25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously. |
6/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf. |

Went down by only a neck over C&D off 1lb higher in January but his two efforts since have been no more than respectable. |

2nd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran whose losing run stretches back to March 2022; well beaten in two starts this winter and not sure he's in the form required to capitalise on his lowly mark; strong pace would help matters. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped but hasn't obviously hinted as if likely to take advantage soon in his two outings this year, finishing last of six at Southwell last Saturday; visored first time. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All six wins over 5f; also second over 5f here (good) in August of 2024 but hasn't been seen since a poor run at Beverley later that month; previously trained by his owner; can only really watch after such a long time off. |
25/1 |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; this reliable C&D winner ought to be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but retains plenty of ability; second at Thirsk on three occasions, two this year; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

22nd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Much better on AW than turf; recent PB when going down by a neck at Southwell in September but didn't run his race back on an artificial surface at Kempton a fortnight ago; has just second run here. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut for this yard at Newmarket last July (5f, good to firm) and he is now 3lb lower; patchy record since but he can go well fresh and he has a good C&D run on his record. |
20/1 |
|

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; made a winning stable debut at Newmarket (5f) in July off 2lb higher; fair third at Chelmsford two weeks ago (6f) but more will be needed to come out on top this time. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however. |
5/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
20th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

bumped start, midfield, switched right and some headway 2f out, weakened from 1f out |
10/1 |

12th 10 (3) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Unplaced in this race in 2021 and 2023 and short of his best when last seen on AW in February; his last three wins have come in the same 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and that race looks a better fit than today's. |
