Four-time course winner, three over this trip, who was second in this race last year; running well since comeback in May, placed all three starts including a win over C&D (good; Soldiers Design third) in June; solid third over 6f here last time, despite a messy start; contender again. |

Last summer's two wins came over 6f, the second of them off this mark; should come on for her recent return to action but others appeal more for win purposes. |

9st 6lb |
Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last season; yet to strike this year but he went close at Ffos Las (5f, good to soft) last week and runs off the same mark today; Oisin Murphy booked; other pace influences to contend with. |

3lb lower than his last win at Yarmouth in June 2023; he tends to lead but has weakened out of contention on his last three starts; drops to 5f for the first time and with his style of running it may suit. |

9st 0lb |
Won twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but last year was a struggle and he was beaten 11l on his Redcar reappearance (6f, good) 12 days ago; now drops back in trip but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |

Won twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024; 2025 was a struggle and, although his mark has bottomed out, he has plenty tot prove on his reappearance. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Turf/AW winner who fared best of those who were handy when close up at Newcastle; went off favourite there and his turn looks near. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; the return to 6f didn't have a positive effect at Catterick last time but he had finished third on Tapeta on his penultimate start; others look safer. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Signed off last year in a fine run of form on the AW and has been knocking on the door this year, including on turf; this is a belated return to 6f but one to consider. |

Won a Catterick novice (6f, good to firm for Olly Williams as a 2yo, but 0-14 since including ten starts for this yard; little of late to suggest he will turn things around here. |

Sole win came for Olly Williams at Catterick (6f novice) in July 2022; has struggled for form since joining Jessica Macey (0-9) with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; difficult to consider. |

28th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; knocking at the door at Wolverhampton of late, second last month and then running a fine race for third back there 11 days ago when setting a strong pace and only picked off late; well drawn and another big run looks assured. |
7/1 |

3rd 10 (6) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Wins have come mainly from the front and he came back to form when making most behind Global Effort over C&D last time (0-50 classified); is 2lb better off with that one and has a handy draw. |
7/1 |

2nd 10 (2) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

C&D win last summer at this level; chased home My Turn Now at Chelmsford in November but he's not been at that level on his last three starts; well drawn but needs a revival. |
