7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-11 over hurdles and absent since weakening fifth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; current mark is workable but others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up on latest hurdling start in February but the form of his Market Rasen second (2m, good to soft) a fortnight earlier worked out well, and he was placed twice on the Flat last month; a possible. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Mostly in good form since the blinkers went on last autumn and ran a solid race in defeat at Catterick last time (2m, good); the reopposing runner-up Cosmic Soul nearly went one better last weekend. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
In good form until a below-par sixth of eight in 1m7f handicap at Ayr 20 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |
15/2 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but had a solid AW campaign before staying on for close third in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) on turf return in April; should be fine over today's longer trip; can make her presence felt. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the best of win records (1-26 but 0-10 on turf); only win was over 1m2f on AW back in 2023; sound third at Pontefract with first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance last month (1m4f, good to soft); stays 1m6f but below her best three previous tries at 2m. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Had the run of things up front when beating four rivals at Beverley (1m4f, good) and only sixth since then over 2m and 1m6f; this is probably a better trip but he's not the easiest to predict. |
20/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Allowed to dictate when winning a five-runner race at Beverley (1m4f) in May; ran respectably over 1m6f the time before but weakened out of it off this 4lb higher mark over 2m on latest; back to 1m6f but others are a little more persuasive. |
16/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No problem with 1m4f but is still to totally prove his stamina over this far; was allowed to dictate when beating a small field last time and a 4lb rise puts him on a career-high mark. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
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. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
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. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
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. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb. |
100/30 |

1st 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |
14/1 |
