21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not won since his stellar campaign in 2024 but there has been promise this year, including at Hamilton on Friday; 2lb lower today and now sports cheekpieces for the first time; chance. |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since 2024; ran well on consecutive 7f starts in April/May and is well handicapped on those efforts but recent sprint form has been below par. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who was well beaten at 33-1 at Redcar a fortnight ago; however, he may have needed that first run since January and he completed an AW hat-trick late last year, the first leg coming over this C&D; he's won here three times and could bounce back with a bold show returned to Southwell. |
10/1 |

9th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell on AW at the end of 2025, winning four times; given a break since a lesser effort behind Spring Is Sprung at Southwell in January; runner-up in this race last year but off 14lb lower. |
25/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

17lb lower than when winning at Ascot last September (5f, good to firm; completing a quick double) having been badly out of form since; usually ridden by Amie Waugh; down to Class 5 in a handicap for the first time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player. |
3/1 |

2nd 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All his wins have been at 5f on good or softer; three fair runs this year; a possible, but stall 9 not ideal. |
