13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten a head in this race last year and fourth of 22 here in the Ebor in August; began 2026 with another solid effort, when second at Ripon; not a prolific winner with his waiting tactics but big each-way chance. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Smart handicapper who won at Haydock (1m4f, good) off 4lb lower last May and recorded several good efforts in defeat later in 2025; has gone well fresh before. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Likeable hold-up performer who has run crackers in top handicaps over 1m6f on last two starts, fourth of 22 in the Ebor at York (good to firm) before third of 14 to The Reverend (Dramatic Star second) in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock (good); all ground seems to come alike; each-way claims again. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, he's struggled on his five outings since last July and a major turnaround is needed. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times in 2023, including here over 1m2f, but he's not been in the same form in four starts since being gelded; possibly needed the outing over 1m at Kempton last time and now steps back up to 1m4f, which should suit, with better needed. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Issues at the start and with pulling hard in early runs and has been expensive to follow, going backwards since entering handicaps; didn't see out 1m2f on rain-softened ground last time but is running out of excuses. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability in his last three starts and did well to finish third of ten on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good to soft) last time given that he didn't enjoy a smooth trip; could make an impact on AW debut, though he could do with breaking better than he has been. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner but last of those was in April 2023; just his second run this year when finishing with a flourish to take fifth of 11 over C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago; not the force of old but has possibilities if able to build on that run. |

Veteran who has raced only once this year, when soundly beaten in 1m6f AW handicap in July; suited by this C&D and rain will aid his cause but it's very hard to gauge how much ability he retains. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has dropped to a dangerous mark, 8lb lower than when last successful, but losing run up to 11 and he was behind three of these at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago. |
