28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Has won three 6f events on AW since August, one here; last run at Pontefract forgiven as he was drawn wide but he was also below par here the time before when behind Mount Ruapehu. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Prominent racer who has won three 6f events on AW since August; not at his best at Southwell last month and he has a wide stall to overcome returned to 5f. |

Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished down the field on Tapeta in his last two starts but he won a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; has possibilities if he can recapture that form but this looks tough from a low draw and he's raced almost exclusively on AW since last January. |

Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible. |
100/30 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company. |

14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |

3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |

9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |

9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |
6/1 |

3rd 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

3rd 6 (3) |

Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

Won in this grade on turf in summer 2024 but is 0-26 on AW; made the frame twice off her basement handicap over C&D in the autumn and didn't run badly when seventh in this grade here last month but others look stronger. |

Her 22 starts have yielded just one win but she was a close second of 18 at 25-1 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and backed that up when runner-up to at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, albeit no match for the thriving winner; firmly in calculations given recent showings. |

Returned to form with 25-1 second of 18 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last week; she can't be dismissed today but she's very inconsistent and has won just one of her 21 races, while the return to 7f also poses a question. |
