6th 20 (5) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
A five-time scorer in 2025, including over C&D; runner-up in 6f handicaps at York and Redcar this summer and not ideally drawn with 14th in 6f Ripon handicap last time; not ruled out. |
25/1 |

14th 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when third of 15 in this race last year; yet to strike in 2026 but there have been some good runs along the way, including his last two starts; looks the likeliest to grab the far rail if the field split into two groups; one to consider. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had a fine year in 2025, winning five times; in and out this year but his latest York second (of 19) was a fine run and he needs serious consideration despite a 3lb rise. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May but has been pretty consistent since rejoining Tony Carroll in March and probably won't be far away. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
12th 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |
|
13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just two of his 96 starts have been over 7f but he was placed over C&D in February; three Chepstow wins in the summer and he also ran well for third at Chelmsford when last seen five weeks ago; each-way shout. |

3rd 3 (12) |
26th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Rattled off a Chepstow hat-trick in the summer and showed better form when third in a C&D handicap this month; never threatened at Kempton 12 days ago and he has the widest stall to overcome here. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner who has finished runner-up in three of her last four starts, including at Catterick (5f) last week; should be in the mix again and she won't mind what the weather does. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-time winner; bounced back from a lesser effort when second over C&D nine days ago but she was 4l behind Our Absent Friends; this is tougher. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
She is enjoying a good campaign and today's return to Class 5 company is in her favour; she has run well over C&D in the past and a big run looks on the cards from a handy draw. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

C&D win 15 months ago, but she's struggled to find her form this year and although her mark has bottomed out, she looks opposable tried in blinkers for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plummeted down the handicap and has finished out of the frame in her last nine starts; this is however her best chance for a while and cannot be ruled out. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (11) |
5th May 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Has dropped 7lb below her last winning mark and has the assistance of Patrick Millman, but has finished out of the frame in her last eight starts; has won on good to soft, unraced on anything softer. |

Veteran who has run a couple of good races this winter, including his third of eight over C&D ten days ago; a bit more will be needed to record his 11th career success. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Went close at Pontefract in July on her most recent turf run; disappointing on AW last time but should be a force at this modest level. |

10th 14 (11) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out of form on AW in early part of this year and his two recent turf runs were no better than respectable; continues to slide down the weights but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced). |
11/2 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

raced wide, in touch with leaders, no impression from 2f out, weakened inside final furlong |
