13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |

Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Had been enjoying a consistent season prior to a poor one at York in August, when said to have run flat; the break could have helped but he's 9lb higher than when winning at Haydock, so will need a career best on just his second AW start. |
8/1 |

12th 2 (10) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Going great guns this term, including with his Old Newton Cup win at Haydock (1m4f, good to firm) and going oh so close in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot 13 days ago; up another 5lb but it's hard to keep him out of the picture, bidding to end Paul Hanagan's superb riding career on a winning note. |

Reserve; below form at this meeting last year; going great guns this season with three places prior to his win from Scampi in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock (1m4f, good to firm; probably okay on good to soft) five weeks ago; up another 5lb but needs plenty of respect. |

Progressed into useful handicapper on turf for Charlie Fellowes in 2023, winning three times from the front (1m4f/1m2f) in cheekpieces that summer; well-beaten outsider on all three starts for new yard in 2024, however, and has not been seen since last July; cheekpieces are removed. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

Progressed into useful handicapper on turf for Charlie Fellowes, winning three times from the front (1m4f/1m2f) in cheekpieces in summer 2023; towards the rear on all three starts for new yard last term, in this race on second occasion, so has big questions to answer after 342 days off. |

Progressed into useful handicapper on turf for Charlie Fellowes, winning three times from the front (1m4f/1m2f) in cheekpieces last summer; sold for 150,000gns in October; may have had excuses for both runs since (AW and Royal Ascot) and had wind surgery in between, but others are preferred. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

4th 6 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run now up to 14, but his last couple of efforts have been encouraging as when second of six in a slightly stronger contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; still on his last winning mark and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Drew a blank in 2025 but he ended that campaign with a good second in a big-field 10.2f handicap at York; two respectable AW runs this year but he will need to raise his game to take this. |

9st 12lb |
His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that. |

3rd 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

Won in France in 2020 and scored over C&D in 2022 but has developed a rocky profile and was in poor form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; has joined Martin Keighley (same owners) but watching brief advised on this comeback in a tongue-tie. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Switch to the Flat last year worked out well when he was second in this race on Flat handicap debut and won at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, again on good to firm; 5lb higher today) next time; well held on both starts this year but latest was nevertheless a step back in the right direction; not dismissed. |

17th May 2023 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Switching to the Flat last year worked out very well, notably when winning at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f) but he also ran well in two 1m4f handicaps; however, well beaten on reappearance despite starting second favourite. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |

Talented hurdler who tackled the Flat last year and won a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to firm); close third there last October (1m4f, good to soft) when last seen and can be in the mix if at the top of his game. |

On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today. |

Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D. |

Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |
