23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Seems best on the AW these days and has run poorly on his last two turf outings, including here; others make more appeal. |
50/1 |

19th 13 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two-time turf winner who ran well when third at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March; however, the AW seems preferable nowadays and he finished last at Newmarket (5f, good) last month when back on grass. |
50/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Often leads; first two wins on turf (6f/5f; good to firm) but better on AW and it's a long time since he showed much on grass; slow to find form on sand over the winter but he's dropped a few pounds now back at 5f; one to keep an eye on for yard that has won two of the last nine runnings. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Has five C&D wins on his resume, including two Wokinghams and two Group 3s; getting on for two years since his last win though and this might be too competitive these days. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success and has something to prove over this trip in this sphere; change of headgear. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner who hasn't run over this trip since February; below best on last two outings and plenty to prove from widest draw back on AW. |

11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Regained the winning thread at Newbury in April; inconsistent results over C&D since; each-way possibilities on penultimate effort (good second) but isn't guaranteed to reproduce it. |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |
16/1 |

11th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |
8/1 |

2nd 13 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark, and he has shaped well on his last two starts; he will need luck if it gets congested up the stands' rail but too much ability to rule out. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously. |
6/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf. |
12/1 |

13th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Captured this prize last year and largely in good form after, despite his customary slow starts; should strip sharper for his reappearance sixth in 5f Newmarket handicap 17 days ago so he's no forlorn hope in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (9) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Strong traveller who can be slowly away; first handicap win when beating Existent at Goodwood (5f, good) last May; treading water during the summer but he did well when a close third of 21 from a tough draw in the Portland (extended 5f, good) in September and a subsequent Ascot defeat by a well-treated rival was another solid run given the race didn't go his way; claims. |
5/1 |
|
5 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins to his name but he has plenty of ability and comes here in top form, most recently coming from well back to snatch second at Ascot three weeks ago (5f, soft); slow starts are a thorn in his side but no surprise to see him arriving on the scene late; new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |
7/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

9st 9lb |
Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

9st 5lb |
Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Newcastle in March and added to his tally with a Thirsk win last month (6f, good); better form when a close third in a Class 3 at Newbury three weeks ago and a 1lb rise is manageable; conditions won't be an issue having finished third in a Wokingham in his prime; high on the list. |

3rd 16 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to popping up at Newcastle (5f) last month; ran well at Doncaster ten days later and back on the scoresheet with a Thirsk win last week (6f, good); won that apprentice race (no penalty today) last time with more authority than the winning margin might suggest but he is up in class today. |
