9st 2lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-13 when only sixth over C&D 11 days ago on his second start of the season, but it's possible he's working his way back to form and he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts; not written off. |

Made it 0-12 when tailed off in reapplied cheekpieces on recent reappearance; however, if he's following the same pattern as last year there could be a big run forthcoming with the blinkers back on this afternoon. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |

9st 4lb |
0-13 this year and has dropped to a mark in the 40s; best recent effort when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) on penultimate start; has the worst chance at the weights on current figures. |

Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |
33/1 |

7th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time C&D scorer but he arrives out of sorts, beating only one in classified event over C&D 40 days ago; he needs this change of headgear to spark a resurgence. |

Both wins over 1m on turf; latest effort (over 8.5f here) doesn't suggest she's crying out for this extra yardage; not the percentage call. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-23; on the premises on a few occasions but not often enough to prompt any confidence in her chance; 1m4f third in first-time cheekpieces seven starts back and switches to first-time hood for this reappearance. |
50/1 |

10th 8 (10) |
31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-22; has run the odd creditable race as when third of 13 at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in June, but not matched that form since and the drop in trip made little difference over C&D this month. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
16/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground hat-trick over this trip last August; also runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) in the autumn but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago. |
