20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Course specialist who took this race in 2022 and 2023; 3lb lower than for July's C&D win but she has gone off the boil more recently and there is other pace to contend with today. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
12-time C&D winner including three this summer; no impact in her last three starts, but her last success was off only 1lb lower and she battled well when landing this race last year; not ruled out. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A fairly useful 5f/6f winner in 2025; yet to add to that in 2026 but comes here in decent nick, staying on into eighth of 21 in 5.5f York handicap 13 days ago; can go well off a 2lb lower mark here with this return to 6f also a plus. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He hasn't won yet in 2026 but he has looked to retain plenty of ability and his latest Pontefract second (6f, good to firm) was a solid effort; should appreciate this intermediate trip and he has a big run in him. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |
4/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Struck form on AW last October, his form figures of 112251 rounding out with a win at Wolverhampton (7f) in January; came back from 189-day break when the run looked needed at Carlisle last month; should step forward from that although this may be another stepping stone to his return to AW. |
16/1 |
|
7th 12 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
First three wins were on turf but last three have come on Tapeta; only 1lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win in January but that was a Class 5 and he finished out the back in his final run during the winter; now goes back up in grade and he has work to do after 189 days off. |
25/1 |
|
10th 9 (8) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Six wins this year alone, three over 6f on AW and three on turf (7f); just 2lb higher than the latest of them in June but he needs more than shown in recent starts. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick in the summer (first two legs over C&D); unplaced on his last two starts and likely too high in the weights now. |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |

5 (6) |
14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds. |
33/1 |

6th 1 (10) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had a brief consistent spell that was initiated by Redcar success but his form has dipped sharply in last two starts; yet to win beyond 7f. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time winner whose last success came over this C&D (good; possibly flattered by racing in a small breakaway group) in June; only 2lb higher but he stopped abruptly over a mile last time; may do better back at 7f. |
16/1 |
