27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism over C&D in December; not in anything like the same form, beating a total of just one rival, in three outings since. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (4) |

Has registered three of his four wins over C&D, the most recent off just 1lb lower last June; ran respectably at Newmarket when last seen; one for the shortlist back here. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who posted a fairly encouraging reappearance run at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, when rallying for fifth of eight; each-way possibilities if building on that run now back up in trip. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
10yo who made a winning reappearance here in 2024 (sole course win from 29 attempts) and was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh last September; however, his campaign petered out tamely and a return to form is needed on his seasonal debut. |
25/1 |

9 (11) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Not a regular winner; successful at Musselburgh last September (1m, good) but form tailed off after that and lacks a run this time. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
11yo who has plenty to prove on the evidence of this year's three runs; however, he's 6lb lower than when winning at Redcar last October and perhaps the return to Carlisle will trigger a revival, with his course form figures reading 4106231. |
20/1 |

7th 11 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Veteran with 12 wins but he's lost his way and has struggled after slow starts in both runs this spring; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around back up in trip. |
20/1 |

11th 10 (7) |

Record is 2-18; best efforts this season when third at Ayr in July/August; filled same position in this contest last year; likely player if back in similar form. |

Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) last November but this year's Flat form has been disappointing and he was pulled up (albeit on soft ground) when making handicap hurdle debut in selling grade in July. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Scored on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) in November and was very respectable third over same C&D the following month; still unexposed in this sphere but this year's Flat form has been substandard. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Seasonal debutant who could be ready to roll, having commenced last term with form figures of 4211; close second off current mark on penultimate outing; not dismissed. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Front-runner who won at Hamilton (1m, good) in May and Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June; not matched that since but has been building back up and was beaten just a neck at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time; well drawn to attack. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

A fair 1m4f winner in 2023 but he's yet to hit top form this term, tenth of 12 in 1m Ayr handicap ten days ago; needs a step forward. |

10th 10 (4) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Just the one win from 13 and that was over 1m4f last August; quiet this year and now runs over 1m, the shortest trip he's contested since 7f debut; risky enough. |

Arrives on a hat-trick after successes (around 1m) in handicaps at Carlisle and Beverley last month; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise. |
7/2 |

2 (6) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden who hasn't progressed from a close fourth on the AW last winter; hopes rest on the visor turning things around on this step up in trip (cheekpieces didn't do much for her). |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in all three starts over 6f/7f on the Newcastle Tapeta late last year, but has gone the wrong way since including on last month's reappearance/turf debut; enough to prove in the returning cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Solely raced on Tapeta, though on pedigree turf will suit; 3lb lower now than for December's close Newcastle fourth (7f), but refusal to settle three times either side of that tempers confidence in her capitalising. |
