20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his six wins have been over C&D but last one was back in March 2024; has been out of sorts on his last two starts. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |
12/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His handicap mark has bottomed out and there have been more encouraging signs on his last two starts, second in a 0-50 classified over C&D 15 days ago; more required today. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who ran well when fourth of 13 at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) a week ago, but her losing run is up to 26 and she's unlikely to get her own way in this field. |

9st 0lb |
Winless since 2024 and she has failed to beat a rival in last three starts including over 5f here (firm) last week; not hard to look elsewhere. |

19th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins since July; failed to fire over C&D last month (vet reported she was stiff behind after the race); better than that and she's one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
17th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over C&D, latterly when getting up late in a 0-52 handicap 25 days ago; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus in apprentice company. |

17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
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. |

6th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Clear personal best when beating 14 rivals in 6f Leicester classified and ran well enough the last twice (also 6f) to be considered for this; return to 7f okay. |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
18th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a successful handicap debut here (7f) in February and doubled his tally at Leicester (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; fair fourth on soft ground last time and interesting back here, but he may prefer an extra furlong on a sharp track like this now. |

AW winner who opened his account on turf when beating 14 rivals in a 6f classified race at Leicester (good; first-time cheekpieces); 4lb higher back in a handicap and unproven on soft ground. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins (5.3f/6f) on turf but he's 0-11 on AW and was down the field here (6f) two weeks ago; has uninspiring form figures beyond sprint trips and is best watched on this step back up to 1m. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
28th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner who has finished placed over 6f at Yarmouth (handicap) and Thirsk (classified) in last two runs; has some form at this track but he's 0-10 on AW and this looks competitive back in this sphere; could be vulnerable. |
16/1 |

Multiple sprint winner over 5.5f-6f, mostly on a sound surface; took a step back in the right direction latest but will need to better that effort to win again; each-way player. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Seventeen wins to his name but he hasn't won on turf for nearly three years and isn't in much form of late; up against it if his current mark of 37 is any guide. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Veteran has won 17 races, but seems to have lost his way and losing run up to 21; effectively 9lb wrong on his 168th start; look elsewhere. |

2nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making an impact at this level but her two runs last month were short of even her modest 2023 best; others look stronger. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
13th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins in 2021 but nothing since; effective over C&D and Tuesday's reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but others appeal more for win purposes. |
