1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

Both wins on the AW but looks a matter of time before he clicks on the grass as he's been bang there of late; hard to knock. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

Scored at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in January and has continued in good form, second of seven in 1m Pontefract handicap three weeks ago; he can make his presence felt once more. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2024 on the up and he resumed his progress after seven months off when (tongue tied) completing his hat-trick at Carlisle (7f) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but this likeable front runner is a big player from his low draw. |
11/4 |

2 (1) |
30th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on a variety of tracks; had a slow start to 2024 but he went out with a bang in the autumn, winning at Catterick (7f) and Redcar (1m; both on soft); back on a career-high mark, which shouldn't be beyond him, but there could be more to come this year; tongue-tie fitted. |

Scored at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in January and he got back on track when third of ten in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford 22 days ago; one for the shortlist. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in January and he turned in a respectable effort when third over that C&D on his penultimate run; not so good next time and he ran moderately in two previous starts here, while he also needs to prove this longer trip suits. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Went quiet on AW over the winter but she was invigorated by a five-month break, winning a 7.5f handicap at Chester (good) in fine style nine days ago; looks the pick of the older horses. |
3/1 |
|
5 (10) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 1m scorer for her current yard but she was well below par when last seen out either side of Christmas; she needs to bounce back after a break. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Beverley (8.5f, good) and Chester (1m, good to firm) in the spring, but hasn't run as well since, including at Chester on Friday (favourite but slowly away); has won on soft ground; not out of it. |
5/1 |

6 (1) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all (around 1m) at Beverley and Ayr in the spring but he went too freely when sixth of 13 in 1m Ripon handicap nine days ago; well drawn here so not discounted now reverted in trip. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win at Beverley (8.5f, good) in April and Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May but he raced too enthusiastically when back at Beverley 22 days ago and faded; holds claims if bouncing back; stablemate of Poet's Dawn. |

Looked on the up when scoring at Redcar (7f) in May and raced wide when tenth of 12 in 7.5f Chester handicap three weeks ago; can bounce back. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

In excellent form and she gained her first turf victory in 7f Redcar handicap 18 days ago; she's not taken lightly despite taking a 4lb weights rise here. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March and has made the frame the next twice (6f/7f, AW); hasn't shone on her two previous runs on turf but there have been excuses and she's entitled to respect. |

Behind some of these in his last two races here and at Chester but wasn't well drawn either time; he's the type to bounce back. |
10/1 |

8 (11) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (7f) in April but he beat only one in 7.5f Beverley handicap 16 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |

28th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner last summer and ran respectably back on grass at Catterick last time; return to this stiffer venue should suit and he's another to consider. |

Comes here at the top of his game, scoring at Chepstow (7f) in May and backing it up with a very good second of 12 there two weeks ago; drawn widest of all here but still can't be discounted. |
7/1 |

8st 9lb |
Took this 12 months ago and he teed himself up well for a repeat with an encouraging fifth in 8.5f Beverley handicap 20 days ago, not enjoying a clear run; he's very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |
12/1 |

Not much luck with one thing and another this year, latterly when finding 7.6f beyond her at Chester; shortlisted at this lower level now back sprinting under Rossa Ryan. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

Yet to hit top form this term and she was tried in blinkers when ninth of 11 in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 48 days ago; others are preferred. |
14/1 |

9th 5 (13) |
26th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Successful in a 6f handicap at Southwell in November but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; respectable efforts after slow starts in her two runs (C&D/turf) this spring but she's now 1-11 and needs to find more in first-time blinkers. |

Veteran has won 17 races, but seems to have lost his way and losing run up to 21; effectively 9lb wrong on his 168th start; look elsewhere. |
50/1 |

12 (9) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

On a long losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival in 6f Redcar handicap 17 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
