27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Pontefract in July (6f, good); not so good in either start since but not handicapped out of things if bouncing back. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well. |

C&D winner who shaped well when runner-up in 6f York handicap in June; refitted with cheekpieces when a below-par ninth at Ayr (6f) following month; goes well on soft ground so this veteran can't be dismissed after a break though. |

0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

15th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins (turf/AW) from his 11 runs for Aidan O'Brien, the latest off 4lb lower at Dundalk (6f) last August; changed hands for 15,000gns in October; he needs to be at the very top of his game on this stable/seasonal debut, but new trainer does very well with recruits from other yards; not ruled out. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Impressive Curragh maiden winner last year and got back on the scoresheet when taking a 6f handicap here in August; well below form in a French Group 3 since and needs a career-best to take this. |
