C&D winner (off 3lb lower) last autumn but has a question mark over current form, having trailed home last (had an irregular heartbeat) in sole run this year; market can guide. |

Races prominently; has won here (1m2f, soft) and was in good form over 1m at Newcastle late last year before an off-day at Wolverhampton; could well need this on his first sighting since Christmas. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have been over 1m at Newcastle (good second there last time); 0-20 on turf, but fair second at Pontefract in June and a chance on that form. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most recent racing over 7f but is fine at this trip, as when third over C&D three weeks ago; was below-par the only other time he's worn a visor rather than the usual cheekpieces but has claims otherwise. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (3) |
26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple 7f AW winner (including here) who has also won over 1m; went close when 1lb higher at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month but unable to repeat that effort in two subsequent starts; handy mark if he can bounce back. |
9/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Tapeta winner who had a near miss over C&D last month but he's not easy to predict and was never involved at Newcastle (first-time visor) last time; regular cheekpieces return but he has a wide draw and comes with risks attached. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |
20/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

No wins in ten and last two efforts were not his best, but a near miss here in January (classified race) offers some hope. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; beaten a short head at Newcastle in January (1m2f) and not disgraced on first run after wind surgery when fourth of five over C&D after a break last time (soft); should do better this time. |

29th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner recently but ran well in this grade over a furlong further last time; has run well on four of last five starts (including over C&D) and another good run seems likely. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a 14-race losing run in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month (fourth course win) and ran just as well when second of ten in a handicap (clear of the third) over the same trip back here last time; the winner is 3-3 since so a 4lb rise may not prevent another big run. |

Pulled up on hurdle debut last month but he bounced back with a smooth win over C&D (classified event) 18 days ago; that was his ninth success in this sphere and he's only been nudged up 1lb for that win; key player. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

9st 7lb |
Has struggled this year, coming 13lb down the weights, including back on to Tapeta latest; three turf wins came from the front (all in late summer) and there's other pace in here, leaving her hard to recommend. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

All three wins when making the running at about 1m on turf, most recently 13 months ago; has dropped a fair way in the weights since low-key course runs at the end of 2022 but just muddling through back on turf since. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Currently 3-6 in August, 0-21 otherwise, but she turned in another ordinary effort last time behind Touchwood; well treated now but hard to recommend and Motarajel looks her trainer's best shot. |

7f course winner whose losing run is up to 19, but he could be given a chance on his fourth of 12 from 4lb higher in a 0-60 over C&D last month; had excuses when well beaten back here (7f) a fortnight ago; shortlisted. |

Former sprinter who's not as good now and has become inconsistent; no problem with an easy, turning 7f when winning on turf in August but this is the first time he's been 1m and his stamina will be tested over a straight course. |
