8st 12lb |
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. |

Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade. |

9st 4lb |
Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |

Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft, 18-1) last September and she finished runner-up on her only other visit to Carlisle (7f maiden); not many positives to take from her last four starts, but she probably needed it at Ayr (6f, good; 33-1) off a six-month break. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best run this season when 3.5l third to Giselles Izzy (11lb worse off) at Ayr in June (7f, good); hasn't fared quite so well when stepped back up to 1m on two starts since; back after a break; place chance. |
11/2 |

4th 8 (2) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
18-race maiden but he's run respectably in classified events on his last two starts (7f/1m); returns to handicap company with place claims. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but ran with credit dropped to this level for the first time when third of nine at Ayr, (7f, good) last time, shaping as though worth another go at this trip; a contender on form, but unraced on ground faster than good. |
6/1 |
