24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Not seen over hurdles since scoring at Perth (2m) last July but he comes here fit from the Flat and was also a good second on this card 12 months ago; considered. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Plentiful form at Musselburgh with three C&D wins, including last August for his only Flat win last year (4lb higher today); never dangerous when 50-1 for reappearance here two weeks ago but showed promise from out the back and could be a lot more potent this time. |

Very well treated on some of last year's form for Adrian Keatley and seems versatile ground-wise but has not been firing on all cylinders in recent months. |

16th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has won here five times on the Flat (1m4f/1m5f) and once over hurdles (1m7f); patchy form of late and below par here most recently, while she needs to prove her stamina, but she can't be ruled out given her record here. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |
5/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) off this mark in December; beaten 2l when fourth of seven there nine days ago, despite failing to settle, and there's no reason to suggest he won't go well. |
9/2 |

Consistent veteran who made the frame on his last six appearances and is now back on same mark as for C&D win in December; likely to be on the premises. |

Six-time Southwell winner, latterly by a wide margin in an apprentice handicap in March (handicapper punished him for that); finished held twice since and his record round here is nothing like as good. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner and has won here six times, the latest (1m6f) in March; finished well behind a couple of these over C&D last time, though, so has a bit to find. |

7th 2 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

All six AW wins have come here (four of them under Elle-May Croot), the latest by more than 7l over 1m6f last month; has been hit with an 8lb rise, but could enjoy the run of the race if reverting to his usual front-running tactics. |

Veteran who notched a ninth win at the track when landing a 0-50 classified over C&D last month; since well held behind four of these back into handicap company and others are stronger once more. |

Won at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last November but he's had only five runs since and has struggled in all of them; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs a major turnaround; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Not beaten many in three starts this year and has been off for five months, but he is back off the same mark as when successful over C&D this time last year which came after a similar absence; worth a second look. |

10st 9lb |
Multiple C&D winner; fourth (beaten 16l, with Dailileo third) in this race last year, and it's fair to say that she's yet to really fire in 2024; weakened (eighth of ten) over C&D last time, which leaves her work to do with Diamond State. |

Multiple C&D scorer who also took this in 2021 and 2022; came in last on the Flat at Hamilton recently but she had shaped well when a C&D third last month so rates a player once more for yard among the winners. |
