5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Oldest contender in this field; gained last five wins on Newcastle AW and hasn't scored on turf for three years; brings mixed recent handicap form to classified debut. |

9st 7lb |
Veteran (13-103), latest win C&D (from 5lb higher) on New Year's Day; out of sorts lately, so perhaps age is beginning to catch up with him. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first four starts on Tapeta after the visor went back on, rising 34lb in the process; however, he could only manage a midfield finish off this mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on Wednesday which means he has something to prove all of a sudden. |

15th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive in Class 6 at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, completing a quickfire 7f four-timer; hit with another hefty rise in the weights and steps up two grades but he is better than ever; shortlisted. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
12st 0lb |
Low-rated Flat maiden is 0-9 over hurdles but has placed a few times, including in a Sligo claimer last time (2m1f, good); had a stiff task at the weights that day so it was a creditable effort after a break; needs to build on that but 0-27 overall strike rate is off-putting. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |

Low-rated Flat maiden with minor placed form over hurdles; lacks a recent run and is not well suited by the race conditions; others much preferred. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 2025, the second over 7f on good to firm at Wetherby; hasn't done as well this year, although fair efforts the last twice, most recently over 7f at Redcar (good to firm) last month. |
20/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |
33/1 |

7th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |

Struggled for current stable, including at this level, and a new tongue-tie (often wears headgear but goes without today) isn't enough to tempt. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in decent nick without winning, fourth of nine in 1m handicap at Ripon 13 days ago; it's now 20 runs since his last victory however. |
13/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
In reasonably good form having made the frame in last three starts; however, still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf and this is a step back up in grade; 2lb out of weights. |
10/1 |

3rd 13 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Back in better form with fourth-place finishes the last twice; still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf but he's on an attractive mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7lb; shortlisted. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |

Three-time C&D winner including this race off 5lb higher two years ago; losing run up to 15 but could go well if bouncing back to his best form in the returning cheekpieces. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
This veteran was enterprisingly ridden when back up in trip to contest other division to three of these in C&D classified 12 days ago and he did well to stick on for second once the favourite had swept past; opposable back in handicap company. |
