14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One-time very smart but now on the downgrade and often slow to break; modest efforts of late and hardly the percentage play. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June and back on song when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; raced wide when close sixth of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last time; should be fine back at 5f; possible player. |

6th 9 (6) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player. |

1st 7 (4) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Usually seen on the AW (3-24) these days; just 1-27 on turf and would have even more to prove were the ground to ease significantly. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner and his most recent success came at Lingfield last November off a 9lb higher mark; however, he hasn't beat a rival home in each of his last two starts and needs the return to the AW to make a difference. |
50/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
6lb lower than for his Lingfield success (7f, AW) last November; should be winning soon but he will need a strong pace at this trip and that isn't assured. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a dangerous mark and he could get away with this trip in a well-run race but he took a nasty fall at Chepstow seven weeks ago and perhaps best watched on the back of that. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest strike-rate but his handicap wins have come on his last two starts, over 5f on Wolverhampton AW and at Bath, when taking advantage of a drop in the weights and the refitting of blinkers; still on a fair mark on past 6f form and bold bid likely on course debut. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
With blinkers belatedly back on he finished off best over 5f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago when they didn't hang about up front; fair shout off 4lb higher should he be as good again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |
20/1 |
