20th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; successful on AW here (1m) last month off 1lb lower and held his form well on turf since, latterly finishing fourth of 14 in a strong York handicap last week (1m, good to firm); this is weaker and he is of obvious interest. |

Five-time turf winner who scored on AW last month; fair efforts on turf on his three starts since but may be vulnerable in his hot handicap. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Thirsk in September and went close in her next two races; all that was over 1m but she's a prominent racer who should be fine over this stiff 7f; reportedly got upset in the preliminaries when below par last time. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran C&D scorer caught the eye under a 7lb claimer when a running-on fourth of nine over C&D nine days ago; now figures 3lb below his last winning mark for his in-form yard; interesting. |

Winner of ten races over the years including one over C&D; 1lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) last August, but not sure he comes into this race in good enough form to take advantage. |

4th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here including this race last year, while he is back off the same mark as when successful back at this venue later the same month; never figured on last month's Pontefract return, but very much respected back here. |

Finished third in a division of this race last spring, off 2lb lower, before going on to win twice at his beloved Hamilton; lost his way in cheekpieces latterly and would have preferred some rain. |

He has built up a head of steam here this winter, winning six times (five at 7f and once over this trip); respectable third here nine days ago and he can race off 3lb lower today; big player once more. |
