7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive gelding who become inconsistent; punctuated a string of ordinary efforts with a near-miss in a small field over C&D in June (first-time blinkers) but well held the next twice before fading into a modest third over 1m4f here yesterday. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gave short-odds favourite a fright when second of four here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June but was soundly beaten on his other four starts for Tony Carroll this year and his latest win was in 2023. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won since 2023 but he went close in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has claims on that form but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l back at Brighton two weeks ago; risks attached. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who has finished second a few times on turf this season, without being particularly consistent; scored twice over C&D in December 2021 but is harder to fancy on his 2022 AW form. |
20/1 |

14th 7 (3) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who has finished second three times this season, most recently behind Dogged at Ripon in August; often amateur ridden; suspicion one or two will prove stronger. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 5yo but he's not finished closer than 4l to a winner including in five handicaps (1m-1m4f); mark has bottomed out now and others are preferred. |
25/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who was mid-division at Nottingham on his recent stable debut and could improve for that first run since January; however, his form has been very modest and it's hard to be confident. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (7) |
15th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Not that competitive in six starts for Gay Kelleway, including handicaps from 1m to 1m4f; absent since January. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-13 this year and has dropped to a mark in the 40s; best recent effort when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) on penultimate start; has the worst chance at the weights on current figures. |
20/1 |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways. |
