13th 3 (11) |
29th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who won five times on turf last season (7f/1m); probably needed his return from seven months off at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but a concern that he is 1-21 on the AW and has been well held in both starts on Polytrack. |
20/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
18th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enjoyed a revival and won five times on turf last season (7f-1m), including his last three races; also effective on Tapeta but a 201-day break may have checked his momentum. |
12/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Second in this last year and he's twice made all over 1m here this season; arrives on a hat-trick following two wins at Beverley (7.4f, heavy/good to firm) and he'll be tough to reel in if his fine form continues. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |
4/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out of form on AW in early part of this year and his two recent turf runs were no better than respectable; continues to slide down the weights but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced). |
11/2 |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has drawn a blank since winning in small field over C&D in April 2022; hasn't shaped too badly in some of his recent starts but he was down the field at Carlisle last time. |
11/1 |
|
9th 3 (12) |
7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No win since April 2022 (7f, Ayr) but has slipped to a workable mark, running consistently at Musselburgh; didn't enjoy a great deal of luck when a closing fourth over 7f there last week; returns to a trip which probably suits best; stablemate of Loom Large. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten 16 times since last win last April but he's run three good races over C&D this season and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

held up in rear, steady headway on far side of group from 2f out, stayed on inside final furlong, not pace to challenge |
7/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective elsewhere but this track really plays to his strengths, winning for the fourth time over C&D when powering clear three weeks ago; didn't get a clear run through one week later but still looked in top form; more appealing than most in here. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two-time course scorer who came in a close third at Ayr (Off Spin in second) before extending her run of good efforts with a close fifth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there 13 days ago; a player once more eased 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
5th 11 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f); not the force of old but returned from break with respectable runs of late, most recently when a never-nearer third over C&D (good) yesterday; should be in the thick of it if turning out again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer in 2024; back in good form of late, runner-up in nine-runner handicap over C&D 16 days ago; a likely player again, nudged up 1lb. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month then won comfortably here (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; the drop back in trip seems a likely negative but she went close over 7f on AW in February and is entitled to respect given how well she took to the course last time on her first visit here. |
13/2 |

1st 9 (12) |
11th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Returned from three-month break with creditable second on Tapeta at Newcastle (1m) a fortnight ago but needs to prove she can transfer that form to turf (unplaced all ten starts on grass). |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (9) |

Seemingly back in good form at Southwell (6f) a fortnight ago, where she was denied a clear run before keeping on for fourth; remains 5lb below her last winning mark and will be suited by today's return to 7f; good chance. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner but it is over four years since his last victory and his last two runs leave him with plenty to prove. |
33/1 |

9th 11 (2) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
His mark continues to fall but his close AW third last November was his sole bright point last season and he hasn't shone on either run this year; bolted before start and withdrawn at Newcastle recently (33-1 at the time). |
33/1 |
|
2 (11) |
15th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won his first two starts as a 2yo including here (6f), but 0-30 since; 5lb lower than when beaten less than a length back here (6f) last November, but his profile is a concern and he needs the blinkers to make a difference. |

9st 4lb |
In the frame three consecutive times in recent weeks, most recently when fourth behind Jkr Cobbler over C&D (good) eight days ago, but remains without a win since spring 2024 and recent 2lb rise is not helpful. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Without a win since spring 2024 but was placed behind Lope Y Linda over C&D (soft) last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark at Musselburgh (7f, good) on Tuesday; must be considered. |
6/1 |

Useful on AW on his day but 0-21 on turf; handicapped accordingly but his latest C&D 12th didn't suggest he was the answer to today's puzzle. |
25/1 |
|
12th 13 (7) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Belied 100-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 off his much higher AW mark at Newcastle (6f) last week but has 0-20 strike-rate on turf; others have more persuasive profiles. |
20/1 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Swept through from off the pace to win a good C&D handicap in January; well beaten in two runs since and surprising if there weren't a few stronger in this field. |
