27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has won over 1m but raced mainly at 7f; not solid on 2026 form and he came up short when a 50-1 shot in big field at York most recently; opposed in another competitive race, back up in trip. |

He won two 7f handicaps last season and took a step back in the right direction with close sixth of 12 at Haydock in April; however, well beaten at Newmarket since and others arrive with less to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, including a win here (6.5f) in September and a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f); returned after wind surgery with a low-key effort at York last month but he may have need that run and has claims if he can get back near best; acts on most ground and four of his six wins have been at 7f. |
6/1 |

14th 8 (14) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return. |
16/1 |
|
24 (5) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back in form with three placed efforts this summer; the latest one took his C&D record to 1113; this front-running 8yo remains just 1lb above last winning mark; solid chance. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time C&D scorer; right back to his best of late when runner-up in 7f handicaps at Wetherby and Thirsk, caught only late on latter occasion; up 2lb but another bold showing is on the cards. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner who bounced back to his best with second of 14 in 7f Wetherby handicap 12 days ago; up 2lb but he remains 1lb below his last winning mark so merits serious consideration. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |
33/1 |
|
20th 12 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; flashed home to win a 7f handicap at Chester in May but it has been a mixed bag since, including dropped into a seller at Chester four weeks ago; dangerous mark if the addition of a tongue tie has a positive effect. |
10/1 |
|

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp winner of a Class 3 handicap here (7f, good) in May but he hasn't matched that form since and was well held over C&D (good to soft) last time; hood now returns but this is highly competitive for a seller and others are preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Produced a strong finish for a last-gasp success off this mark here (7f, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level since but he had some serious traffic issues when a creditable third here last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks. |

C&D winner off this mark on soft ground (also won on good to firm) last autumn; his recent efforts have been no more than respectable but he's nicely handicapped back at venue which suits. |

Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago, so his losing run continues, but he was in good heart previously and kept on well when making the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good); this first crack at 1m is worth a go and he's not ruled out each-way. |
