Upped to this trip for the first time when landing a C&D handicap 23 days ago; had a bit to spare on that occasion but this looks a much stronger race. |

Had cheekpieces on last two starts, on first occasion winning over C&D in February (3lb higher today); seventh of eight two months later but not beaten far; could have her say again. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Easy win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but not at that level in six runs since; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Put a poor run behind him when second at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago and will be suited by this move back up in trip but some of the younger ones appeal more all the same. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
7lb lower than when last successful here (1m4f) a year ago and has run some creditable races in the meantime, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in almost two years; others more solid. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

9th May 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner who has found it tough going since his Wolverhampton win (extended 1m1f) in December; connections now try different headgear. |

13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked as though he might be one to follow when off the mark at the 15th attempt over C&D in December, but hasn't really built on that performance despite running with some credit in two of his five starts since; edging back towards his winning mark, but others look more solid. |

16th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Added to her five C&D wins when scoring at Newcastle last month and she backed that up with a good second back here last Friday; on same mark on this drop back in grade and she should be in the thick of things again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Her first five wins came over C&D but she got back on the scoresheet over 1m2f at Newcastle two weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she battled well to justify support and is only 2lb higher on her return to this track; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (8) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 4lb |
Has run with credit on Tapeta at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but all five wins have come at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); is on a good mark, but losing run now up to 15 and enough to prove on first visit here. |

11st 0lb |
Sole Flat win in 30 attempts came this September in a 1m4f soft-ground handicap at Thirsk; that was a Class 6, however, and he's unlikely to be good enough. |

29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Belatedly off the mark with a wide-margin win at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) in the hands of William Pyle; ran a bit flat when only fourth at Hamilton after escaping a penalty and now he's 5lb higher; that Thirsk win might be dodgy form. |

Four wins for William Stone and the latest was off this mark over C&D last April; returned from 223 days off with a respectable effort on his stable debut at Wolverhampton last month and he's one to keep an eye on back at this track. |
