29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Readily landed a division of this race last year and sole win since came in C&D classified contest 34 days ago; should go well, for all that he might be vulnerable to younger legs. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner who has finished third in classified events on three of his four starts this year; first-time blinkers won't need to give him too much extra. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Six wins last September-December (including C&D) and she's gone very close to adding to that tally on her last two outings, beaten just a neck over C&D (good) last Saturday despite being badly hampered; lots to like. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Enjoyed a remarkable 2025 when a six-time winner, including over C&D; below par this season until third of seven in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 11 days ago but very much one to consider off a reduced mark now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Form of her yard is a positive but she hasn't shown much of late and a revival is more likely to come on AW. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden (0-11 on the Flat) who failed to threaten over hurdles last time; however, she ran okay in that code two starts ago and was runner-up on the Flat in February (1m6f, AW); not ruled out each-way in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces). |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Two runs here feature a defeat of Top Gun Tina over C&D (good to soft) last May and a fourth in a division of this race last year; return to this venue will need to prompt a revival after some moderate efforts, however. |

9th 10 (10) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Carlisle (1m) last May but her more recent form is much less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; this C&D scorer needs to take a major step forward. |

11th 9 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Creditable third at Southwell in January (1m) but not so good since; seems to stay 1m2f and wouldn't rule out. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
22-race ex-French maiden; might have needed her first start since February when down the field at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month but that will need plenty of building on. |
25/1 |

5th 9 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Exposed 21-race maiden; ran one of her better races when fourth at Wolverhampton in February when last seen but still easy enough to swerve. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

4yo maiden; some fair efforts last term, including here, but this season's campaign has been a write off and wind surgery will need to have worked wonders. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

4yo maiden; record of 442 at classified level includes a respectable fourth in this race last year; needs to bounce back from a dismal reappearance effort. |
