4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran on well to win a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago (6f, soft); that race had rather an end-of-season feel to it but the Topspeed figure was good and a 3lb rise looks fair; interesting on first AW start since October 2018. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four course wins, three of them over this trip, and she's well handicapped on form as recent as March; flopped on turf seven weeks ago but this should be more suitable. |
8/1 |
|
13th 9 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |

1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Veteran who has not won since October 2023 and has finished in rear on his last four outings; others appeal more. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Tapeta winner at Southwell (6f) in early 2023 but she hasn't regained her best form since back from an absence and was well held on the return to Southwell last week. |

C&D winner in 2023; her form has dipped the last twice but the pick of this year's form gives her claims and this is not a strong event. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
3-31 for Tim Easterby, including a Catterick win (5f, good) last August; second at Lingfield (6f, AW) on stable debut in December but not so good in her three runs since, so others have more pressing claims; some headgear (not used by current yard) returns. |

Ex-Tim Easterby; Catterick winner last August (5f, good) and good second at Lingfield on stable debut (6f) in December; last two runs have been a bit disappointing. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |
14/1 |

11th 8 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a nose by Mrs Trump in this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not at his best this year but his Redcar fourth in May offered hope he could add to his 11 wins. |
12/1 |

6th 10 (6) |

9st 2lb |
Recorded his tenth turf win when scoring at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; now 2lb lower than for that success but he's been short of spark in three runs this season and needs to raise his game. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

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. |
