1st May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Arrives at the top of his game, scoring twice over 1m here before a good second of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; firmly in the picture off the same mark. |

2nd 1 (11) |
19th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood. |

Took record to 0-29 when chasing home Billy McGarry over C&D last month; enjoyed a relatively soft lead that day and is likely vulnerable for win purposes again. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing run; placed over C&D on his penultimate start but failed to back it up here last week (1m); others have more pressing claims. |

7th 6 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Veteran whose eight wins came on the AW in France; returned to form when third here over 7f eight days ago and now needs to back that up; return to 1m is no problem. |

3rd 5 (3) |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Five AW wins on his record but 0-23 on turf; well beaten on turf on his last two starts (around 1m) and dropping in trip isn't enough to tempt. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and kept on for good third there (7f) on Sunday in a first-time visor (now left off); he's 8-52 on AW as opposed to 1-13 on turf but he ran fairly well on grass at Doncaster two starts ago and could have a part to play in this less competitive race. |

9st 4lb |
11-time winner, with five on turf and six on AW; his last success was off 2lb higher at Southwell in March but he's struggled since and needs to get back on track. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

Came from off the pace when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) in March but he's been below that level in three starts since; all five wins on turf have been at Brighton and others have stronger claims. |

8st 13lb |
Showed some ability remained when fifth at Chester in June (7.6f, good) but well held Flat and hurdles since; tailed off in the faces of a stiff task at Chester on Saturday. |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Four-time winner on the Flat but not since September 2023 and she has a lowly mark nowadays; best watched on hurdling debut. |
