16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in minor 5f events last summer (AW and good to soft); also ran well when second to Crocus Time over C&D last August; recent return to action at Redcar may have been needed but there wasn't enough encouragement to earn him the vote this time. |

5f wins on AW/turf in August/September last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, his campaign concluded with two disappointing runs and he needs to get back on track on this reappearance outing. |

Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |

Three-time turf winner who went close at Newcastle (5f, AW) last September and races off 7lb lower today; however, last season ended tamely and this 9yo finished down the field on last month's reappearance. |

Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

C&D winner; big player on her 2025 best and she was successful over C&D on her last foray into 0-50 company; absent 80 days but has run well after similar breaks in the past; withdrawn having got upset in the stalls on last intended outing. |

Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in January and a handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in July; only beaten just over a length off this mark back here the last twice, but she may struggle to confirm latest running with Bibendum; cheekpieces given a go. |

Her 18 races have yielded just one win but that came over C&D (good to firm) last August; close third of 14 at Doncaster last Friday (5f, good to firm; one place behind Beerwah) and she may again be firmly involved. |

Three front-running C&D wins between last May and January; below best on last two starts but he might just have needed the recent sharpener following a break and can't be passed over too lightly. |

Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |

Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
