31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however. |

Strong finish from the rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 1lb higher than today and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his three efforts this season a long way behind him, latest when not faring nearly so well with the draw back in Chester Plate, and others have more pressing claims. |

Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him. |

11st 10lb |
7-23 overall and she arrives on a roll after wins over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in June and on the Flat here (1m5f, good to soft) in September; should make a chaser and could be hard to peg back if getting into a good rhythm. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |

Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred. |

Industrious and dependable sort over 1m6f-2m2f, who's fit from AW, but his turf strike-rate is just 1-17 and that makes him look vulnerable. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |

The vast majority of last year was disappointing; however, perhaps first time up will be the time to catch him as he reappeared with a good third in this 12 months ago; now 12lb lower; could be dangerous. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Had an excuse (saddle slipped, eased) last time when bidding for a Chester double; well suited by 2m but remains on career-high mark and this is a better grade than he usually runs in; difficult task. |

5th 4 (5) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |

Bang-in-form 5yo who posted a career-best performance when scoring here (2m, good) a fortnight ago; today's drop back in trip won't be a problem; likely contender again. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Returns to the Flat after two heavy defeats over hurdles; ran below market expectations on last attempt under this code but is competitively treated on best AW/turf form. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal. |

9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |

5th 9 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |

Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |
11/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

2nd 2 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May. |

9st 6lb |
6-19 on AW but 0-10 on turf; none of her turf form matches this mark and her second here last September was on heavy going; blinkered latest; while moving back up from 1m4f should help, others have more pressing claims. |

9th 11 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

6-19 on AW but 0-9 on turf; came second here (1m6f, heavy) in September but returns to turf on a 5lb higher mark, and still has something to prove on this surface; sports first-time blinkers. |

Mainly consistent on the AW and was only around half a length behind Shrimp Shady when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but she finished last of 14 in this race last year which does leave her with a bit to prove. |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |
