21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has done all his winning over C&D, most recently off 4lb higher in February; midfield in the latest of his two starts since returning from summer break; good chance if staging a full revival. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five-time 7f winner here and on his last winning mark (February); wasn't in great form back in the spring but has gone well after a break. |

8th 4 (7) |
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. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Operating below last year's peak form but posted sound effort when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last week and remains on same mark as for emphatic C&D success in November; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him back here since (all wins at 7f, including here); his last success came off this mark; likely to be on the premises under Rodriguez. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

1st Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was in France in 2021 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; that was with an eyeshield added and he has claims if he can back that up. |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |
4/1 |

13 (13) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do. |
