30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form in the autumn, landing a deserved C&D success in October and running well in defeat on two subsequent starts up to around 3m; remains on a tough mark but should be all the sharper for this month's reappearance. |
8/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came back to form in the autumn and gained a deserved success at Stratford (2m6f) in October, following that with two solid placed efforts off higher marks, latest at Hereford (3m2f) in November off 2lb lower and all on good ground; has a career-high mark to defy but is reliable and has gone well off a similar break before. |

12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two good runs for new stable this summer, the latter when keeping-on second at Worcester (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) 23 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted; leading contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner who has dropped to a tempting mark but he needs to produce more than on his last two starts, most recently a 12l seventh behind a few of these over C&D (good to soft); reapplied cheekpieces replace visor (he's been similarly effective in both forms of headgear in the past). |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 |
18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His last win was was off 1lb higher over C&D in March 2021; lightly raced since but he still retains most of his ability and he caught the eye with his staying-on sixth at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he's in the mix back over this more suitable trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |
12/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark at 20th attempt over fences when winning here in May (3m, good); decent fourth next time (3m, good); place chance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Took advantage of a final-fence error from The Clonmel Kid to get off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt over C&D (good; 10-1) 18 days ago; effectively 6lb higher from out of the weights today and her task is tougher; others preferred. |
15/2 |
|
1st 8 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help. |
50/1 |
Verdict
The strong finish of DR SHIROCCO to win over an extended 2m4f here last time provides optimism that he will see out this longer trip and he is taken to land a hat-trick. The unexposed Prince De Juilley may be the chief danger ahead of C&D winner Not The Chablis.[Ben Hutton]
