21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ended 2024 with 6f Newcastle nursery success in December but well below par in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Wetherby this summer; he's not easy to make a case for. |

Sprung a 125-1 surprise at Newcastle in December (6f) and ran with credit at Southwell one week later; low-key return to turf at Redcar six weeks ago; still early days but not a solid option. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-19 and modest form nowadays; also down the weights and followed three competitive 7f efforts on AW with a fair show in big field on turf last time, but this first visit to Brighton needs to spark something extra from him. |
9/1 |

5th 3 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-18 but he's finished runner-up at Southwell (7f) in two of his last three runs, including a bold bid last Thursday; only 1lb higher than for that close call and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to turf. |

C&D winner in November and added to tally when making all over 6f at this course in January; failed to recover from a tardy start at Southwell next time and wasted no time showing he's still in form when third back here (6f again) 23 days ago; respected. |

Recent form has been up and down, but she has managed to win three times since June including twice on good ground here (6f/7f); has won on good to soft, but soft ground would raise a question; not sure what to expect in any case. |

8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |

Nine-race maiden who has shown ability, as when third of nine here (6f) last month but she didn't back it up over the same trip 12 days later; tries this far for first time and makes limited appeal despite another 2lb drop. |

Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away. |
