9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who is 3-3 since being gelded (maiden previously), most recently winning with something to spare at Lingfield (1m) in the trial for this race; on a roll and holds strong claims. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
He has looked an improved performer since returning to action (gelded during his absence) this year, following an easy 8.6f maiden win at Wolverhampton with a front-running success in a handicap over the same C&D 17 days later; 6lb rise asks more of him but he could be up to the task. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who is familiar with stronger handicaps than this and he was beaten under 3l in a big field last time at Newbury (7f); won his last race at this level in May, over 1m and off the very same mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 10 (13) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
On a long losing run but a useful AW performer at his best; off 7 months before coming in only 11th in 1m1f York handicap on his return last month but this C&D winner bounce back. |
5/1 |

11th 4 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart handicapper at his peak but his form tailed off in the second half of 2025; has a reduced mark to work with as a result but the betting is perhaps the best guide after 198 days off. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on the AW includes 2-5 record over this C&D; however, he's run only three times since finishing close up here last September and looks one to watch after a remote finish here last month. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in June but reportedly unsuited by the going when disappointing there two months ago; 0-12 on turf compared to 5-13 on the AW and makes some appeal back on this surface. |
9/1 |

5th 3 (6) |

9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who struck at Thirsk (1m, good) last month; now 1lb below that winning mark but that's because three lesser runs have followed; no surprise were he to pop up but his good days are becoming harder to predict. |
25/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner who struck at Thirsk (1m, good) last month and is just 1lb higher today; however, this 7yo has had a patchy profile this season and has finished unplaced on his last two starts. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

Successful in handicap/claimer on turf this term; placed at Chester the last twice; can't be totally dismissed in current form but hasn't scored on AW since early 2024. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple AW winner but only 1-25 on turf; ran a solid race last time at Southwell (1m) but likely placed at best here. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five AW wins include a C&D success in January off a 7lb higher mark than today's; could have done with a stronger gallop when fifth of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and was reported to have lost a shoe when down the field at Chepstow three weeks ago (only 1-25 on turf); could bounce back returned to this surface. |
5/1 |

10th 2 (16) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |

Campaigned mostly on AW, reaching a fairly useful standard; posted good efforts in November/January but form dipped last month; something to prove off current mark in this warm event back on turf. |
33/1 |

9th 9 (9) |
28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
C&D win last April; runner-up in handicaps at around this trip at Southwell and Wolverhampton this winter but his form dipped back at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); cheekpieces now added. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't finished out of the first three in five AW starts, on the latest collared only in the final strides by the reopposing Smart Hero over 8.6f here; this low-mileage 4yo is likely to give another good account. |
