Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |

Three-time C&D winner who may have needed last month's reappearance run at Thirsk, but this 10yo was soundly beaten and his sole win last season came in a classified race (C&D); others are more compelling. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |

Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race. |
9/2 |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but he was third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon appearance; not found his best form in two runs this spring but he's on a dangerous mark and a change of headgear could help (has won in visor). |

8yo who is on a long losing sequence, and he broke out of the stalls and was withdrawn over C&D last month (12-1 at the time); however, this three-time course winner has run some good races this year, most recently fourth at Musselburgh in September, and he might not be far away. |

Similar type to Hidden Code, being 0-11 and comparatively exposed; peak form when placed three times over 6f on turf; half-sister to a stablemate who has won at up to 1m1f, so this new trip is cause for optimism. |
