17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Prevailed by half a length in similarly big field at York (5.4f, good to soft; Class 4) two weekends ago, taking record to 9-39; yard has landed this race for the last two years; respected back down in grade, even with 5lb penalty. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The bulk of his winning has been done on AW and although he went close behind Little Mi Mi at Hamilton last month, he looks vulnerable in this field. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |

6th 8 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |

3rd 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

9st 4lb |
All five wins have come over 5f on turf and was only beaten a head at Thirsk (5f, good) six days ago; 1lb well in and won't mind what the weather does; major player. |

10st 2lb |
Has won five times on turf on a variety of ground; did best of her group when ninth of 17 at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) on her return but failed to beat a rival home at Yarmouth 55 days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not at his best since returning from a nine-month absence, just fifth to Digital over C&D last time out; more is required from this C&D winner. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Frequent slow-starter who's run well a few times over C&D without winning and is on a handy mark; fared best of the near-side group at York before a solid effort from a wide stall at Wolverhampton; goes on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Previous C&D winner but often hindered by starting slowly; sixth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (left off here); another win is overdue but he doesn't look ready to strike. |
6/1 |
|
6th 19 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner whose last success was over C&D in May; hasn't made a serious impact since then but he did best of the hold-up performers here (fifth of 11) here last time and is now back on his last winning mark; dangerous. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in May and in good form until just seventh of 12 in 6f Newmarket handicap 25 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was out the back over C&D last time but he scored at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June and was successful off 1lb higher in this race last year; comes with risks attached but has claims if he can bounce back again. |
16/1 |
|
12th 15 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June and comes here on the back of a resurgent fifth of 11 over C&D 24 days ago; scored twice here in 2025 (including over C&D) so ought to be thereabouts. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June; well held in 6f handicaps at York and Pontefract since, however, so this C&D scorer needs to get back on track. |
