18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Now 5lb lower than when dominating from the front at Musselburgh (7f, good) just over a year ago but slow starts have become an issue in the meantime, and she was always behind when 33-1 for last month's reappearance run; looks risky back at 6f. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Twice a winner in 7f turf handicaps; 3lb lower than for last May's Musselburgh win but that is a result of ending 2025 with a whimper; she has an absence to defy and others look safer. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A 7f winner at Musselburgh in May but she arrives below par, just eighth of ten in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 24 days ago; others are preferred. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only win in 15 attempts came off 1lb higher at Newmarket in August last year (6f, good); fair efforts in a visor (on again) when in the frame on last two starts; has each-way claims. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Soft-ground winner who is below her last winning mark and ran some pretty good races in defeat last month; however, she made it 0-8 for the year when finishing last here (7f, soft) last week and has to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

In reasonable form, having made the frame in last three starts, latest over C&D when one place behind Quest For Fun; 2lb below last winning mark; enters the reckoning. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |
7/1 |
|
2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good C&D runner-up in April but beat only one in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |
|
12th 10 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Had excuses for the fizzling out of his season in 2025 but he'd been a ready winner of his sole C&D start, last May, and later won off this mark in August; appreciated the return to good to firm ground when only narrowly failing to get up at Beverley (about 7f) last month; on the premises. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to show his form in last four appearances but ground softer than good wasn't ideal on seasonal debut latest; 2lb below last winning mark and holds a fighting chance provided he rebounds. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |
4/1 |
