his 2l fourth over 6f here last time is a reason for hope, as is the drop back to 5f now. |

7th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran out an easy winner in a small-field soft-ground handicap at Pontefract last spring but the handicapper took umbrage and she's found it tough going since; may have needed January's return to action but she still carries risk despite her much-reduced mark. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |

23rd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended up dropping right away at Newcastle 13 days ago but that was his first run for five months and he's been dropped another 4lb for his troubles; likely to come good again soon, albeit perhaps in a race with fewer front-runners. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Thrived last year, including when blowing his rivals away in the corresponding event off a 9lb higher mark; he hasn't looked the same force this year, including after wind surgery, and connections now change his headgear; this looks a stronger renewal than last year too. |

9st 1lb |
Two-time turf winner (5f, good to firm) who was running well in defeat on AW in the winter; back up in grade for his reappearance but he's still feasibly weighted and the betting will be useful. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Cheekpieces on for the first time when ending a long losing sequence at Ayr (6f) in July; backed it up with a good third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) a week ago; must enter calculations back up to 6f with headgear retained. |
14/1 |

3rd 7 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Had first-time cheekpieces (retained) when making all at Ayr (5f, good to firm) a month ago for his first win in a while; put back up 4lb but still has handicapping scope if the headgear works again. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; recorded the latest of his nine wins when taking Hamilton handicap (5f, soft) in September 2024; now 23lb lower but was only sixth of ten back at that track last Friday; career-low mark and any rain would be welcome. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has won nine races, two over C&D (good to soft/soft); 3.5l second to Tanjen over C&D last time but meets her on the same terms, so may struggle to turn that form around. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Without a success since September 2024 but that did come over this C&D off a 22lb higher mark; faded into seventh of 11 here ten days ago but it would be no surprise to see him go well. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn a blank this year but he has dropped a long way in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company for the first time; ran okay over C&D last month and the return of cheekpieces will help; considered. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now. |
