2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Did best of those in the stands' side group at York (6f, good to firm) in July and then kept on for third of nine at Southwell (6f, AW) 27 days ago despite not getting the best of passages; now down to a career-low mark and this dual C&D winner should appreciate stepping back up in trip. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run. |

Has not matched this year's AW form since returned to turf; should be well treated now but not sure stall 22 will be an advantage. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |

11th 4 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |
|
19th 16 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

4th 7 (2) |
5th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
She was having just her second attempt over this trip when winning a C&D handicap last month, poaching enough of a lead in the final furlong to hold off the fast-finishing second; she'll need more to defy a small weights rise in a better race but that's not out of the question given her 2022 best. |
3/1 |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Got right back on track when second of ten in 7f handicap here in October; this course winner figures on a handy mark, so rates a big player off the same mark. |

12yo who was disappointing here (1m) last Tuesday but did too much too soon in that amateurs' race; had previously been running consistently well (including over C&D) and he may well bounce back with a bold bid. |

9st 9lb |
Won a 7f novice at Redcar in November 2021 (sixth start) but beaten 15 times since; returns for a new yard over a significantly longer trip and he's hardly a solid option after 398 days off; he is at least down in grade. |

Beaten 15 times since winning at Redcar (7f, soft) on her second start as a 2yo and finished 10l behind She's Got Bottle at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago; look elsewhere. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Almost two years since he won and is knocking on now but he remains pretty consistent for his age; has won a couple of times round here and, while he'll need luck if dropped in as usual from a wide stall, he remains capable back in headgear. |
7/1 |

7th 6 (10) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and hasn't won for a while but chased home Reel Power in C&D classified race in July and was close second to He's Our Star in that grade over 7f here last month; probably won't be far away. |

Made all for clearcut C&D win off 1lb lower in October and did well to finish fourth at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, given he was slowly away and encountered traffic in the straight; could be very hard to catch if he breaks on terms from stall 1 today. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix. |
13/2 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Tough, consistent sort; hasn't won on turf for more than three years but plenty of decent placed runs this term, including when second over 1m here in May (good to firm) and when close third over 6f at Hamilton in June (good to soft); yet to win over 1m. |

26th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, ridden prominently for those successes, and now 8lb lower than for the latest of them; not hit top gear in three runs for this yard and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend; still needs a market check with blinkers tried for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over C&D in 2022; promising start for new yard after Christmas but he ran no race at Southwell (mixed record there but does handle the surface) ten days ago and now has the hood discarded; on a good mark at present and may well return to form back here. |
8/1 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer whose three career wins have come over 6f at Wolverhampton (when trained by Ivan Furtado); shaped nicely under his optimum conditions on stable debut ten days ago but he has a bit more to prove at this venue; one to keep an eye on in the betting. |
5/1 |
