soon in rear, headway and switched to near side over 2f out, slightly hampered over 1f out, went second when unbalanced inside final furlong, pressed leader inside final 110yds, kept on |

12th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Four-time course winner, including twice over C&D this year; however, he's gone off the boil over C&D the last twice and has to bounce back. |

21st Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Four-time course winner, including two this year; he's not totally dismissed but needs to perform better than he's managed over C&D the last twice. |

18th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has been in fine form this season with four wins over this trip at Catterick, the latest on soft ground last week; 4lb penalty to overcome, but conditions suit and he could go well again (has won over 6f on the straight course here). |
6/1 |

1st 1 (11) |
12th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three C&D wins for the season (good to firm-good to soft) when beating 14 rivals here three weeks ago; clearly likes it here and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop this 8yo. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (7) |
21st Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Kept on for second at Nottingham (6f, soft) last month then posted his second C&D win of the season five days later (good); close fourth of 14 last time (6f, AW) and he's a solid contender now back up in trip. |

20th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all over 6f at Catterick in October; raced over further of late, bumping into a sharp improver two starts ago and again bang there at Catterick on Monday (7f, good); should give it a good shot back at 6f. |
5/1 |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Ended last season with a 6f success here on soft ground and she has shaped well on all her three runs this season, from 6f to an extended 1m; her latest conqueror dotted up at Leicester on Saturday; highly likely to be involved. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Running consistently since the blinkers went on but can miss the break and/or pull hard, and stall 12 isn't good for one happiest on the sharp end; has won only one of his last 22 starts and needs better. |

One win and two runner-up finishes in his last three starts over C&D, the latest when beaten a length by Explorers Way 11 days ago; 2lb better off and likely to be thereabouts again. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (13) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won then second over C&D in June/July and offered enough to think he's still in form when sixth of 15 at Catterick (7f) 18 days ago. |

21st Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Five-time course winner (on various ground) who has been second then fourth in divisions of this race in each of the last two seasons; in good form on Newcastle AW the last twice and he's one to consider. |

16th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Several respectable efforts since last win but was below best following a short break over C&D (good to soft) last time; should do better from low draw with capable apprentice up. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
1st Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Not the most prolific (3-35), but running well lately as when beaten less than a length into third of 13 at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last time; races off the same mark and holds solid each-way claims. |
9/2 |

in touch with leaders, outpaced over 2f out, soon switched to near side, rallied on outer over 1f out, went third inside final 110yds, no match for first two |
3/1 |
|
2nd 11 (9) |
12th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made it C&D win number three when scoring here in June and she returned to form with close fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; unproven on slow ground; could play leading role now back at favourite venue. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
28th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form at Catterick (7f) this summer with a win and two seconds but she's been well below form on turf and Tapeta in last two runs; goes back up in trip but she's 0-9 on AW and others are preferred; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

Made it course win number four when scoring over C&D (good) last month and runner-up at Hamilton eight days later (6f, good to soft; rider dropped whip over 1f out); he's on the shortlist. |

2nd 2 (12) |
20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this last year (good to firm) and also scored on soft ground the following month; after three poor runs he returned to form with a win at Catterick (7f, good) last Wednesday and is a key player if again on a going day. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-10 but he ran well on a couple of occasions at Thirsk last summer; fair reappearance at Newcastle but he ran poorly at Catterick 17 days ago (7f, good); the addition of blinkers needs to give him a lift. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
15th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has lower mileage than these and the ability to win off this mark if he can kick the habit of starting slowly, which again held him back on his reappearance. |
5/1 |
|
6 (10) |
5th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bumped into one when heavily backed at Thirsk last summer but then got turned over at short prices three times, slow starts costing on each occasion; is evidently felt better than this sort of mark and needs watching in the market on his comeback. |
