9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a win at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month and creditable third at Chester (7f, good) last week; however, he might be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip now back on a galloping track. |

8yo who hasn't been easy to win with in the last few years but he didn't run badly at Southwell (5f, AW) last month when back from an absence and rain would aid his cause; below his last winning mark; chance. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a four-timer in the first half of last year (including a win over C&D), but 0-13 since; recent efforts don't suggest he is about to capitalise on a falling mark; blinkers made no difference last time and a tongue-tie is given a go now. |

19th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
On lengthy losing run and has had a few false dawns since November but he made encouraging late headway when third at Southwell (Tapeta; blinkers reapplied) last month; that was an eyecatching effort over 6f and has claims if he can back that up. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't won since December 2023; plenty of sound placed efforts this term, including when second at Redcar in May (7f, good to firm) and when third at Catterick last week (7f, good); each-way chance. |
7/2 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since December 2023 but has been holding his form well; runner-up in two of his last three starts, including at Redcar (7f, good to firm; 11-2) a fortnight ago; should have no issue with this softer ground with Paul Mulrennan aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

It's a while since he won but he went close at Ayr (7f, good to firm) on May 1 and again ran well when fourth of 13 at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last time; versatile ground-wise; now has another career-low mark; chance. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Three wins this year, the last two on turf, and still feasibly weighted; has been a beaten favourite on his last two starts, but wouldn't judge him too harshly on the latest at Catterick where he saw no daylight for much of the straight and finished with running in him; each-way shout. |
