31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Fifth career win when beating seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) and she got behind before staying on in Vantheman's race at Hamilton; drawn on the wing but has a big run in her. |
8/1 |

4th 14 (15) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Won four times early last summer, including over C&D, and climbed 19lb up the weights; made it three wins and a second in four starts under Lauren Young when turning in a career-best effort to score at Musselburgh last time out and may well be up to defying a 3lb rise. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |

Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had excuses for her Hamilton performance 11 days ago (anticipated the start and hit the gate) having previously made a promising reappearance when third of nine over this C&D (good to firm); 1lb below her last winning mark and very much of interest back in a 0-55. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Respectable third to Beerwah at Redcar on seasonal debut; back on last winning mark and has form over C&D, notably a 2024 success; difficult to dismiss. |

9st 11lb |
Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner who went close at Newcastle (5f, AW) last September and races off 7lb lower today; however, last season ended tamely and this 9yo finished down the field on last month's reappearance. |
7/1 |
|
12th 9 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |
12/1 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner last July (good) and also won at Musselburgh last August; form tailed off towards the end of the season and now back on his last winning mark; lacks a recent run. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Ayr in July and Musselburgh in August; lesser effort followed but it was a step back in the right direction when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (also 5f, good; Brazilian Belle third) on Monday. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins for Craig Lidster and he's run well here before but it's been a struggle for this yard and he can't be recommended at present. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won twice over 5f/6f for Craig Lidster in 2023, but not shown much in three starts for this yard since returning from 18 months off in March; something to prove. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Winless in 12 starts and it was an uphill grind in handicaps last year; wore aids on last two starts but not today; one to watch on return from break. |
