2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has won 5f classified events at Wolverhampton and Lingfield on last two starts; a possible, but faces a stiffer task with a 5lb penalty in this handicap. |

1st 1 (5) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Had cheekpieces reapplied when gaining his fourth success on the AW in a classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) eight days ago, winning by 2l; has strong claims in his bid to follow up. |

1st 4 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Three of his four wins have been on AW, including one over C&D; didn't fare too badly in a similar event when fourth of seven at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and the return to AW could see him go close. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |

7th 8 (7) |
13th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Frequent slow-starter who's run well a few times over C&D without winning and is on a handy mark; fared best of the near-side group at York before a solid effort from a wide stall at Wolverhampton; goes on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Previous C&D winner but often hindered by starting slowly; sixth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (left off here); another win is overdue but he doesn't look ready to strike. |
6/1 |
|
6th 19 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go. |

9st 1lb |
Two-time turf winner (5f, good to firm) who was running well in defeat on AW in the winter; back up in grade for his reappearance but he's still feasibly weighted and the betting will be useful. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |

Front-running teenager who won three times last year (once over C&D); not firing on all cylinders in recent months, though, and recent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

21st Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed. |
7/1 |

1st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

1-18, having won at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in February, when 3lb higher; inconsistent since then but, as he showed at Southwell last week, he is capable of being very competitive. |

4th 4 (5) |
9th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Now a 12yo but he went close over C&D two starts back and appeared to be undone by the sharp 5f when fifth of six at Lingfield last time; not easy to rule him out. |
8/1 |
