17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering. |

Bagged a classified contest last August, ending a long losing spell, and has proved consistent at the same level this year; however, this 9yo hasn't won a handicap since 2021. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C&D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11yo who won three times last year, including this race (good to firm); this front-runner has been placed at Pontefract (1m, good) and Ripon (1m2f, good) on his last two starts; 3-5 at Ayr and he's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

14-time winner including seven times at Ripon; his last success was off 5lb higher last summer and he returned to form with a second at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; hasn't run over this far for a long time but he used to be effective at this trip and most of his wins have been in May-August. |

Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |

8st 13lb |
Dual course scorer, including this trip off 10lb higher in autumn 2022; hasn't fired lately so will need first-time blinkers (which are added to regular tongue-tie) to have a revitalising effect. |
25/1 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.6f/9.5f) who has dropped 7lb lower than when last successful, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last May raise doubts as to whether he can take advantage. |
