Ended a losing run with a front-running 5f win at Doncaster in March (soft); in and out since and there are other pace influences in this field. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Extended his run of creditable efforts last time, when he divided Huddle Up and Count d'Orsay at Carlisle; no problems with ground/track/trip and likely to give it his best shot again. |

Back to winning form at Thirsk (6f, heavy) last month and has twice run well since, fourth of nine on ground that would have been quick enough at Beverley (5f) last time; considered under his promising amateur. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-running veteran who has won 11 times; his last success was off 4lb higher at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's been disappointing since and needs to get back on track. |

Front-running veteran who has won 11 times including over C&D; got pestered for the lead at Catterick last time but he's been disappointing since his win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and others are preferred. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |

7th 6 (1) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April before finishing fourth there over 6f next time; however he's been down the field in four starts since (5f-7f); back on AW. |
20/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |

3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

Placed in a classified stakes and a Yarmouth handicap (both over 5f on good to firm) earlier in the summer; not so good last time (6f); all four wins have been on AW, including over C&D; should go well. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
