19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very productive on AW this year and also scored over hurdles in the spring; suffered a heavy defeat on most recent attempt in this sphere but remains well treated judged on Flat form. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May on third hurdle start and scored on the Flat at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) four weeks ago; in view of his Flat ability he has potential off this opening hurdle mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is 2lb lower than for his last win (8.6f here in June) and fully effective over C&D; not solid but couldn't discount with confidence. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-10 here but scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; campaigned over shorter since March and won again at that venue (8.5f) in June; case to be made now he's back on that winning mark. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Retains a fair chunk of ability aged nine but all of his 2025 AW form is at Wolverhampton, winning twice; not sure quite what to expect back elsewhere. |

All five of his wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off 4lb lower; absent since a modest effort here in June but he has gone well fresh in the past. |

10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the easiest but he does like this track (all five wins have come over C&D) and he again ran well when beaten half a length by Educate here six weeks ago; 2lb better off and this race may be more truly run which should suit him; respected. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Two wins and 11 places from 22 starts on AW in Britain; ran only twice on turf; Flat pedigree; best watched on stable/hurdles debut after a long absence. |

29th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Very consistent having made the frame in her last eight starts; usually seen over further and both wins here in the autumn came over an extra furlong, but she was beaten only a neck over C&D on her penultimate start; should go well again. |

Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher in this race 12 months and has claims if judged on that performance but has been in steady decline in recent years, as evidenced by his recent Flat form in basement-grade events. |

4th 6 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-28 on the Flat but he has finished runner-up five times, including at Lingfield last month; solid effort in a classified event on the AW there two weeks ago (1m4f) and makes each-way appeal. |

4th 3 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

0-27 on the Flat and although he was runner-up here on the turf track (11.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago, he does not appeal for win purposes. |

Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |

8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is a five-time winner at Wolverhampton; close second, clear of remainder, in C&D classified race last time; leading claims. |
5/6 |
