16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |
11/2 |

8th 9 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

1st 8 (10) |
16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on firm but seems suited by some give in the ground these days; sound run when about 3l fourth at Haydock last time on first run at this trip (good to soft); on a really good mark at present and one with a chance. |

4th 1 (9) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Drew nicely clear to end lengthy losing run in basement-grade classified race on turf return at Nottingham (6f, soft) on Thursday; faces tougher task here but remains well handicapped on older form (even under 4lb penalty) and will be fine on the faster ground. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate for one of his ability; drops into first 0-50 classified event and has good 7lb claimer booked; should give a good account. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Multiple winner down the years but is 0-7 this term and her form has declined to some degree, as current mark reflects; drops back to Class 6 for the first time in a while. |
14/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Only fifth in a field of six last week at Nottingham, but was close up behind Spirit Of Applause and that represented some return to form. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

C&D winner who returned to form when third at Ripon (5f, good) in May and is 5lb lower today; however, this 7yo has struggled on both starts since and has something to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |
20/1 |

18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

Lightly-raced maiden; beaten only 5l when seventh on her return from a 411-day break at Doncaster last week (5.5f, soft) and should improve for the run. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be winning races off his reduced mark and the return to 6f looks a good move judged on recent efforts; four of his 12 wins have come over C&D; high on the list. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (4) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |
14/1 |

4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well held in sole course run (5f) but he won on Southwell Tapeta (6f) last December and showed he retains plenty of ability in both runs this year; bolted to post and withdrawn on intended yard debut in September; not dismissed on the earlier runs. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |

7th 6 (1) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |
11/2 |
