18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging seasonal debut in higher-grade contest at Thirsk (6f good; visored) in April; not in same form on either start since (blinkers refitted last time) but has slipped to a tempting mark. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two-time C&D winner; unplaced but ran with credit in two Thirsk handicaps last month; type to pop up soon off a reduced mark. |

His three turf wins have come over C&D and he made a pleasing seasonal return when fifth of 15 here (Stirrup Cup second) eight days ago; one for the shortlist. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last July when 6lb higher; a market check is advised but she's struggled so far this season. |

11th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

Broke duck over 7f at Catterick (good to firm) last July but nothing comparable since and has finished last in her two runs this year. |

Won a 7f handicap at Catterick off this mark last July but it has been downhill ever since; plenty to prove. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was retried in cheekpieces when beating just one in 5f Newcastle handicap in February last time; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth (beaten 1l+) to Azucena over C&D on penultimate start, and wasn't far off the principals when fifth to Digital (Shatin Venture second, Azucena fourth) here nine days ago; possible she's able to take advantage of joint career-low mark. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (10) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handicap mark has tumbled for this yard and there have been more positive signs on her last two starts; better off with the three runners who beat her over C&D last month and not ruled out. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Trip and track no issue and he arrives on the back of a hard-fought win at Redcar two weeks ago (6f, good); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Modest strike-rate since 2022 and his form thus far this term hasn't continued the broad consistency he showed in 2025; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Conditions shouldn't be an excuse and he didn't run badly at Bath (5f, good) three weeks ago after a short break; Tom Marquand a notable booking; each-way shout. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins at 5f and 6f, the latest off this mark in September; big prices and well held in four sprints here for new yard and, although this is a drop in grade, he may be best left until back on grass. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three turf wins but 0-9 on AW and he's been well held here (5f/6f) in all three runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but this is competitive and others are more convincing; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |
4/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made good progress last season, collecting three 6f wins along the way; just a respectable third of seven when back on turf last month, after a break, but might come on for the run and remains on a good mark. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since a defeat 100 days ago that took his AW record to 0-5; three-time turf winner and ran well at Leicester on most recent attempt in this sphere; returns to a favourable scenario. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Only a length away over C&D on his return from 222 days away but no certainty to follow one good run with another, and he finds winning difficult (1-31). |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting on for three years since his sole success (6f, good to firm); thrown in on last year's best form and he has run well fresh in the past; not discounted now dropping into a 0-55. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Veteran who arrives with form-figures of 78800; however, he has had excuses for several of those defeats and now runs off a career-low mark, so he's not entirely without hope. |
16/1 |
