26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Seven of his 12 wins have been here (five over this trip); has never won off a mark this high however and most likely needs to drop a few pounds. |
20/1 |

8th 3 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
No signs of age dimming his enthusiasm, completing a December/January hat-trick (second leg over 1m here); a slow start didn't help when sixth of 12 at Southwell last time and he can be treated as if still in form. |

11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |
10/1 |
|
5th 11 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Record of 1-27 on AW but he gave it a good shot when third behind Aisling Oscar over C&D three weeks ago; on same mark here and he could be in the mix again. |

3rd 3 (1) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

4-13 on turf but just 1-26 on AW; returned from five-month break with low-key 7f run here on Friday and remains on the same fairly tough mark. |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
2 (11) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

16th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who's had valid excuses since headgear went on and is 3lb lower back from a two-month break; sat close to a strong pace down to 1m last time and holds claims in an open handicap. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has some encouraging form on the Tapeta at Newcastle, most recently shaping better than the bare result over 1m2f last week (made a challenge before fading late on); looks open to improvement back down in distance; interesting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

Hasn't found it easy in handicaps since a novice win last November; down in the weights and fitted with new headgear today but opposable from a wide stall. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Form dipped at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he is normally consistent on AW and could well rebound; back on career-low mark and holds a good chance if taking well to new headgear (tongue-tie and blinkers replace hood/cheekpieces). |
11/2 |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

0-9 since his novice win here (8.6f) last September but he's reached the frame in last three runs and was beaten less than 2l behind See You Boy at Lingfield (7f) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw again but he shouldn't be far away. |
9/1 |

Veteran five-time course winner who's still capable of being competitive, as he showed when second to Urban Dandy in a classified here (1m) a month ago; the return to handicaps asks for a bit more. |
