11th 11 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose 12 wins include a Group 3 at York (7f, good) last June; he was an excellent third of 19 in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October; has since run up to his best in a 5f AW race at Newcastle in January and it will be interesting to see how he gets on back at this trip on turf with his regular hood discarded; ran creditably in 6f Group 3 at Newmarket last time. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful front-runner whose strike-rate is 12-32; bagged Group 3 honours at York (7f) last June and a valuable pot at Doha (6f) most recently; unbeaten (4-4) in 6f contests on the Newmarket courses and has shown that he can win in sizeable fields; likely to make a bold bid back here. |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year, two of them over C&D, and she has run some good races in defeat in 2025, including C&D; saw no daylight when a close fifth here 13 days ago and that was a Class 4; good chance back into Class 6. |
11/4 |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Dual 6f course winner; runner-up here (6f, good) and at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month but below her best when favourite and only sixth of eight at this track (7f, good to firm; Dark Side Thunder third) 15 days ago; possibilities if that can be forgiven. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Goes well here and has twice won over C&D; 2lb lower than his last winning mark and although two of his last three starts have been below par, they were at Chelmsford; likely contender back here. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner over 6f, most recently at Kempton in October off today's mark; unfortunate not to finish closer there ten days ago but this drop back in trip may not prove ideal. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice over C&D last year and back off the same mark as for the latest in October; respected, especially if getting a solid pace to aim at. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No problem with conditions and he ran his best race back from a short break when fourth of ten at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); more appealing than many off a dangerous mark. |

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark. |

9st 6lb |
Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last season; yet to strike this year but he went close at Ffos Las (5f, good to soft) last week and runs off the same mark today; Oisin Murphy booked; other pace influences to contend with. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3lb lower than his last win at Yarmouth in June 2023; he tends to lead but has weakened out of contention on his last three starts; drops to 5f for the first time and with his style of running it may suit. |

Peak effort when neck second in C&D classified race four starts ago; may benefit from the return to this venue but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-20. |

9th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's been running well in headgear this year, latterly over C&D last Thursday (allowed to set a steady pace); needs to find more from somewhere if he's to make it 20th time lucky. |

Maiden; ran well in first-time visor at Southwell on penultimate run but failed to reproduce that last time; however, could get run of race back in trip from low draw and not out of this. |
