21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Perhaps best over 5f nowadays and couldn't quite last home in big field over 6f at York last weekend (still ran respectably); gained last turf success off current mark; possibilities. |

5th 15 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Only eighth over C&D last time when quite well fancied but there's nothing wrong with his previous fourth here at the Dante meeting; now below his last winning mark and may well get back on track. |

Runner-up in this race in 2024, and he warmed up nicely for another bid with a good fourth in a big field over C&D at the Dante meeting; should be in the thick of things once more. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 19 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |

Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

He has turned in a string of good runs this year, winning a 17-runner event at Thirsk in May; while he should give his running it would be a surprise if one or two weren't better handicapped. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Running well in defeat this season prior to narrow win in a big field at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; caught wide at Chester (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago when a respectable sixth of 12; could have a big say. |
15/2 |

Yet to run a bad race after six starts this season, and kept on for last-gasp success in 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) a fortnight ago; also suited by this C&D and slow ground; stall 9 makes things awkward, though. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |

4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

2nd 2 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Reeled off a hat-trick last summer (5f-6f, turf and AW) and went close to landing a four-timer when second at Bath in August; below form this term (unable to live up to his market position on last two starts) and he is due to be 2lb lower from the weekend. |

A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; off six months before a fading tenth in 6f Doncaster handicap on his recent return and he should strip sharper here. |

Proven winner who found another burst of improvement for cheekpieces going on last autumn; generally kept to 5f and no headgear as he returns from six months off; also has to prove this sort of mark is within range. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |
|
9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |

Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |

8th 9 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

Five wins in 2025 (all at 5f; on good, heavy and soft ground); had trip and draw excuses for first two runs this year but he'd shot his bolt over a furlong out at Goodwood last time out; might do better back on a more conventional track and the change in the weather brings him into it. |
