14th 7 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including a defeat of Jonny Concrete here on good to firm); creditable in-frame efforts on two of three starts this year without necessarily suggesting he's ready to strike again. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including here on good to firm); encouraging seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) last month and likely remains in better form than his subsequent Ripon ninth might suggest as he was second home on his side. |
11/2 |

9th 10 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps; fully effective over C&D and he made an encouraging seasonal return at Catterick last week, second of nine having been headed inside the final furlong (6f, good); looks the likeliest leader up the far side if the field split. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
12th 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |
|
13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just two of his 96 starts have been over 7f but he was placed over C&D in February; three Chepstow wins in the summer and he also ran well for third at Chelmsford when last seen five weeks ago; each-way shout. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

3rd 3 (12) |
26th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Rattled off a Chepstow hat-trick in the summer and showed better form when third in a C&D handicap this month; never threatened at Kempton 12 days ago and he has the widest stall to overcome here. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Made it two wins in last three starts when seeing off seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Thursday; a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid in her current mood. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for the year with a determined effort in a Class 6 at Doncaster last month (5f, good to firm); not in the same form at Ayr 16 days ago but this C&D winner could rebound with a big run. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D win 15 months ago, but she's struggled to find her form this year and although her mark has bottomed out, she looks opposable tried in blinkers for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plummeted down the handicap and has finished out of the frame in her last nine starts; this is however her best chance for a while and cannot be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (11) |
5th May 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Has dropped 7lb below her last winning mark and has the assistance of Patrick Millman, but has finished out of the frame in her last eight starts; has won on good to soft, unraced on anything softer. |

16th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Veteran who has run a couple of good races this winter, including his third of eight over C&D ten days ago; a bit more will be needed to record his 11th career success. |

3rd 6 (9) |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time winner who was a close second at Southwell on her return to action in March; unable to match that in two runs since but she has too much ability to discount at this level. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out of form on AW in early part of this year and his two recent turf runs were no better than respectable; continues to slide down the weights but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced). |
11/2 |

5th 3 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

raced wide, in touch with leaders, no impression from 2f out, weakened inside final furlong |
