25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner, notably the 2023 Ayr Silver Cup, but two years have passed since the last victory; retained ability in a mixed 2025 campaign and he should be sharper with a run under his belt; drying ground won't be in his favour here though. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
One of the oldest contenders in this field and has done his winning over 6f/7f, mostly on ground softer than good; could well be tapped for toe in this belated first attempt at the minimum trip. |

Without a win since May 2024 but runner-up on three of his last four starts (6f/7f, good to soft/heavy) and his turn may well be near. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

Has made the running for two of her three 7f wins, the latest at Ayr in May (good; off 5lb lower); has since run well in 1m Listed event but her effort was short-lived back in a handicap at Goodwood 23 days ago (1m, good to soft); no easier task today. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

Won over C&D off this mark last summer but does most racing now over further and wants a good test at this trip; said to have run flat last time but does have his good and bad days now for a yard responsible for two others; 2-4 for Kaiya Fraser. |

Won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in January and close fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February before winning over this C&D (good) a fortnight ago; it was a tight finish but he's gone up just 2lb; again in calculations. |

11yo who returned to form when third off this mark at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft ground; patchy profile this year and he likes Musselburgh, but he's not ruled out. |

No win since April 2022 (7f, Ayr) but has slipped to a workable mark, running consistently at Musselburgh; didn't enjoy a great deal of luck when a closing fourth over 7f there last week; returns to a trip which probably suits best; stablemate of Loom Large. |

Verdict
In an open race topweight WOBWOBWOB makes the most appeal. He’s 6lb better off with Manigordo compared with their C&D encounter in August and any further rain is likely to suit him better than his old rival. Dual C&D winner Bicep could be the main danger, although Harswell Duke is also of interest, especially if the ground softens.[Richard O’Brien]
