2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |

3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

On a losing sequence and he was a below-par fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; others are preferred. |

5th 6 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

A seven-time C&D scorer; arrives in good nick, posting a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; a likely player again eased 1lb. |

3rd 9 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |
11/1 |

3rd 3 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Prolific winning veteran, mostly over 1m on a sound surface; most recent success came in this race last year, when 8lb higher; supported when a close second at Ripon latest start; respected. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Acts on soft; close third on penultimate start, inconsistent otherwise this year; three-time winner at Chester and has possibilities back here, provided he takes well to first-time visor. |

11th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and has run well in defeat on his four starts since, on the latest finishing fourth of 31 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, soft); one of two solid contenders for the yard. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not as good now and has his share of off days; back on a winning mark, though, has a C&D win to his name and this is less competitive than he's used to returning from ten weeks off. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his Salisbury win (7f, good to firm) in July; held his form since and he has the assistance of a useful claimer in the saddle; each-way shout. |
9/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't really kicked on from his 7f win at Salisbury in June but has posted some fair efforts; in top hands and this lightly raced 4yo may be able to take a sizeable step forward at some stage. |
7/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his second win when scoring at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June and was a good second at Kempton next time; didn't fire at Ripon 13 days ago but that was on slow ground and he could resume his progress here; in the mix. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
6yo who has a regressive profile but he kept on into mid-division over 7f here (good to soft) three weeks ago and the return to 1m and more testing ground could be in his favour, with both wins having come on heavy going; interesting contender off an ever-falling mark. |
9/1 |
|
1 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his Irish wins on heavy ground and he produced a clear best effort for current yard on soft (now 9lb lower) when fourth of nine at Redcar last November; revival plausible when he returns to those conditions. |
