11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Respectable third over C&D (good to firm) last month but two lesser Ayr runs have followed, including on Monday. |
12/1 |

9th 9 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Course scorer who got back on track with third of five in 5f Catterick handicap 13 days ago; needs considering from an easing mark. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

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. |
20/1 |

8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

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. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched her third Catterick win (6f, good) in April, since when she's been a bit below par with three fourth places; handles the 5f course here but needs a revival. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (13) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all handicap wins at Catterick/Pontefract and those two tracks have been the scene of her last two runs (finished first then fourth); makes first visit to Carlisle. |

26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
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 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent filly who's done most racing over 6f and finished well held in a few tries over this trip; is now 4lb lower than when winning here last autumn but she's generally struggled this season. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a weak Catterick novice in April (5f, soft); only one effort of note in handicaps since but perhaps significant it came over C&D; now 10lb lower and cheekpieces could give him a lift; not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (3) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a modest Catterick maiden in April (5f, soft); mainly struggled in handicaps since, his only run of note coming on AW; others safer. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
14th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) in April but he's struggled in two of his three handicaps since including when beaten 15l at Nottingham (6f; tongue-tie added) last time; now drops back in trip but he's untried on fast ground and others are more convincing. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (4) |
28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f. |
12/1 |
