The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

Infrequent winner who missed last year but he returned to form when runner-up at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last week; that was eye-catching off a reduced mark and he has claims if he can back that up. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark for his new stable when readily landing a 7f handicap here ten days ago; not well in under his penalty but still more likely than some to give his running. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His first two runs for this yard were encouraging enough but he's not landed a blow in two runs over 6f since cheekpieces went on; continues to drop in the weights and he should get a strong pace to run at here; still looks vulnerable for win purposes though. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who made all for a narrow success at Ripon in August but he's not easy to predict and was a remote third at Catterick two weeks ago; others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
It was a seventh success when making all and just holding on at Ripon (good to firm) in July; only 1l behind Albegone at Musselburgh (also 5f, good) last month; bit below that form at Redcar a fortnight ago but not hard to see a bold bid under star amateur Henry Callan. |
4/1 |
|
8th 13 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Ripon (5f) in July and backed it up with a solid third of six to Albegone at Musselburgh (5f) three weeks ago; also took this in 2024 so he's a likely player. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning at Nottingham (5f, good) in May; also suited by this C&D but returns from 145-day break on a tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win 8.6f classified here in March and can handle today's drop back in trip but this is his first run since May and he might find this race too competitive. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |
