J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Paul Midgley

Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with.

9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower.

J: Jason Hart

T: Paul Midgley

Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims.

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

This 9yo hasn't won his summer 2024 but is on his lowest mark for some time and is entitled to strip fitter for his reappearance sixth over C&D in January.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Paul Midgley

Ended last year on a low note but finished runner-up over C&D off 6lb higher on his 2025 reappearance so a revival can't be ruled out back from a 110-day break.
