23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile as regards ground; form this year features an AW success in February and close second at Wetherby (7f) last time; five-time winner on turf and C&D record includes two placed efforts; not ruled out. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two good runs at Southwell preceded her Newcastle success in February (7f; blinkered first time); she hasn't run badly at Lingfield twice since, for all she has finished down the field, and this test may prove more suitable; key player. |

8st 9lb |
Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm) but she's been up and down since and was only seventh of ten at Hamilton last Tuesday; still 2lb higher than for her last success and she has some work to do. |

Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm); has often run well in defeat since but she wasn't at her best over C&D last month; a few others look stronger in this field. |

Won two 5f handicaps (good to firm and soft) in the second half of 2023; modest effort on his seasonal return last month though and needs to take a good step forward. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Infrequent winner who missed last year but he returned to form when runner-up at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last week; that was eye-catching off a reduced mark and he has claims if he can back that up. |

Two poor efforts since returning from almost two years off and it's hard to know what he's capable of any more. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ran on well for clearcut success under Toby Moore at Kempton (6f, AW) a week ago and has now won three times this season; should cope quite well with the forecast slower ground here; respected under 5lb penalty. |

14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Her strike-rate on turf is nothing special but she's 2-6 on artificial surfaces and only just failed to overhaul the front-runner at Lingfield (6f) under Toby Moore on her latest AW start; another good run is likely. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some. |

Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance. |
