A four-time course winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth of eight over 7f here 19 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more from an easing mark. |

9st 8lb |
Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May, taking record here to 3-4; beaten favourite in AW classified since but he may well be superior on turf; high on the list returned to grass. |

Bids for a hat-trick after winning two handicaps at Catterick (7f, good) last month; respected if able to transfer that form back to the AW (0-6). |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3-23; did too much too soon at Musselburgh (7f; fourth, 6-4 favourite; third has won since) on penultimate start; made amends over C&D ten days ago, beating Crocodile Power (runs in the 3.10pm) by over 2l; that was an apprentices' handicap so he escapes a penalty (is due a 5lb rise); key player. |

C&D winner; in good order this winter, including when midfield over C&D last week (met trouble on a few occasions); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and he should be in the thick of it once again. |

Won very similar C&D race to this last summer and was second in C&D handicaps on next two outings; has strong claims if judged on those efforts but needs to raise her game after ending 2024 with two below-par runs. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins on AW last year but his last turf success was in April 2022 and he returned to this sphere with a well-held sixth at Thirsk (6f, good; 12-1) last month; others are more appealing. |

Scraped home over C&D in April but he's been through difficult times since and although he ran well for a long way back over 7f here last time out he did drop out quickly in the closing stages; has a shade to prove. |

In consistent form in the spring when finishing a close second five times, including over C&D, as well as winning a 1m classified event at Newcastle; however, he hasn't been in the same form since back from a break, drastically so last time out; others are much preferred. |
