4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner (1m2f/1m4f; good to firm/AW); respectable fifth of ten here over 1m3f in May on his first start for 433 days but he was below his best at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June; needs to bounce back on his first start since. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dead-heated at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November 2024 and he was runner-up over that C&D last February; showed he retains ability when fifth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on his first start for 433 days last month and may come on for it, although this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Back to form when second of eight in 1m handicap at Newmarket 13 days ago; this C&D winner take a big step back up in trip now and must enter calculations off a reduced mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in three Flat runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he was sixth of seven over C&D last time and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in two Flat runs (1m2f/11.4f) this season; has plenty to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |

2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |
