31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-time AW scorer but sole turf win was three years ago; some creditable efforts on Polytrack for new yard this year but he's been out of sorts at Wolverhampton in last two runs; has some questions to answer and he looks opposable back on turf. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-74; sits below last winning mark and filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield (1m2f) on penultimate start; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) over 8.5f here latest; trainer also saddles Three on Thursday. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time winner on AW at Wolverhampton but 0-16 on turf; handicapper's giving him a chance and, while recent efforts don't suggest he'll take it, he did run well both previous visits here. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
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. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on AW and none since August 2023; thrown in judged on his three turf runs last summer and on AW form up to March, but his more recent efforts are not convincing; not proven on softer than good. |
25/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f wins last year at Pontefract (good) in June and Newcastle (AW) in December; pretty reliable and second of 14 at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on return to turf in March showed again that he should be seriously involved. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Mostly creditable efforts on Tapeta this winter but the handicapper has been winning the argument lately and he returns to turf off 2lb higher than when successful at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last summer; likely to be on the premises but might be vulnerable for the win. |
9/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Course regular whose two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks; another solid effort under a typically patient ride when fourth over the extended 1m4f here last Thursday; likely to be on the premises again. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |
10/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |
