1st 2 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins came in 0-50 classified events in the summer of 2024, including one over C&D; not much to shout about over the past year, though, despite a declining mark; needs the visor to help stop the slide. |
12/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice over 5f in the summer of 2024, including at this track; ran well on her seasonal return last April but it has been downhill ever since; 6f a query too. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual classified winner on a sound surface at 5f in 2024; went close in C&D handicap (good) on her comeback last term and not much went right in that same race on her reappearance a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing when down the field in this race last year but not without a squeak this time. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
11 (8) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
6 (9) |
27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
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 modest C&D handicap in August; placed at Redcar one week later but she's finished down the field over C&D the last twice. |
