16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in minor 5f events last summer (AW and good to soft); also ran well when second to Crocus Time over C&D last August; recent return to action at Redcar may have been needed but there wasn't enough encouragement to earn him the vote this time. |

5f wins on AW/turf in August/September last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, his campaign concluded with two disappointing runs and he needs to get back on track on this reappearance outing. |

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and his last turf win was over two years ago; finished well when runner-up at Catterick (5f, good) in May but he's been quiet since and reared at the start when down the field at Ayr last time; others preferred. |

Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |

Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |

C&D winner; big player on her 2025 best and she was successful over C&D on her last foray into 0-50 company; absent 80 days but has run well after similar breaks in the past; withdrawn having got upset in the stalls on last intended outing. |

Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in January and a handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in July; only beaten just over a length off this mark back here the last twice, but she may struggle to confirm latest running with Bibendum; cheekpieces given a go. |

9st 5lb |
Bagged the favoured far rail to take a Redcar classified (5f; 3-1) for the second year in succession latest; hasn't had many opportunities on AW (0-3) and arrives in better form than most, but this is slightly tougher from her revised mark. |
4/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won this race a year ago and has made the frame in handicaps on her last four appearances; about 1l behind Gwen Tennyson at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday and 2lb worse off with her today but still likely to be in the shake-up. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |

9st 5lb |
All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break. |

5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Three front-running C&D wins between last May and January; below best on last two starts but he might just have needed the recent sharpener following a break and can't be passed over too lightly. |
3/1 |

10th 6 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
