17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; his stable is a dab hand when it comes to older horses progressing through the ranks and, with the Epsom form having been franked, a 3lb rise could prove lenient for this thriving 5yo. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time winner who improved last year and was better than ever when scoring at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance nearly three months ago; subsequently absent but unlikely he'd be making the journey down without good reason and may be capable of better yet. |

Three wins last year included one at Catterick (7f) and one off this mark (6f, good); absent five months and he will need to be at his best to make a winning return. |

Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting. |

10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
C&D novice winner (good to soft) last October; hasn't kicked on this year, but did shape okay (runner-up) in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (6f, good to soft) three starts back; an easing mark, change of headgear, and the return to Catterick are all reasons to retain faith. |
10/1 |

27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second of five at Chester (6f, good) last month, but was below that form there a fortnight ago and has basically been disappointing since her 7f 2yo win in October. |
25/1 |

14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has mixed form in her six starts but she won a Catterick novice (7f, good to soft) last October and was a respectable second over C&D (cheekpieces added) last time; this is a deeper race but mark is sliding and she's in the mix. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark. |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark on AW debut when landing a C&D handicap in September; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) next time and he had an excuse in tough conditions at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in final run in the autumn; that was a major blip but he's had a break since and could bounce back with a big run on his return. |

9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his first go on the AW in 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) latest and he probably acts on soft; seriously considered in this weak race. |

10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (11) |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |

Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from his 29 starts but close fourth in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) two starts ago and slow ground may not have suited there subsequently; has run well here in the past and could be involved. |

Only 1-28 but it was his second run after wind surgery when close up in Spun To Gold's race here last week; soft ground would not be ideal should it get wet. |

No obvious signs of ability (0-4), but has been given a four-month break since struggling on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (7f, last of eight) in March; safer options lie elsewhere. |
