1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |
20/1 |

8th 11 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back to form when a close third of ten at Wolverhampton 19 days ago (6f; visored); still has plenty of handicapping scope and the booking of Tom Marquand is a positive; back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; contender. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this 12 months ago; not seen after June in 2025 but hinted at a revival on his second run back when seventh of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap 15 days ago; he's one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark here. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m at Doncaster (good to firm) and 1m2f at Ripon (good) last spring; minor late headway on his recent AW reappearance and he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Ripon. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
AW winner in February who took another step forward when coming from last to first in ten-runner race at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) eight days ago, winning by just over 4l; Jack Callan was placed on him in his previous two starts (one here) and returns today, to help combat his 8lb rise. |
13/8 |

1st 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance. |
2/1 |
|
6 (8) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win over an extended 1m1f on the AW in February but he stays much further and wasn't beaten by a lack of stamina when third at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers, retained) last week; acts on good to soft and major claims down in grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with eight AW wins to his name, including one last November and another this February; both were on Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f and 9.4f) and he showed enough in two runs last month to be considered, even though he's very rarely seen over this far nowadays. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with pretty good 8-54 AW strike-rate that includes two C&D wins (one on Fibresand); no longer the force of old but ran well off his lower turf mark a fortnight ago and has a fighting chance here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Much more prolific on AW but has a soft-ground C&D win on his CV; did not enjoy run of the race when sixth in 1m Chepstow classified in July, after a break, but still needs to build on that performance here. |

9st 7lb |
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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His form can be up and down and he failed to shine at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; however, prior to that he was a promising fourth on his reappearance there (7f, AW), and he won off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good) last May; capable if bouncing back to form. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual course winner (7f/8.6f) who was returning from six months off when beaten 2l into fourth of eight behind Bad Habits over here 17 days ago; could fare better in returning blinkers this time. |

4th 1 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Two course wins, including when running on well over this trip (Class 6 classified; 9-4 favourite) last March; now rated 1lb lower than when fourth over C&D (25-1) last October; market should guide on seasonal return. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

All four wins have come over 8.6f/9.5f here and now 7lb lower than when twice runner-up over 7f at this venue last October; his last four efforts raise serious doubts over his ability to capitalise, though. |
