8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though. |
16/1 |

10th 1 (4) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped down the weights prior to a ready C&D win in December, his third course success; a 4lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted and he is high on the list. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Effective on AW and turf; respectable third in big field at Doncaster (6f) returned to this sphere last time; remains on a workable mark and gained last two wins over 5f. |
11/1 |

3rd 18 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Usually slowly away but his refusal to race at Newcastle in January was a first; won't mind getting back on the grass and he is proven in big-field handicaps; could go well at a price. |

7th 2 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Usually slowly away but his refusal to race here last month was a first; ran okay over 7f here last week and capable of a big run but he is a risky proposition. |

On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark. |

She's dropped back down to a dangerous mark but she struggled on her final three starts last season and did likewise on her reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago; a major turnaround is necessary. |

9st 7lb |
Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

7 (10) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

5th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |

6-17 on AW and better than ever this spring, following his Lingfield win in March with a narrow defeat at Southwell; 0-8 on turf but has run well on fast ground in the past; perhaps a shade high in the weights now. |

2nd 2 (1) |

On a handy mark on his best AW form last winter and he's also effective on turf; however, he hasn't shone since being short-headed at Lingfield in January and needs to raise his game. |
