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. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Course winner who was fourth of 13 in this last year and was a close second at Catterick last month; however, this inconsistent 9yo has been soundly beaten on his last two starts and has to leave those runs behind. |

Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

Scored off today's mark over 5f on Tapeta in November and is also suited by fast turf but returned from four-month break with disappointing 6f run 19 days ago and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

9st 9lb |
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over C&D on her last foray into 0-50 company; absent 80 days but has run well after similar breaks in the past; withdrawn having got upset in the stalls on last intended outing.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. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win from 20 starts was in a classified at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; finished down the field there in last two runs but she had some close calls in April including in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's versatile ground-wise. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
