Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since. |

Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle 24 days ago; should give his running but others may prove better treated. |

Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

Smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in four runs this season; return to 6f in his favour but don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
1 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course regular who landed her third race here when making all over C&D (good) in July; similar form when second at Chester (5.5f, soft) last time; player. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded her sixth win when making all at Haydock (5f, good) in July but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; ran respectably at Haydock last time but she looks weighted near her best off this mark and could be vulnerable again. |
13/2 |
|
7 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten over C&D last month but that was a rare start on fast ground; has won here three times, the latest over C&D (good) in July, and she's also won on soft ground; could bounce back with a bold show. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark. |

9th 6 (7) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Fit from the AW when winning this race 12 months ago (good ground) off a 5lb lower mark; mixed bag afterwards and it looks a stronger contest this time around. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here. |
16/1 |
|
18th 18 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Hugely admirable 12yo whose seven York wins include this race in 2019 and 2021, and he built upon last month's reappearance second at Ripon (5f, good) to win at Beverley (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; however, there's a suspicion he may find a big-field Class 2 such as this too hot nowadays. |
20/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Legendary 12yo who has won 18 of his 117 races; fine second at Ripon on reappearance (5f, good), rain will help and although yet to win in four runs here, wouldn't rule him out. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Below par since his 5f Yarmouth reappearance success in April but has dipped to 2lb below that winning mark; dangerous if staging a revival. |
8/1 |
|
14th 6 (18) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |

Only a length away over C&D on his return from 222 days away but no certainty to follow one good run with another, and he finds winning difficult (1-31). |
13/2 |

2nd 6 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting on for three years since his sole success (6f, good to firm); thrown in on last year's best form and he has run well fresh in the past; not discounted now dropping into a 0-55. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Veteran who arrives with form-figures of 78800; however, he has had excuses for several of those defeats and now runs off a career-low mark, so he's not entirely without hope. |

8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Won this race off a 12lb higher mark last season (soft); mixed form this season, but creditable third over C&D last time (soft) and having dropped a further 2lb, is a contender. |
9/1 |

4 (2) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

8yo who has had a regressive campaign but he showed some spark at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) two starts ago; two-time C&D winner on soft/good to soft so today's conditions will be right up his street; chance. |

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

6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |

3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
