27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid. |

Veteran C&D scorer who slipped in the weights in the second half of last year and arrives in fine form; runner-up in 14-runner event here last month; merits serious consideration. |

18-race maiden who has been well held in five runs at 1m4f-2m this year; mark has bottomed out now and he needs a transformation on this big drop back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace a visor. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (1) |

Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

|
2nd 3 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored off this mark at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last October; kept on well on his last two starts at Beverley over 8.5f suggesting that a step back up in trip may be beneficial. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive. |

9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |

Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Turned things around with a rallying win on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and he backed that up with a good second from wide draw at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); remains well handicapped on his best form and he's a key player on this drop back in trip. |

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
