Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |

This veteran was enterprisingly ridden when back up in trip to contest other division to three of these in C&D classified 12 days ago and he did well to stick on for second once the favourite had swept past; opposable back in handicap company. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

16-race maiden but he ran well in a first-time hood when a staying-on fourth in classified event at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; was only beaten 2l in that race and has each-way claims if he can find some extra spark. |

10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Modest maiden who wore blinkers here (7f) the last twice, running well on first occasion; chance of first success largely depends on how well he responds to headgear switch (now goes in hood). |

2-2 at Musselburgh, the wins gained over 7f/1m in April 2021; now a 9yo and looks far from solid on 2023 form (mostly AW) but the return to this venue gives cause for optimism. |

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) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

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. |

Perfectly consistent whatever the distance and surface type but 0-15 overall, and no obvious excuses behind both Prince Achille and Jamih when about 3l sixth in a C&D 0-55 last week; minor honours again at best. |

Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player. |

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player. |

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected. |

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number. |
