28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner on Tapeta elsewhere; placed three times from six starts over this sort of trip on Tapeta and could make the frame from just 2lb above his last winning mark. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (12.4f, good) in July and respectable efforts in next two runs but his form nosedived at Hamilton last month; has something to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back; stablemate of Elemental Eye. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |

6th 5 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

Two wins last season, the second over C&D last August off this mark; runner-up on his last three starts, beaten 1.25l by a previous winner over C&D last time; contender. |

Runner-up twice at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month, losing out only by a neck when clear of third on latter occasion; back in action before 3lb rise takes effect and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago; good chance. |

2nd 5 (8) |

Record of 2-37 and both wins came over 1m1f (good) last August; has mixed record this season but he had a close call at Pontefract (1m2f) last month and was runner-up behind a big improver over C&D last Monday; on the same mark here and he's respected. |

Six wins last season included one over C&D; went close at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June and Ayr (1m, good) last month, before landing a 0-80 at York (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; steps back up in grade but can't be discounted. |

Consistent type who won six times last season and arrives on the back of two close seconds; this race looks deeper than his last two but he's in fine form and unlikely to be far away. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Has form over a variety of distances, so stepping back up from 1m seems unlikely to be an issue; however, he's one of several longstanding maidens in the field. |

10st 10lb |
Won three times last season (2m1f-2m4f), most recently at Carlisle on good to soft ground in March; although only sixth off this mark over 2m4f last month he was not beaten far and remains one to consider. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

9th 2 (9) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and she has maintained her progress in 2026, winning four times over 1m1f on good ground; not at her best last time but foolish to think she won't continue progressing; unraced on faster than good. |

Four wins this year include a C&D success (Hostility second, Jewel Maker fourth) in May and when again making all to beat five others at Musselburgh (1m1f, also good) 12 days ago; creeping up the weights but she's gone back-to-back before and needs respecting. |
