4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All four wins over 7f including here as a 3yo; on a fair mark, but little to suggest dropping to this trip is a positive. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time winner over 7f; posted two pretty good efforts over 1m at Thirsk this spring and his recent 7f defeat is probably best overlooked (restless in stalls, awkward leaving stalls and then raced too freely); can bounce back and make his presence felt here. |

Kept busy in 2025 and he arrives in decent nick, seventh of 15 in 1m Thirsk handicap four weeks ago; he's one for the shortlist with tongue-tie refitted. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific course winner over the years and he's tumbled down the weights; more encouraging signs at Thirsk two weeks ago and he's a major player back under these conditions; cheekpieces now added. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Prolific winner down the years, mainly at Ripon, but he hasn't scored since August 2022; showed he retained some ability with a third on AW in December (7f) but last month's Ripon run didn't suggest he was ready to exploit his lowly mark; down in class at least. |

Got the better of Believe You Me over C&D last summer (soft) and she's 7lb better off with that rival today; returned to form with a bang when powering home to win at Wolverhampton last week (7f), proving suited by the generous pace; 2lb well in under her penalty and she's considered. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Second over C&D (good) in April was up with this year's best efforts and he ran respectably on his other two visits here; latest outing at Lingfield was better after two poor runs but he still needs to find extra. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Far-from-prolific and he's been well beaten the last twice; some of this year's earlier efforts give him strong claims at this level though and a better showing would come as no surprise dropping into classified company. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Nine of his 11 wins have come on Tapeta including one over C&D; bits and pieces of form since his latest success last October, but he looks up against it from 1lb out of the weights. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Some reasonable AW runs this spring and has a lower mark now back on turf; however, he struggled on his two encounters with grass last season and others are more compelling. |

7f/1m wins; perhaps stretched by 1m3f last time but ran well to be a close third and back at 1m1f he should be in the mix. |

15th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Musselburgh (good) in April on seasonal debut, with a lesser show over 7f (good to firm) four weeks ago; more to prove over this sort of trip and if the ground has gone testing. |

18th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Successful in Sunday Series event at Musselburgh (1m) five weeks ago on seasonal debut, adding to his December AW win (7f); connections evidently have the bonus in mind; has low mileage and may well improve further; one for the shortlist. |

Triple turf winner (7f), but he's 0-9 on AW and has finished down the field on Polytrack and Tapeta in last three runs; has quite a bit to prove again and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

Good strike-rate over this C&D but proved disappointing on last two starts, including over C&D last time; will need to fare much better if he's to figure this time. |
