Four wins over the winter included a C&D success under George Bass when Mc'Ted was fourth, but he's been kept busy and last week's well-held sixth at Southwell was somewhat underwhelming; needs to bounce back. |

Three wins on the other Tapeta tracks in January and one at Chelmsford this month; creditable second over C&D (sole run here) on latest outing and should not be far away. |

All six wins have been on the AW; two fair runs at Newcastle in June/July but well beaten on last three runs on turf; plenty to prove. |

Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |

9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Landed hat-trick this time last year, including two round Brighton, so this track won't be a concern; a string of poor efforts since, though, including when beaten a long way behind Pride Of Nepal at Windsor last week. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Fired off a hat-trick at this trip in cheekepices last May/June but he's been well held on last five starts, including when making his comeback at Yarmouth last month; visor (unplaced previously) is tried for a third time. |

1m2f turf hat-trick last May/June (Brighton and Pontefract); went off the boil and last of five on reappearance in January but he's well handicapped if springing back to life; 0-15 record at Yarmouth includes some places. |

10st 0lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March but her winning streak came to an end over C&D (fourth of eight) last time; still unexposed at this trip but she needs to find more to defy this mark. |

Non-stop progress since returning from a layoff, winning four times and going 21lb up the weights; may not be done yet but she didn't look to see it out in a couple of tries at beyond 1m2f last year, including over C&D, and this is her toughest test yet. |
