Passed the post in front on three occasions last season (1m2f/1m4f, AW, good to soft) but was disqualified on third occasion due to banned substance; two fair runs this year, latest a 2nd on AW; ideally suited by some give in the ground. |

Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |

Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to. |

4th 3 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) this April; backed that up when second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and this is easier than the York Dante meeting handicap he contested last time. |
5/1 |

9th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f) this April; second of six when 10-11 at Doncaster (1m4f, again good to firm) 12 days later, which was just as good on form; each-way contender but a bit extra is needed if he's to take this. |

9st 8lb |
Won once each in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but has not scored since and this season he's not at all been the force of old; wore cheekpieces on last two outings, with a respectable show on first occasion; the last of his three AW races was in 2024; unpersuasive. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not the force of old but, after a couple of modest efforts, his latest fifth of 18 at York (10.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) was a step back in the right direction; shaped as though this stiffer test might suit on that occasion so interesting to see if the headgear works a second time for in-form yard. |
16/1 |

5th 12 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |

Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |

Arrives with something to prove having been well beaten here on her two starts this summer (1m2f/1m4f); however, she was progressive last July/September, winning at up to 2m, and she won over hurdles in March; possibilities if she's back on song in a first-time tongue-tie; watch the betting. |

Won three at up to 2m on the Flat last season, including on good to firm; winner over hurdles in March (2m1f, soft) but well held over 1m2f here back on the Flat four weeks ago; this trip is more suitable but she needs to leave that latest run well behind. |
