28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Respectable fifth in this year's Victoria Cup; prevailed last Saturday to take C&D record to 2-2 and overall strike-rate to 7-23; incurs 6lb penalty but Conor Whiteley takes off a useful 5lb; major player. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) but was on the unfavoured far side and prior to that he ran well when fifth of 21 in the Victoria Cup there (7f, good); won over C&D last August; chance. |
6/1 |

20th 10 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A strike-rate of 4-7 on AW includes two Listed wins, at 7f and 6f; not quite so good on grass as yet but he has a 7lb lower turf mark and indicated he could make it pay when an excellent fifth in the big-field Victoria Cup over 7f here (good; has won on good to firm) in May, not ideally positioned there as it turned out; one to consider back at 6f. |

Switched to front-running the last twice, winning a novice event at Wolverhampton (easy task) then disappointing in C&D handicap; widest draw is not ideal if same tactics are attempted. |

Won a Class 4 over C&D in September; unplaced in three runs this year, the latest here last week, and this looks a tough race in which to try to rebound. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

Debut winner at Windsor (soft) in 2023 but hasn't added to that; creditable effort in tongue-tie at Wolverhampton penultimate start but failed to settle and below that last time; needs to be back to best. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but she wasn't disgraced after a break at Carlisle (1m, good to firm; 40-1) 17 days ago; may come on for that outing and she's not ruled out. |
11/1 |

6th 11 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hold-up performer whose record on turf reads 1-17 compared to 6-43 on the AW; shaped as if still in form when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (7f, AW) 117 days ago but may need her first outing since. |
20/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in fine style in December; beaten twice since but she hasn't run badly; fully exposed but a strong pace would enhance her claims. |

9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner from the front last October; mostly creditable efforts in defeat this year and should give it a good shot back at a venue which suits, particularly if he can obtain an uncontested lead. |
9/2 |

6th 8 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f Catterick scorer in October; back in very good form this season, and probably best forgiven his latest 11th in 7f Thirsk handicap when missing the start and unable to lead; the sort to bounce back. |

11th 8 (5) |

Notched two wins over this trip at Catterick last October and he has returned in fine form, making much of the running when a close third over C&D (good ground) last month; solid claims again from an unchanged mark. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 4-15 overall and 2-5 since wearing visor; campaigned exclusively over shorter but the manner of his half-length success in big field at York (7f, good) last time suggests this new trip is worth exploring; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
