18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times last year (all 1m), including when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth on first start for Michael Wigham; mixed fortunes lately and has work to do with Coloane from Pontefract in July, so it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |

Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, who's generally struggled this time; is among the lowest rated and could have done with some rain ideally. |

Good second over 8.5f here in July (soft) but rather disappointing since, including when only sixth back at 1m at Carlisle last week; others preferred. |

6th 7 (2) |
31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who finished second on two of his five starts for Rebecca Menzies, more recently at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last month; found 1m2f on heavy ground too taxing on latest outing but didn't run badly; a possible. |
7/2 |

5th 4 (8) |
24th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Unlikely that he gave his running when tried over 1m2f two runs back but solid efforts otherwise this season and bumped into an improver over shorter at Hamilton (soft); just 2lb higher and should go well. |

Dual C&D winner (from marks in the mid 50s); started off the turf season reasonably well - placed on three occasions - but hasn't been quite so sharp in more recent times, including when finishing sixth of 11 (behind Elettaria) in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley last time. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the 25th attempt when making all over C&D (classified event) in August but he was disappointing back in a handicap here last month; bit to prove again after that and he's had no luck with the draw. |

14th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Quirky sort who has sometimes snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this season, partly through idling in front; has the ability to record a fourth C&D win, provided new headgear works a treat. |
11/4 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has three C&D wins to his name, including this race in 2023; retains ability but threw away a golden opportunity at Leicester last month and a subsequent Newcastle run was below his recent best too; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late. |

9st 4lb |
1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |
14/1 |

9th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |

Retains vitality aged nine, having won over 7f in May; ran respectably over 8.5f last time; versatile sort who has scored twice over 9.5f on AW and has a good strike-rate at classified level; respected. |

3rd 4 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A repeat of the form of either May's Doncaster 7f win (good to soft) or last September's second over today's C&D (soft) would see him go close; over four years now since his sole win on fast turf, however. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Finished strongly to resume winning ways over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) in May; hasn't operated at the same level since, but overall strike rate (10-80) is admirable for the level; forecast ground perhaps faster than ideal. |

Ten-time AW winner (seven times over C&D); not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but went very close in similar race to this over C&D last month and rebounded from a lesser effort when third here three weeks ago. |

3rd 8 (8) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Multiple C&D winner who went desperately close in a classified event here 17 days ago; less good at Southwell last week and a bit more on his plate back in a handicap; not ruled out though. |

7th 6 (1) |
21st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Has won over C&D but he tends to reserve his best for the extended 1m at Wolverhampton, as when collared in the final stride two weeks ago; no certainty to be in the same form this time. |

No wins from 21 starts but has shown enough this winter to suggest she should give a good account, despite stall 10 draw, if below-par run last time can be overlooked. |
