Seen only twice this term, finishing second at Catterick then posting a lesser effort at Newcastle; still has something to prove on AW. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two 6f turf handicaps last July; encouraging return from a 294-day break at Catterick in August and this stiffer test at the trip should suit; still to prove her effectiveness on AW. |

Won two in a row last July, at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) and Redcar (6f, good) before finishing second of ten here (6f, soft) in October; has been off since failing to beat a rival home at Newcastle (7f, AW) 294 days ago and this return to 5f isn't sure to be a positive. |

9st 4lb |
He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today. |

2nd 4 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

2-41 on turf, the latest success coming at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last May; runner-up on his last two starts, latest over 5f at that venue 12 days ago, and warrants respect now stepped back up in trip. |

Record of 2-40 on turf but his last win was at Thirsk last spring and he was runner-up at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week; looks interesting off 1lb lower here and he's respected back at this track. |

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. |

Ran on well when winning a 6f handicap at Redcar in May; well held at Pontefract last month but that was in Class 5 company; 4lb lower than for her win in this race in 2024; should go well. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Two wins this summer, the latest over C&D 13 days ago when having a bit to spare; a 4lb higher mark may prove less of a hindrance than the widest stall. |

1st 2 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often front-runner; course winner over 7f last June and gained her fifth success when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) five starts ago; behind Barmyblade when third over this C&D before a lesser effort at Thirsk 11 days ago; could bounce back in this lower grade. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

6f win here last season; best effort this year came over C&D but she wasn't able to build on it last time and there is other pace to contend with in this field. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has generally struggled since her Ripon win (6f, good) last September but she showed signs of a revival when third there (5f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if she can build on that but she's drawn out wide here and could have competition for the lead. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
5th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
