14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2022 on a high and she's continued the good work, albeit without winning, this season; runner-up three times in Listed events and also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup when racing nearest the far rail; handles all ground but the recent rain is an obvious positive. |

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

Now 7lb lower than when making all for narrow C&D (soft) win at end of last season but is yet to strike form after five runs this year; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |

Back to the mark off which he won a 5f handicap at the May meeting; not had optimal conditions since but returning to 6f and dropping in class could see a revival from this eight-time course winner. |

6th 3 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Eight course wins to his name, the latest in May (5f, good) off a 2lb lower mark; had form over 7f in his youth but this year's two C&D runs haven't been convincing. |
16/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has won in Bahrain but all eight British wins have come at Chester (5f/6f); his last success was in May but he's gone backwards since and was beaten 14l in the Wokingham last time; now returns to Chester but he's drawn out wide and has something to prove back up in trip. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has finished down the field on his last four runs and needs a major turnaround; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning in a big field over C&D (soft) in April on his last run here, and his good record at Doncaster also includes a win in this race in 2021; dangerous to dismiss. |

Three heavy defeats have followed his impressive Doncaster win in April (6f, soft); not the easiest to predict but conditions won't be an issue and he's dangerous to write off. |

Won over C&D (good to soft) last July but he's lost his way and has been out of sorts this season; now 17lb lower than for that last win but the veteran has a lot to prove. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; runner-up on this card 12 months ago; having a solid campaign but surprising if he was up to winning. |

9th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives. |

2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

Winner of eight races including one over C&D, but losing run up to 12 despite a slipping mark; not disgraced when fourth of 11 behind Great at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month, but he could really do with the ground easing. |

Won over C&D in May last year (good to soft); beaten 7l when third at Ripon last week (6f, good); these are his ideal conditions and should go well. |
7/2 |
Verdict
Richard Fahey saddles two candidates who should both revel in the underfoot conditions, with the well-handicapped Monsieur Kodi likely to be better suited to today’s trip. Fast Response is another who should enjoy conditions but the two against the field are Gweedore and TACARIB BAY. Gweedore has run well in strong 6f handicaps this autumn and his latest York run, when doing best of the prominent racers and thrashing the others to race stands’ side, was right up there with his finest work. Tacarib Bay hasn’t run at 6f for some time but he is a strong traveller who confirmed he was as good as ever with a cracking run on the wrong side at Ascot in July. He comes here a fresh horse and this could set up nicely for him.[Paul Smith]
