13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |

9st 5lb |
Won twice in blinkers last season (1m7f/2m); back on a workable mark but made a low-key reappearance in cheekpieces (retained) last month and needs that run to have brought him on. |

9st 7lb |
Has won twice here (including over C&D); three places behind Cosmic Soul when fifth of eight over C&D (good) last month; no improvement with blinkers reinstated (retained) at Nottingham 13 days ago; needs to show improvement. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Catterick regular who was fifth of eight runners there 16 days ago when behind Morandi Second; that race wasn't run to suit and his previous effort there was better; the return of blinkers is no bad thing. |

Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

8st 12lb |
Two wins this spring, latterly when making all to score by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; safely held when making the frame on next two outings (2m/2m1f) but still enters calculations. |

Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; well-held third in Chester 0-80 since but this is more his level. |

Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) eight days ago; 6lb higher in much more competitive race here but won't mind if the ground is much slower. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
10yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle last June and reappeared with a good second here (1m6f, good) last month; she should be fine back up in trip and can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

A break may have helped and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October; however, he was down the field there in December on his first two runs for this yard; something to prove on return. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Record of 32123 over 2m at Newcastle in his final five runs for D O'Meara; struggled on recent stable debut but the drop back to 1m4f was against him and he now takes a big step back up in trip; has claims if he can recapture his spark and he's not ruled out; visor the headgear of choice today. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop who lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to form last Monday (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) when a clearcut winner on his debut for this yard; William Pearman rides again with a penalty to carry. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland earlier in the year and, although potentially well treated if the change of scenery has helped, he's hard to recommend this time. |

11st 11lb |
Well-beaten when back over hurdles last month but stayed on well from poor position to go close under Natasha Cookson at Kelso (2m5f, good) ten days ago and looks well worth a crack at 3m. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground. |
