9st 5lb |
10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Runner-up at Epsom and here before an excusable defeat at Ascot after getting a worked up in the stalls; the principal concern would an apparent preference for drier ground. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement. |

Five of her six wins have been here, the latest off 20lb higher in July 2022; mixed form this season, but chance on her C&D third in May. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Some creditable efforts this season, including when fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June, but she was disappointing over C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and five of her six wins have come at Beverley; cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run now up to 15 and she has slid down the weights during an inconsistent season; capable still at this level but she's odds-on to pull hard and has had issues at the stalls of late, so isn't without risk. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Continues to tumble down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting in a first-time tongue-tie, but he's been well beaten on all three starts this season and a major turnaround is required. |
16/1 |

11th 8 (5) |
11th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained both wins over C&D but seems badly to have lost his way since his dead-heat here last June; well-beaten 50-1 shot on both appearances this year; considered only if much stronger in the betting today. |
12/1 |
|
14th 11 (4) |
14th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins at Ripon (1m, good to firm), the latest from 5lb higher last summer; hasn't beaten many in his last four starts including on his recent Thirsk reappearance; best watched for now. |
33/1 |
Verdict
Auld Toon Loon, Bashful and Mexicali Rose all have something to recommend them but the pair to appeal most are Cantora and COCKALORUM (nap). The former should be sharper for her recent return to action, goes well in the mud and could benefit from the addition of a hood but Cockalorum still has handicapping scope, has conditions to suit and will appreciate today’s return to Class 4 company.[Paul Smith]
