27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Pontefract in July (6f, good); not so good in either start since but not handicapped out of things if bouncing back. |
12/1 |

11 (12) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; exploited his drop down the weights when making all at Pontefract 18 days ago (6f, good); still has handicapping scope despite a 4lb rise; one to consider. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |
|
13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The winner of two of his three starts in 2026, notably a big-field Class 4 over C&D six weeks ago; 4lb higher in a stronger race and his draw may not be advantageous. |

1st 8 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Sixth to Kats Bob in this race 12 months ago; made a winning return at Southwell in April but disappointing at Ripon next time and needs to bounce back. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |
|
19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time. |

2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win for this yard, but handicapper slow enough to relent; fair fourth to Gleneagle Bay at Cork in June; first time here, which will be an eye-opener for him. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (21) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 6lb |
Smart turf form at up to 7f in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; some good runs this year, second to Sir Les Patterson on the AW (6f) in February and close fourth at Chester in May (7.5f, good); no luck in running in the Habitat here (won by Headmaster), again behind that rival at Cork. |

14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Smart turf form at up to 7f in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; some good runs for current yard this year, second to Sir Les Patterson on the AW (6f) in February and close fourth at Chester in May (7.5f, good); caught the eye when running on late after not getting a clear run in the Habitat at the Curragh (6f, good); could go close. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |

12th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned back in Bahrain since December, best efforts when placed twice over 6f; well treated on historical data but hasn't won a domestic race since 2023; returns to 7f for first time since last July. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Smart on his day, as when runner-up to a top 6f handicapper at York (good) last October, and he saw off Desert Cop, Badri and Diligently in some style over C&D in May, despite being switched twice; not so good in two runs since but he's too talented to overlook back on this track. |
25/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
First win for nearly two years when he picked up a Windsor handicap (6f, good to firm) off 3lb lower in May and his subsequent effort at Chester, when never competitive, was a puzzling one a fortnight ago; same mark but it would not be a big surprise if he bounced back. |

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 |
|
3 (11) |
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. |
9/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Landed the Wokingham in 2021 and 2022; on a long losing sequence but ran encouragingly in big field at Newbury most recently; fighting chance off current mark. |
