30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m. |

3rd 11 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Placed over 1m6f on last three AW starts; returns to turf on a workable mark and should be fine back at 1m4f; big player if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins were in 2023 but she had some close calls in the autumn and ran another good race when third over C&D three weeks ago; 1lb lower here and she should be in the mix again. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Backed up a good run on the AW with a fourth here last week when just behind Knightmare; a tongue-tie returns along with new blinkers; thereabouts. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed clear signs of a return to form with fourth-place finish in latest AW start and he is just as effective on turf; possibilities off 1lb below last winning mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

On last winning mark but his two efforts this year leave a big doubt over current form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here. |
25/1 |
|
10th 11 (6) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins last summer; competitive if he returns in last season's peak form but he's needed at least his first run back in previous seasons. |
20/1 |
|
7 (9) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins this summer; fourth in a blanket finish (also involving Mafting) there on penultimate start but well beaten at Ayr on latest and he has more to prove here; 7lb claimer enlisted. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Last three wins have come over hurdles, but his last three efforts in that sphere have been moderate; look elsewhere. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when coming in last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back. |

12th 10 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

2nd Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Returned from a long absence last December and he's struggled in nine runs since then; dropped another 4lb but he's a frequent slow starter who makes no appeal back from another break. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

23rd Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
ducked left start, held up in last, smooth headway over 2f out, going easily but waiting for room against near rail over 1f out, soon switched left, pushed along and squeezed through to lead inside final furlong, readily |
6/4 |

1st 2 (2) |
12th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time course winner, three of them over tonight's trip, latterly off 2lb lower last month; hit traffic in a messy affair at Wolverhampton latest and, while a bigger field would have been ideal (is usually dropped in and can pull), he's shortlisted. |
