24th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won easily at York (soft) last October when back up to 2m; better form in two of his three starts this season, bouncing back to win the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) on latest with a strong late bid from the rear; 4lb higher today but may well have more to offer at 2m+. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing at Southwell just 12 days ago; however, a good case can be made on his previous form as he won easily at York last October when back up to 2m (soft), and stayed on well for second over 1m6f at Southwell (AW) on his reappearance; versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with big run. |

11th May 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Haydock (2m, good) last summer and has run creditably over 1m4f/1m5f this term; needs to find a bit extra and she's unraced on AW since three runs in 2021, good second on Polytrack final occasion, so others seems to bring more pressing claims today. |

Won at Haydock (2m, good) last summer and made a pleasing return when third of nine at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month (runner-up has won since); respected down 1lb though she will require a solid pace over this trip. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Often front-runner but not on last four outings; his wins have got more infrequent and the latest (2024 reappearance) was in just a three-runner race; has a good mark if on song and he's a renowned mud lover, so testing ground would make him hard to dismiss totally even though he's now an 11yo. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Not straightforward but his record for current stable features a useful win at Newmarket (2m2f) last September; creditable second (off 1lb lower) in this race last year; place possibilities. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins in his time with Phil Kirby; four runs for Tracy Waggott and better than ever when winning the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm) under Aiden Brookes on latest; probably fine in the mud and won a C&D race last term, so should have a big say despite going back up 4lb. |

Won at York (2m, good to soft) last July and just 2lb higher today; could improve for recent return at Ripon but good performances were scarce last season and slow ground, which seems preferable, is unlikely to prevail. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |

Won final start last term and also in three of his eight races this season; comes here on a hat-trick after scoring at Carlisle (2m1f, good) and Ripon (2m, soft) and he streaked 10l clear in the latter, so has to be in serious calculations despite 7lb rise. |

Dual novice hurdle winner at Newcastle (2m/2m4f) in February; flopped when favourite for valuable series final in March (handicap hurdle debut) but returns to this code after commendable second in Chester Plate on the Flat last month and could still have significant potential over jumps. |

Won on his only previous visit here and is well handicapped following a dry spell on the AW (now 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground last autumn); stamina looked to give out when favourite over a stiff 2m1f last time. |

Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |

8st 13lb |
Often ridden by Zak Wheatley; slow starts have been interfering with what used to be a front-running role; best known for exploits at Chester, admittedly last winning any race in July 2023; ran creditably off this mark in good handicaps both starts this term, sixth in the Chester Cup last time, but he was third in this race last year and may come up a bit short once again. |
