9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Won just once since getting up late in a C&D classified stakes (good to soft) in August 2023; not disgraced but hasn't done enough to suggest that his turn is forthcoming in four starts this year. |
33/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Track regular who won over C&D just over one year ago; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine behind Dumfries over C&D (also good to firm) on his June return but two lesser runs have followed; needs to turn the ship around; 1lb out of the weights. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

10yo who won over C&D in 2023; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June but he failed to come on for that run when seventh of 11 over that same C&D 32 days ago. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All wins at 7f and his free-going ways leave him vulnerable at a mile; Musselburgh success in April seems a distant memory now. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Kickstarted the season with a win at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April but he's been struggling for form in recent starts and now switches back to AW (0-9) on his first start for two months. |

30th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Remains winless and she's not the easiest to catch right either, beating only one in a 6f Southwell classified event ten days ago. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
20th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
13-race maiden who left previous efforts well behind when beaten less than a length into third of 13 in a similar contest at Catterick (7f, good to soft; 150-1) 12 days ago; needs to prove that wasn't a fluke, but a repeat would give her a chance. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this year (two on soft), the latest when edging out Astronomica at Nottingham in June; now needs to bounce back from quieter runs, latterly in the Bath race dominated by two of today's rivals. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins this year including two over C&D (soft) in the spring; fast ground was against her at Doncaster last time and has been off for 68 days since, but she has won fresh; still on a career-high mark, but the return to a soft surface would be a plus. |
6/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off campaign with two wins at Bath (1m, soft) before a good second there (1m, good), and she returned to winning ways at Nottingham (1m, good to soft); it's unlikely she's going to be on slow ground today, which dents confidence somewhat, but this thriving mare is still respected. |

2nd Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Generally reliable 5yo who got back on the scoresheet over C&D in July and she didn't get much luck in a classified event at Catterick (sixth of 13) last time; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected back on AW. |
11/2 |

8th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

8th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins, one of them here, have been at 6f; has some decent form over 7f and comes into the reckoning after a fair run at Wolverhampton last time (6f, met trouble in running). |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
19th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4-18 on turf and 0-21 on the AW, albeit running well here on a few occasions as when beaten less than a length into second of ten over 7f in January; makes his debut at this level and cannot be dismissed. |
9/1 |

7th 4 (10) |
25th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close second over 7f in January; far from consistent otherwise this year and he's still seeking a first win beyond 6f; very well treated on best form but isn't a solid option. |

17th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came narrowly over C&D this time last year and Paul Mulrennan got another good tune out of him when runner-up last time (also C&D); has another short break to overcome but is a player. |
13/2 |

2nd 8 (8) |
30th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
There's a doubt regarding his current form in view of his three runs this summer (one over C&D); however, he's well treated judged on his C&D efforts earlier in the year and is not written off back from a break. |

12-race maiden; runner-up at Wetherby (1m Class 6, good) in May, but there are precious few positives to take from his last two efforts (Newcastle and Catterick); cheekpieces are newly applied. |

14th 9 (1) |
29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

0-10 under rules but has twice run well since returned to the Flat last month, going close at Wetherby (1m, good) and finishing fourth of 15 at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 13 days later; the first two last time won their next starts; still to prove himself on Tapeta but worth a second look. |
