2nd 11 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Scored six times, mostly at Ayr, last season; beaten only a neck, despite being out 4lb of the weights, at Musselburgh five days ago; holds a fighting chance, back off proper mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins in 2025 over a range of trips (7f-1m2f) and ground; encouraging reappearance over C&D but not so good since and doubtful whether today will be the day from out of the weights. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won four times here (7f-1m, good to firm-heavy) last year and showed career-best form when second in valuable Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on seasonal debut in April; two lesser efforts have followed (1m-1m4f) but he still enters calculations. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins this season, the latest over C&D (good) in July; versatile regarding ground but recent efforts suggest she's on a fairly tough mark now. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on soft ground and he's now 8lb lower than when runner-up at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; however, he's finished no better than seventh across his five outings since. |
12/1 |
|
6 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Respectable second at Leicester in June but far from consistent otherwise this year and losing spell goes back to spring 2024; not particularly solid. |
16/1 |
|
12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner who was beaten just 1l when second at Leicester in June and is now 6lb lower; however, soundly beaten on his three runs since (C&D last time) and the first-time visor needs to prompt a revival. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year; promising third at Ayr last month but she hasn't built on it in two subsequent outings; sneaking down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell (Karl Burke/Iain Jardine); has dropped a long way in the weights and took second on his stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip with solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell for Karl Burke then Iain Jardine; has dropped to a fair mark after some disappointing runs recently and now makes debut for new yard after changing hands for 7,000gns in April; not sure 6f on turf is ideal. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins over C&D, the latest off 11lb higher in February last year; recent efforts don't suggest he is about to take advantage, though. |
