8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who has been a prolific winner down the years, including at Carlisle; not solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may have positive effect; successful in last Class 5 attempt. |
11/1 |

6th 10 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |

12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has nine wins, including one over 6f here in January; best effort since when fourth of eight at Leicester (7f) when last seen in August; fairly treated if fully primed after a short break. |
8/1 |
|
3 (6) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has nine wins, including two over C&D; hasn't shown much on his last three starts, over 6f; cheekpieces worn last time are left off and return to 7f in his favour so not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two of his five turf wins have come at this track, albeit over 7f; successful off today's mark (and for this rider) at Southwell in January; struggled in two runs back from a three-month break in the spring but grounds for expecting better today. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |
14/1 |

10th 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |

9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Paid dearly for his 5l success at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) in June; edging back down the weights now and not beaten far when sixth of 12 in a first-time tongue-tie at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last time, but still more needed; stable also runs Golden Melody. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Two-time C&D winner and has also run with distinction in defeat here on numerous occasions; retains plenty of ability despite his advancing years but he would be better suited by slower conditions. |
9/1 |
|

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of C&D form in big fields, notably wins on good to soft in July of 2023 and 2025; behind Leadman when fifth at the Dante meeting last month but well in front of David O'Meara's charge and looked a bit unlucky (met trouble) when third of 22 back here three weeks ago; solid. |
6/1 |

3rd 10 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of C&D form in big fields, notably wins on good to soft in 2023 and July 2025; while not so striking as Leadman, he didn't have the best of runs when fifth of 22 over C&D eight days ago, so might step up a bit today. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who ran well below market expectations in two previous starts on Tapeta; back on his last successful mark but didn't build on a decent comeback effort last time. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Resumed from four months off with a good third of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
