10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-18 on the Flat but he was in fine form over hurdles earlier in the year, winning at Catterick and Sedgefield before good placed efforts at Carlise and Musselburgh; betting to guide back from a break. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |

C&D scorer comes here on the back of a solid third of six at Catterick (1m6f) 17 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

3rd 3 (4) |
30th May 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Cheekpieces have made the difference and he'll be 1lb higher from tomorrow following last Friday's Pontefract near-miss; return to this longer trip looks in his favour, with Kaiya Fraser taking 3lb off, and he remains low mileage. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Only win came over C&D last August when rated 1lb lower; below form both runs this season but should do better having had wind surgery. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Made fairly encouraging seasonal debut at Catterick (2m, good; behind Arctic Fox) last month but his only win from 18 starts came on Tapeta and others have more pressing claims; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Kept on well to score at his beloved Hamilton (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise will make life tougher as he seeks to win away from that Lanarkshire venue for the first time; down the field (sixth) behind Stellarmasterpiece over 1m4f here in April. |
7/2 |

1 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual course winner (1m4f/1m5f); form has dipped slightly since finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m6f, good to firm) in May but, on recent evidence, he's closely matched with today's rivals Crystal Guard and Sugarpiehoneybunch; foolish to dismiss. |

Dual 1m4f winner on Tapeta elsewhere; placed three times from six starts over this sort of trip on Tapeta and could make the frame from just 2lb above his last winning mark. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |
16/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (12.4f, good) in July and respectable efforts in next two runs but his form nosedived at Hamilton last month; has something to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back; stablemate of Elemental Eye. |

10st 2lb |
Respectable fifth over C&D (good; first run after wind op) last month and didn't run badly on the Flat a fortnight later (first-time tongue-tie) but he's 0-26 under all codes now and is 6lb out of the weights today. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored over C&D in January off just 1lb lower; absent since a heavy defeat over hurdles in May but the January win came after a 95-day break; visor the headgear of choice today; more appealing than many. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Seen only once over hurdles since 2023, when pulled up last summer, and his AW win in January came in a low-grade handicap; needs to prove he can still be competitive off a mark this high over jumps. |

Won twice on slow ground here in the autumn (1m7f/1m5f) but was behind La Tosca and Ebony Maw when keeping-on fourth here (1m7f, soft) last month and the forecast quicker ground today is not ideal. |

Dundalk winner over 1m4f in February 2024, that being his only previous win; has beaten only one rival home in five starts since joining this stable and now has cheekpieces back on having been absent for 200 days; best watched unless the market speaks in his favour. |
