8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D record 115; won back-to-back at Ayr and Thirsk (both 5f) in May/June, rising steadily in the weights as a result; below par since returning from mid-summer break, though her latest Beverley effort (on heavy ground) is excusable. |

11th 3 (15) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins on good ground this summer (handles good to soft) and she ran well off this mark in her hat-trick bid in June; not at the same level this month though and soft ground and stall 15 leave her with a look of vulnerability. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished with a flourish for second at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting (5f, soft); her defeat at Hamilton three days later is excusable but Monday's Hamilton fourth, when outpaced before making some late headway, doesn't suggest she is the answer today. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Below par at Hamilton eight days ago but the race possibly came too soon after running well at Ayr (5f) a few days earlier; higher in the weights than ever, however. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Finished behind three of today's rivals over C&D 18 days ago but she showed better form when flying home to take second (first in her group) in a 5f handicap at Ayr (soft) on Thursday; good chance in a race featuring plenty of pace. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the best of draws but he is a hold-up performer in any case; all seven wins have come on Tapeta, including three over C&D, the latest from 4lb lower in April; beaten only a neck here a fortnight ago and capable of playing a part if they go quick enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |

7th 3 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in April and largely in good form subsequently, third of eight in 5f handicap here two week ago; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when scoring at Carlisle (6f, good) ten days ago; that was in a bunch finish but a 2lb rise looks fair enough and he went close over C&D (AW debut) on his penultimate run; shortlisted. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still seeking a first success but he was beaten just a neck when second of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; has a small rise in the weights to overcome but he is unexposed at 6f and shaped well in his one start on slower than good. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command this summer and although he didn't run badly at Doncaster 19 days ago, he will need more for the switch to AW. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-5 over C&D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers. |
14/1 |
