7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |
16/1 |

2nd 10 (5) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

9st 7lb |
C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

8/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, the latest over this trip last October off a 4lb lower mark; good second two weeks ago and this veteran can make another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He was ending a losing run when scrambling home in a C&D handicap last October; finished lame when down the field here one month later; others are more appealing. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

9yo who looked as good as ever when making all with something to spare at Sandown (1m, good) in May on his sole run this season; however, he's never defied a mark this high and may be vulnerable in this hot contest. |

27th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dual Kempton winner as a 2yo who's been expensive to follow in handicaps, getting turned over at 3-1 or shorter on six occasions; pulled hard in the visor back from a short break over C&D last week (third form of headgear tried). |
5/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Three placed efforts in cheepieces/blinkers over 6f and 7f this winter; ran poorly at Lingfield eight weeks ago (headgear left off); drops back in class and with a visor enlisted; not ruled out. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |
33/1 |
|
20th 12 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

4th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Prominent racer who made all in a 7f handicap at Sandown in September; well beaten in a Listed race at Redcar four weeks ago and yet to shine in three AW starts. |
9/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who got loose on the lead and just managed to hold on in a 7f handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago; likely to try something similar here and he did win this race two years ago (unplaced last year). |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
15th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who is 3lb below the mark he last defied in July of last year; not looking the horse he was, but this year has hardly been a washout and he could win again sooner or later. |
4/1 |
