Upped to this trip for the first time when landing a C&D handicap 23 days ago; had a bit to spare on that occasion but this looks a much stronger race. |

Had cheekpieces on last two starts, on first occasion winning over C&D in February (3lb higher today); seventh of eight two months later but not beaten far; could have her say again. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

9th May 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner who has found it tough going since his Wolverhampton win (extended 1m1f) in December; connections now try different headgear. |

13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked as though he might be one to follow when off the mark at the 15th attempt over C&D in December, but hasn't really built on that performance despite running with some credit in two of his five starts since; edging back towards his winning mark, but others look more solid. |

16th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Added to her five C&D wins when scoring at Newcastle last month and she backed that up with a good second back here last Friday; on same mark on this drop back in grade and she should be in the thick of things again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Her first five wins came over C&D but she got back on the scoresheet over 1m2f at Newcastle two weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she battled well to justify support and is only 2lb higher on her return to this track; key player. |
11/4 |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 4lb |
Has run with credit on Tapeta at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but all five wins have come at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); is on a good mark, but losing run now up to 15 and enough to prove on first visit here. |

11st 0lb |
Sole Flat win in 30 attempts came this September in a 1m4f soft-ground handicap at Thirsk; that was a Class 6, however, and he's unlikely to be good enough. |

29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Belatedly off the mark with a wide-margin win at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) in the hands of William Pyle; ran a bit flat when only fourth at Hamilton after escaping a penalty and now he's 5lb higher; that Thirsk win might be dodgy form. |

Four wins for William Stone and the latest was off this mark over C&D last April; returned from 223 days off with a respectable effort on his stable debut at Wolverhampton last month and he's one to keep an eye on back at this track. |
