4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m; arrives in reasonable form and has placed on two of his three C&D visits; might be the one to follow Laravie home. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m, his two AW successes coming on Tapeta; 4lb higher than the most recent of those and has each-way claims. |

5th 12 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Switched to front-running this year, including with Tapeta wins over 1m4f here in March and 2m at Southwell in April when last seen; that's career-best AW form but this race is a much higher grade and should be much harder to boss. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

6th 14 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
0-11 on the Flat and has been contesting low-grade handicaps at about 2m; unlikely to be winning this on hurdle debut. |
100/1 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs last autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but his form then dipped and he's returning from a lengthy break; remains a maiden. |
25/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden; started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs in the autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but form has dipped recently and he's out of the weights in this higher-grade race; needs help from the new cheeekpieces. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine wins on the AW including two over C&D (course record reads 22111544); would have finished closer with a clear run when fifth of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) 15 days ago and very much of interest back here. |
5/2 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two AW wins to his haul this winter; rated 7lb lower on turf but with some justification given his record on grass, including a heavy C&D defeat in April; not solid. |
10/1 |
