4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual course winner who has been off 11 months since a narrow success over 7f here; worth a market check, albeit his stamina for this far remains unproven; stable also runs Moon Over The Sea. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ideally suited by going around a left-hand bend, with his six wins coming here and at Wolverhampton; 10lb higher than for his win in this race last year and the widest draw isn't a big selling point today; cheekpieces join the hood today. |

6th 7 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over C&D (good) last month; used up energy to get across to lead from a wide draw when fifth of ten over 5f here a fortnight ago and can be treated as if still in good form. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over 6f here (good) last month; 5f on ground slower than good also suits but he's not ideally drawn and recent 4lb rise demands even more from him. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |
20/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |

Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |

Just one win from her 42 starts; hard to crab her consistency but she's back up in class in a deep race for the grade. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has been running well for a while now and was only a length away last week at Ffos Las (extended 7f); however, finds winning extremely hard with a strike-rate of 1-41. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-40 strike-rate but scores very high marks for her consistency on turf/AW over the last year or so; runner-up off today's mark at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago; probably on the premises again here. |

15th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form fizzled out after promising debut but she looked worth another go at 7f when a keeping-on sixth in quite a competitive handicap for the grade at Wolverhampton (6f) last time; considered down in class; tongue tied the last twice but not today. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |

1st 1 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who is 0-23 on turf, but he's versatile ground-wise and has finished runner-up in two of his five starts at Yarmouth; hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs but he ran respectably over C&D last time and he's in the mix back in a classified event. |

Veteran who scored over C&D in October, but she's not easy to predict and was 6l behind Nordic Glory here ten days ago; needs to bounce back again after that disappointing run and others are more persuasive. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade. |

Off the mark at the 12th attempt in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month and his heavy defeat in a handicap back here a week later can be forgiven on account of the draw; better berthed this time and could go well. |
