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. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Fairly consistent sort; ran up to her best when runner-up here (6f) 11 days ago; first-time hood replaces visor and good chance that stepping back up in trip can eke out further improvement. |

Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |

Chelmsford nursery winner (7f, Polytrack) for Amy Murphy late last year and ran his best race of this campaign when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; possible a stiffer test may suit him better, but still shortlisted from the same mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |

2nd 2 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

3rd 9 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
7/2 |

4th 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Placed twice at novice level, including on soft ground over this C&D on her debut, but wasn't able to progress in handicaps last year; has had a wind operation since last seen 221 days ago and she's best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time sprint winner including over C&D; her last success was 13 months ago but she showed signs of a revival when a 2l fifth in a Redcar handicap (6f, good to firm) last week; has possibilities if she can build on that. |
