18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course win last September off this mark (8.3f, good to soft); never a threat over that trip here last month but he's a possible reviver in a race lacking depth. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to soft) last September; rarely seen on fast ground and although he has run well on it, he seems to needs a softer surface these days. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |

Not fully compelling on the balance of this season's form elsewhere; however, looks interesting back at Ayr having gained last two wins over C&D (including off 2lb higher). |

Three-time Musselburgh winner (1m-1m1f; beat Tacitus by a neck last August); mostly struggling this season, albeit did shape a bit better when fifth (beaten 2l) to Zumaaty and Temper Trap at Hamilton last week; stablemate of Onthebunny. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Veteran with nine wins to his name, latest of them over C&D (patiently ridden; led near finish) in August 2023, but 0-10 this season and he was well held on his most recent outing. |

9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |

5th 6 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

2-7 since switching to current stable in July, with both wins gained over 7f on ground slower than good; also suited by a quicker surface and his recent defeat at Catterick can be excused (trapped wide throughout); respectable fourth at Hamilton (1m) yesterday. |

Two wins this season and close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month; latest run was also on heavy when below form at Ayr (off his highest mark for a long time) but he's one to consider. |

7th 12 (7) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month and won comfortably at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) next time; only fourth of seven when unpenalised back at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last Monday and a new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in, but he's not ruled out in view of his penultimate form. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Quirky sort who has sometimes snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this season, partly through idling in front; has the ability to record a fourth C&D win, provided new headgear works a treat. |

4th 9 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has three C&D wins to his name, including this race in 2023; retains ability but threw away a golden opportunity at Leicester last month and a subsequent Newcastle run was below his recent best too; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late. |
