3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Acts on soft; three wins in summer 2024, the first over C&D; two creditable minor honours this May/July but opposable on what he's done since. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |

11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field at Pontefract last time but in pretty good form previously, finishing third at Catterick (5f, good to soft) two starts ago, and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |
13/2 |

9th 4 (7) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Has tended to be kept to easier tracks but has plenty in his favour otherwise, with him well handicapped and back in form (race didn't pan out his way last time); should go well. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
5f winner on soft and acts on heavy; eased down when appearing to lose his action at Redcar (5f, soft) last week; if over that, he's on a competitive mark. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Conditions will suit and he's been running creditably of late, albeit without quite being at his spring best; not sure stall 12 will be beneficial. |
13/2 |

4th 8 (2) |
7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has generally remained in form since his soft-ground success (off 1lb lower) in the spring; did well to make the frame at Catterick last week considering he raced alone; ties in with Alafdhal on that effort. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |

9st 9lb |
C&D winner; big player on her 2025 best and she was successful over C&D on her last foray into 0-50 company; absent 80 days but has run well after similar breaks in the past; withdrawn having got upset in the stalls on last intended outing. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in January and a handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in July; only beaten just over a length off this mark back here the last twice, but she may struggle to confirm latest running with Bibendum; cheekpieces given a go. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |

9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Completed a Wolverhampton hat-trick around this time last year and returned to form with a close fourth there 16 days ago despite a slow start and hitting some traffic; has won twice here so needs considering. |

11th 13 (2) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
