26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Drawn wide back up to 6f last time and that run is best overlooked; previously in good form over C&D, winning at a short price late last month in 0-55 company, but this race is stronger and he's 6lb higher. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded his eighth AW win when coming from last to first at Southwell (5f) last week; 5lb higher under a penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |
14/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

All six wins have come over 5f including two here; has only managed to win one of his last 30 starts and needs to find something extra in the returning visor. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

All wins have been over 5f and was well held when seventh of ten over C&D (good to firm; 22-1) eight days ago; others preferred. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

8th 6 (12) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
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. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time C&D winner, including twice around this time last year, who's on the downgrade now; is handicapped accordingly but has had a good few chances in similar company of late. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be winning races off his reduced mark and the return to 6f looks a good move judged on recent efforts; four of his 12 wins have come over C&D; high on the list. |

18th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Market springer here last week but he dropped away over 1f out (behind three of today's rivals); headgear back on today but others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
12th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

One of his two wins came over C&D but that was 23 months ago; not beaten far on a couple of occasions in January but likely vulnerable for win purposes again. |
16/1 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
2nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Not beaten far into fourth in this grade on his last two starts; rider's claim is useful today and the return of cheekpieces might help too; poor strike-rate but likely to go well again. |

Successful at Wolverhampton off this mark in March (5f); promising return from seven months off when third to Masterclass at Chelmsford last month and he may prove better suited by today's trip than his old rival. |
