18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner who is well handicapped on last season's form and is one to watch in the betting; however, he finished down the field on his three starts this spring and needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |
13/2 |
|
11th 6 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
String of good runs in 2025, winning three times with the last of them coming in the Ayr Bronze Cup 248 days ago (6f, soft); 4lb higher mark to contend with and may come on for this return to action. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
8th 9 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

In good form on turf in the spring but 0-12 and hasn't matched that in five starts since, including when never travelling back on AW latest. |

4 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on turf in the spring but he's 0-11 and hasn't matched that in four starts since, latterly in cheekpieces when well held at Beverley last time; handicapper's relenting, though. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Now only 1lb higher than for emphatic AW win in November but needs to up her game after three underwhelming turf runs this spring. |

8th 1 (13) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

AW winner for current stable but her form has dipped in two starts since returned to turf, despite being previously effective in this sphere; bit to prove at present. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won first two starts last summer (6f) but, although not added to tally since, shaped with more encouragement over 5f at Redcar last time; down a further 2lb and should be suited by the extra yardage; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
7 (5) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 6f juvenile scorer but her more recent form is much less encouraging, tried visored when last of seven at Ripon (6f) 34 days ago; others are preferred. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Retains ability aged eight; made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) last time, building on his reappearance effort and registering an eighth success; has never gained back-to-back wins, though. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Nottingham (5f, good; 3-1 favourite; from 2lb lower) last August, posting his seventh win; disappointing on soft at Pontefract next time, and curled up late when last in action at Southwell (5f; fourth) 217 days ago; positively drawn for one who likes to attack. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |
20/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |
10/1 |
