21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's a four-time C&D winner and can't be dismissed off his reduced mark; made the frame in last two starts, latest back at Pontefract. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
8/1 |

9st 0lb |
9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gained two of his ten wins over this C&D and returns here after bouncing back to form with commendable second in last week's Epsom Dash (5f, good to soft); still well handicapped after 3lb rise; likely contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 19 (18) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific winner down the years and he arrives off an 11lb lower mark than when fifth in this 12 months ago; yet to shine this year (poor draw at Chester on penultimate start) but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him fare better today. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prolific winner over the years, including over C&D; no impact yet this season but he wasn't disgraced from a wide draw at Chester last time and he's tumbling in the weights; solid each-way claims. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Enjoyed a productive summer last year and he returned to action with a career-best effort at Southwell in January; solid runs in defeat on his last two starts; another big run on the cards. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Strike-rate of 8-35 includes five turf wins; creditable fourth (Far Above The Law second) of 17 at Thirsk (5f, good) three weeks ago; likely to be competitive again. |

4th 2 (14) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times (5f/6f) on the AW last autumn/winter and he's equally good on turf; however, he's not known for his reliability and his last two efforts have been poor ones; bit to prove after an absence. |
14/1 |

10th 10 (6) |
3rd Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Deserves some credit for winning three times this autumn/winter, including here; however, the negative is his inconsistency, as reflected in his form figures; not entirely sure what to expect. |

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted. |
10/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since 2024; ran well on consecutive 7f starts in April/May and is well handicapped on those efforts but recent sprint form has been below par. |

4th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 6f for Tim Easterby, including on the old Fibresand surface at Southwell; didn't show much on her stable debut over C&D last time (behind Ultramarine) and best to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
7 (5) |
18th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Mostly consistent on turf this year for Tim Easterby, sold for 5,500gns after finishing third of nine at Redcar four weeks ago; rarely seen on AW but did win at Southwell (Fibresand) earlier in career. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
String of good efforts in July and August, winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) and placed on five other occasions; not at his best at Pontefract 11 days ago though and he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend. |

10th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Veteran who has raced mainly at sprint trips and failed to get home on sole attempt over 7f (three starts ago); opposed back up in distance. |
25/1 |
|
8 (6) |
2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
10yo who is inconsistent and has won just one of his last 26 starts; however, that was over C&D in October and he was a fair fourth over C&D last Thursday; capable of a bold bid if on another going day. |
16/1 |
|
4th 11 (2) |
26th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

C&D winner in October and he didn't run badly back here 16 days ago; 7f no good to him last week and he's on a fair mark if this is a good day. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |
10/1 |

Verdict
A case can be made for a few of these, but VENTURA EXPRESS gets the verdict given he didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when eighth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (second in his group behind a subsequent winner) and can race off a 2lb lower mark. Dark Shot is weighted to have a big say if on his A-game, as is Vintage Clarets (second choice) who has been keeping better company and returns from a break after being gelded. Jordan Electrics completes the shortlist.[Peter Entwistle]
