14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2022 on a high and she's continued the good work, albeit without winning, this season; runner-up three times in Listed events and also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup when racing nearest the far rail; handles all ground but the recent rain is an obvious positive. |

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Stable stalwart with five course wins to his name; 2026 has been a struggle and although the handicapper is now relenting, he has enough to prove. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

Now 7lb lower than when making all for narrow C&D (soft) win at end of last season but is yet to strike form after five runs this year; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D win at the May meeting off a 1lb higher mark; not so good since, including when well backed over 6f here three weeks ago; conditions should be fine but a lower draw would have been preferred. |
6/1 |

7th 1 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

Back to the mark off which he won a 5f handicap at the May meeting; not had optimal conditions since but returning to 6f and dropping in class could see a revival from this eight-time course winner. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Eight course wins to his name, the latest in May (5f, good) off a 2lb lower mark; had form over 7f in his youth but this year's two C&D runs haven't been convincing. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has finished down the field on his last four runs and needs a major turnaround; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning in a big field over C&D (soft) in April on his last run here, and his good record at Doncaster also includes a win in this race in 2021; dangerous to dismiss. |
12/1 |

Three heavy defeats have followed his impressive Doncaster win in April (6f, soft); not the easiest to predict but conditions won't be an issue and he's dangerous to write off. |

Won over C&D (good to soft) last July but he's lost his way and has been out of sorts this season; now 17lb lower than for that last win but the veteran has a lot to prove. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in the 2022 running in sole C&D start; has dropped back to just below his winning mark at Beverley (about 7f; made all in four-runner race) in July but not in much form since; now goes in a visor (won in cheekpieces much earlier in career); revival needed. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |
16/1 |

2nd 10 (5) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick after winning back-to-back at Hamilton (both 6f, soft) last month; usually races prominently; up another 4lb but will be a big player if repeating his latest effort. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

At his best over 6f on soft ground and made the most of optimum conditions here last week, making all; Rebecca Burley's claim erases the penalty and he should threaten again. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Losing run goes back to May 2025 but 6f on soft ground are his ideal conditions and he's now 9lb lower than his last winning mark; interesting. |
4/1 |
Verdict
Richard Fahey saddles two candidates who should both revel in the underfoot conditions, with the well-handicapped Monsieur Kodi likely to be better suited to today’s trip. Fast Response is another who should enjoy conditions but the two against the field are Gweedore and TACARIB BAY. Gweedore has run well in strong 6f handicaps this autumn and his latest York run, when doing best of the prominent racers and thrashing the others to race stands’ side, was right up there with his finest work. Tacarib Bay hasn’t run at 6f for some time but he is a strong traveller who confirmed he was as good as ever with a cracking run on the wrong side at Ascot in July. He comes here a fresh horse and this could set up nicely for him.[Paul Smith]
