3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 11 times since his last win in August 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and was a fair fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago on his first run since wind surgery; could be in the mix. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 4yo who held on well to make all at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; should be okay back on turf and recent 3lb rise is offset by Laura Coughlan's claim today but he's very unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
5/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Has registered most wins on AW but ran creditably last Saturday when bidding for a Thirsk (1m) double; this 8yo remains in form and is still well treated on historical data. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Won plenty down the years, often on soft turf in the summer, but time has looked to be catching up this season, latterly when comfortably held behind We've Got This early in the month. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career running over a bit shorter in better company than this; cracked late on his return from an absence, having been gelded, at Salisbury a fortnight ago and is entitled to have come on for that; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dangerously handicapped on old form but looked out of sorts during five-race turf/AW spell from August to January; gelded in March; needs to have been revitalised by 203-day break. |
