9st 9lb |
Drawn a blank this year but he has dropped a long way in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company for the first time; ran okay over C&D last month and the return of cheekpieces will help; considered. |

9st 4lb |
He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Unplaced in this race in 2021 and 2023 and short of his best when last seen on AW in February; his last three wins have come in the same 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and that race looks a better fit than today's. |

Winner in Britain for John Gosden and Michael Dods; regressive form last year but returned with very encouraging debut for yard over C&D early last month, staying on well for today's rider after tardy start to finish third to Mehman and Primo Uomo; respected. |

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 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |

Turf winner as a 2yo; not solid on 2022 form and though beaten just 3l here last time she was a 50-1 tenth in that race; other preferred. |

10th 8 (7) |

3rd Oct 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fair 5f winner in 2021 for Philip Makin but he's yet to fire for his current yard, racing alone when beating only one at Ripon (5f) nine days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |
