Formerly smart including winning a Group 3 at Sandown in July 2021, but 0-11 since and tailed off in the Stewards' Cup when last seen; not hard to look elsewhere. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; usual visor goes back on now and this four-time C&D scorer is not out of things under a 4lb penalty. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from below-par run at York with close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good) on Sunday, and his best run this season came when close second of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; not ruled out back here. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Debut winner when trained in Ireland (5f); no sign of controlling her headstrong tendencies but has still run well in three of her four handicaps (on soft/good; 5f/6f); returning to 5f looks the right move and can go well. |

Acts on fast and soft ground; had some close calls off higher marks this summer but he's not threatened in last three runs and is now 0-20 since his last win 15 months ago; down the list. |

Better drawn today than when sixth behind Project Dante here three weeks ago; unable to justify favouritism at Newcastle eight days later; dangerous mark but his losing run is mounting up. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |

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. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |
4/1 |
Verdict
This is a big drop in grade for Came From The Dark and he has to enter calculations but this track doesn’t always lend itself to his hold-up tactics. Showalong can go well back on slower ground but REIGNING PROFIT was in good form in the spring and he can show the benefit of a summer break and record his third C&D win of the season. Herakles isn’t fully exposed and is another to consider.[Paul Smith]
