23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
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. |

1st 2 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His wins have been at 3m2f and 3m; arrives here after good-ground seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, his second and third starts in blinkers; should be in the mix provided he takes to more new headgear. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not quite at her best this year but went down fighting when close second off reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) 12 days ago; went back up 3lb for that but it's worth remembering his career-best performance (in May 2024) came over this C&D on good ground. |

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. |

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). |
14/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

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 |
|
6th 12 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Point/hurdle winner but 0-18 over fences; good second in a four-runner mares' handicap chase at Catterick in February (3m1f, soft) but pulled up last time. |
12/1 |
|
9 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Yet to get her head in front over fences but she posted a good second of four in 3m1f Catterick handicap last month; both her hurdling wins came here too, so she's not out of things. |
9/1 |
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]
