23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful on AW/turf but was below par last time and seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere; beaten off current mark (finished fifth of 12) in this race 12 months ago. |
12/1 |

10th 1 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough 7yo with a fine C&D record; might have needed the run at Glorious Goodwood after five months off, and fared much better when fourth at Chester two weeks ago; that should have put him spot-on for this and he has real each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark. |

Some good efforts over 5f this year but has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair; 66-1 when towards the rear in the Nunthorpe. |

15th 6 (17) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Some good efforts over 5f this year but he has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair on his last three starts and has it to prove in this company. |
66/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Suited by drop back to 7f when winning at Newmarket (good to firm) and nearly followed up in 20-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (good); up another 3lb but plenty to like for trainer who won this race in 2020 and 2021. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by the drop back in distance at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, narrowly beating Great Acclaim and taking 7f record to 3-5 (only 1-8 over further); on a career-high mark but interesting kept to this trip. |
11/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped encouragingly at Chester (7.5f) on the return to turf and proved unsuited by 1m2f (raced too freely) later in May; however, now 0-5 in this sphere and peak form remains on AW where he's a three-time scorer. |

It's 18 runs since she scored over C&D and she comes here on the back of a below-par ninth in 7f Southwell handicap last month; not easy to make a case for. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Three-time winner but now on a lengthy losing run and connections reverted to blinkers last time at Goodwood; needs to turn a corner. |

11th 16 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten on his last 16 starts going back to May 2024 and he didn't deliver on a hint he was on the way back at Chester in May when beaten 7l at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago; just 1lb above his last winning mark, however, and first-time blinkers might help him put his best foot forward. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
11 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Front-runner; struggling for form this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced handicap mark; dropping into 0-80 company will help but there are risks attached. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't got going this year but he's dropped to a good mark on last year's high points and a tongue-tie is turned to; a revival is not out of the question; effective on soft but hasn't shone on heavy. |
20/1 |

10th 9 (7) |

Made it 2-3 at Musselburgh when winning there over 7f in April off a 1lb lower mark than today's; beaten only 4l when seventh of 19 at York (7f, good) 11 days ago but stamina has to be a concern on just his third try over a 1m. |
14/1 |

7th 11 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April, making it 2-3 at the Edinburgh venue, and he's just 2lb higher today; can't be totally dismissed but this 9yo is inconsistent and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (7f, good) last time. |

Listed win in Germany in October 2024 and went close at Sandown and Newbury last term; however, after a disappointing October he made it 0-10 for the season and this is a tough race in which to try to break his British duck. |
50/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart on the continent, including on testing ground; 0-9 for Jamie Osborne but he has run some good races, including a near miss over C&D last month; not so good at Ascot since but returning to Class 3 will be in his favour. |
12/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |

Runner-up in this race last year before going on to beat American Gal by a neck in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) 18 days later; not at the same level in three starts this year and although not beaten that far in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month (four of these behind), still more will be needed. |
15/2 |

8th 4 (17) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Third in this race on good to firm last year and left even that form behind when bagging a Group 3 over the round mile here under Billy Loughnane a month later; hasn't fired in two outings this spring but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and no shock to see a revival back at Ascot. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f here (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts since but hasn't been helping his cause with slow starts (also soon off bridle and detached latest); the much longer trip will allow him more time to catch up if doing something similar this afternoon but his ability to see it out has to be taken on trust. |

Very up and down this year, with his stand-out efforts at Ripon (wins over 1m2f on good/soft); down the field at Musselburgh last time but a case can be made if he reproduces this season's best form; ran fairly well here last September; not discounted. |
