Just 1lb higher than when winning at Brighton (5f, soft) last September but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight at Wolverhampton in December; has bit to prove after that and this is competitive on her return. |

9st 2lb |
Usually leads or races prominently; two sprint wins in 2025, the latest over 6f at Thirsk (good to firm; when 3lb higher) last May, but he was quiet towards the end of the campaign and has been off since August; perhaps other days. |

Two wins this year, the latest when making all over 6f at Thirsk in May; there have been some excuses since then and his record at this track means he can't be ignored. |

Still below a winning mark despite two successes since March (5f on Tapeta and 6f on fast turf), but yet to oblige on genuinely slow turf and a record of 85577 around here doesn't set the pulse racing. |

9st 0lb |
Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip. |

All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Beaten about 2l when sixth of 16 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month but he's been below his best in two starts since (6f/7f); without a win since November 2023 and now steps back up to 1m for the first time in over three years; best watched. |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

Caused a surprise with a 40-1 win in big-field handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last summer; only 1lb higher than for that success but she's taken three backward steps since and her last run was in September; others are more convincing. |

Three course runs have yielded a win and two second-place finishes; they came over 7f but she is not short of pace and today's drop in trip could suit; went off too fast on last week's Musselburgh return but she should be sharper here and she's high on the list. |
