2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time winner over C&D and 2lb lower than for the latest; never figured on last month's stable debut at Leicester after 217 days off, but she may have needed it and no great surprise if she ran well. |
14/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent mare who signed off for Mark Loughnane with a solid third in 9.4f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has gone well fresh so not out of things for her new yard. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (11) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time C&D with 38 of his 47 AW starts having been here; 1lb below his last winning mark and capable if getting a good pace to aim at, but she doesn't have the best of draws and may just need this after three months off. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got into the habit of blowing the start but in fair form, adding to her trainer's good recent run when winning on turf last time; has not looked to see it out in a couple of previous tries over this far, though, and is drawn widest upped 3lb. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has a very solid record on this track but she's run only once here since winning a C&D classified event last March under Rob Hornby; only just above her latest winning mark last May and there's a case to be made. |

C&D winner; comes here on the back of two good course runs over 1m4f but defying the widest stall over this C&D could be an insurmountable challenge. |

Dual AW winner, latterly over 1m2f here in September 2024; fair second after pulling hard when tried over 1m4f again here last time; could go well. |

Only 2l away over 1m4f here in early March and last win was over C&D just over a year ago; however, this veteran is usually opposable these days. |
14/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Veteran who gained the last six of his 12 wins on Tapeta; has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from break in October; revival needed. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Veteran who gained the last six of his 12 wins on Tapeta; ran fairly well from the front when fifth here (1m2f) two starts ago but has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in October; others preferred. |

On a long losing run but he wasn't disgraced with sixth of 12 in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; no forlorn hope. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden on turf; tailed off on return to grass at Catterick last time (1m4f, good; cheekpieces; lost a shoe); has blinkers back on but hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

13th 9 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Kept to AW in the main nowadays and winless since last March; however, he ran well last August when he last tackled turf and the return of cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may well be in his favour; also has a first-time tongue-tie; could be involved. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Ten defeats include three for her current yard and overall profile is none too compelling; perhaps the cheekpieces can bring her on. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Poor for Martin Dunne and, having shown a bit more on her debut for this yard last month, ran dismally at Southwell; having her first run on turf and needs to improve a deal for the surface switch. |
