Four wins last year included one over C&D; made a winning return at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but well beaten back on turf twice since; not quite sure what to expect. |

A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quirky sort who has sometimes snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this season, partly through idling in front; has the ability to record a fourth C&D win, provided new headgear works a treat. |
11/4 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has three C&D wins to his name, including this race in 2023; retains ability but threw away a golden opportunity at Leicester last month and a subsequent Newcastle run was below his recent best too; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley (7.5f-1m4f), the most recent coming last August off a 4lb higher mark than today's, and he posted a solid effort when third there over 1m2f two weeks ago; down the field over this C&D in June. |

3rd 4 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner and a regular here; beaten just over 2l over C&D last month when he was on the back foot after starting slowly; hard to rule out. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; best form has been on the AW, although wasn't disgraced after a break when 7l fifth to Makalu (who is now 5lb worse off) at Beverley last month (8.5f, good to soft). |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
27th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has yet to win a race but was twice placed over 1m4f here earlier this year; however, that's probably more his trip and he was outpaced over Beverley's extended 1m last time. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
18th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; placed twice over 1m4f at Newcastle earlier this year; well beaten in first-time blinkers (retained) at Southwell last time (March); tailed off only previous run on turf (1m4f, soft); stable going well but plenty to prove. |

Market springer when an eyecatching fifth at Ayr (1m, good) 12 days ago but that was in a classified event and this is tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

Won very similar C&D race to this last summer and was second in C&D handicaps on next two outings; has strong claims if judged on those efforts but needs to raise her game after ending 2024 with two below-par runs. |

9st 4lb |
1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |
14/1 |

9th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |
