27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |

Went winless last season but ran well on occasions and he's handicapped to go in at some point; seems to run well fresh. |

Without a win this year but has run well in defeat and Newcastle last time was one of those races, going down by a neck; Lewis Chalkley returns with his claim and these two have combined well in the past. |

In consistent form in the spring when finishing a close second five times, including over C&D, as well as winning a 1m classified event at Newcastle; however, he hasn't been in the same form since back from a break, drastically so last time out; others are much preferred. |

Five-time C&D winner, including twice around this time last year, who's on the downgrade now; is handicapped accordingly but has had a good few chances in similar company of late. |

Should be winning races off his reduced mark and the return to 6f looks a good move judged on recent efforts; four of his 12 wins have come over C&D; high on the list. |

Eight-time C&D winner who's into the veteran stage and on the downgrade, arriving on a losing run of 18; is entitled to have come on for last month's Southwell run, following a short break, and the return here will suit. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit the line strongly at Wolverhampton (5f; from 6lb lower) over three weeks ago; he's 7-39 on AW, but is yet to win on turf (0-20); handicap mark is still a fair one, particularly with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, and this is the right type of race; don't discount. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner; two good runs here last month but he was never in the hunt back here 18 days ago; has the ability to feature but he will need luck in running from stall 1 given his racing style. |

9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner who has ran well here behind Kento on his last two starts, most recently a close third 16 days ago; holds good claims but his hold-up style means that things need to fall right. |

Eight-race maiden; not far off his best when fifth of 11 at Southwell last month but he'll need to raise his game if he's to break his duck in this field. |

Lightly raced 3yo who has run creditably in both 5f handicaps this year, more recently 2l behind Opal Storm at Carlisle three weeks ago; needs more to win but that's not out of the question. |

Course winner (5f; August 2021); now rated 21lb lower than when last successful at Carlisle the following summer; it is difficult to be enthused though by his latest effort at Nottingham (5f, soft; ninth of 11, beaten 8l); others preferred. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago. |

All three wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Fahey; only narrowly denied by The Gay Blade over 6f at Newcastle in February but hasn't been in same form since, including behind that reopposing rival there last week. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Conditions no problem but only ninth behind a couple of these over C&D last week and he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend; type to come good again soon. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win 12 months ago came off an 8lb higher mark; pick of this summer's form gives him claims but he has suffered heavy defeats on his last three starts; too much to prove for now. |
