21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner; three turf victories this year, the latest in a Class 3 at Hamilton in August; disappointing back at Hamilton in September when soft ground shouldn't have been an excuse; the latest run raises a question now. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |

5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

9st 5lb |
Two wins last summer (7f/7.4f) and she's below her last winning mark; a couple of fair efforts in the first half of this spring but two lesser performances have followed and she has to raise her game. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten at Redcar last Monday when reportedly hanging right-handed throughout; however, she posted two good efforts previously (including over C&D) and could be thereabouts if swiftly back on song. |

15-race maiden; coped well with the step up to this trip when a close fourth over C&D last week; that wasn't a searching examination of her stamina but this might not be either and she's one to consider. |
