13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took step back in right direction when second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month but was unable to lay a glove on Cascade Hall and will need to build on that performance here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten on both Flat starts this year (1m4f/2m), and just a respectable fifth over hurdles 12 days ago; now 2lb lower than when second here (2m2f, good) last summer but needs to up his game. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

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. |

Often a front runner who has gained six of his seven wins on the AW at Southwell; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, but a record of 1-20 on turf suggests others are more likely. |

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. |
