20th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

5f Tapeta winner in autumn but tailed off following a slow start here in November; back on track returned to Southwell last time (fourth won next time) but not certain to back that up. |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |

1st 2 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere. |

5th 9 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and ran creditably over C&D in February; raced wide from an outside draw back at Wolverhampton last time; that run is best ignored and he can bounce back. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't need to be at his best when finally off the mark in a weak 5f Musselburgh novice last month and took his handicap record to 0-9 when a respectable fourth at Newcastle (6f) since; may again have to settle for minor honours. |
6/1 |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak 5f novice last time; won't mind the return to 6f or Tapeta (went close over C&D in the spring) but has had plenty of chances off similar ratings. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; three wins at Catterick in 2022 but she hasn't added to them since; recorded an RPR of 79 on her seasonal return when rated 14lb higher; although she's gone backwards since, she had a wind op last month and wasn't seen to best effect at Catterick 19 days ago; not discounted dropping into a 0-60. |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Three C&D wins to her name from six runs; the return here should help, back from wind surgery, and while Birkenhead looks her yard's best chance a revival wouldn't surprise off a career-low mark. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, the latest of those coming in first-time blinkers off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been running well since, including when runner-up here 15 days ago, and there's no reason to think she won't go well again. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow C&D winner in first-time blinkers (from 7lb lower) in January; has held her form well since, a close fourth (Shatin Venture second, La Rochette fifth) to Digital latest; likely to give another solid account with Paul Mulrennan aboard. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Got the better of Digital over C&D last month (blinkered first time) and ran another solid race when a close second at Southwell one week later; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

Patchy record when trained by Karl Burke; 80-1 when down the field on last month's stable debut (C&D; after 482 days off); may come on for that but others look safer. |

Dual C&D winner in 2022; latest success was in a turf handicap at Lingfield off 14lb higher in August last year; mainly disappointing since, including for new yard following wind surgery this term; plenty to prove. |
