Well clear of the other prominent racers when getting off the mark under Louise Akehurst in strongly run 7f handicap at Doncaster last weekend (good to soft); penalised 6lb; should go well again. |

Completed a low-grade handicap double on turf last summer and has proved consistent in the main this season, latterly on AW; solid claims returned to this sphere. |

Both wins came in turf handicaps around this time last year (1m2f/1m4f); has run with credit lately including when fourth of 13 in a 0-60 handicap over C&D five weeks ago; one of the likelier winners. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quirky sort who has sometimes snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this season, partly through idling in front; has the ability to record a fourth C&D win, provided new headgear works a treat. |
11/4 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has three C&D wins to his name, including this race in 2023; retains ability but threw away a golden opportunity at Leicester last month and a subsequent Newcastle run was below his recent best too; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Bagged a fourth C&D success in February; off since a below-par seventh over C&D in March though so needs to hit the ground running. |

7th 2 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Came good at 13th attempt, with 7f course win in this grade three weeks ago; enjoyed run of the race in that slowly run event and his overall profile remains unconvincing but he should be fine back at 1m. |

1st 2 (4) |

12-race maiden; some headway from the rear when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f; 25-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step over 6f here five weeks ago; others preferred. |
