6th 10 (11) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up sprinter who boasts a good record over C&D; things haven't panned out his way in a couple of runs since wind surgery but he's well treated now and quite capable if things fall right. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C&D in April; this three-time C&D winner is capable of having a big say. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been at 6f on AW; consistent sort who ran his usual game race when third of eight at Southwell (6f) in April; has had wind surgery since and must be of interest if it sparks any improvement. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins on the AW, the latest at Lingfield (7f) in April; twice well held since despite just a 2lb rise and others make greater appeal. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been on AW; raced too freely on return to action when sixth of seven over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago and needs to settle better to give himself a chance. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen but he's a dual AW winner who is well handicapped on his second at Doncaster (1m, good) last summer; has run well when fresh in the past and he needs watching in market on reappearance; refused to enter stalls in last intended start. |
11/2 |
|
8 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have been on AW, latest over C&D off 4lb higher in March; ran best race since when 3l second to a well-backed subsequent winner at Kempton last week (7f; blinkers on for second time); headgear retained; chance. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner who was a creditable third in classified event at Wolverhampton (5f) two weeks ago; this step back up in trip is no problem but he's 0-17 on turf and was tailed off at Doncaster on his penultimate run. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however. |
16/1 |
|
16th 14 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had dropped 5lb lower than for his sole success when second of eight at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month, but finished over 5l behind the winner who has since been well beaten; others preferred. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner on fast ground 12 months ago, when 5lb higher; best two recent efforts have been when fourth at Brighton (6f, good), the latest from this mark; cheekpieces now accompany tongue-tie; each-way claims. |
11/2 |

1 (1) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Might not be totally straightforward but he won a shade cosily at Windsor (6f) last June and it was a good effort when fourth of 12 over C&D (also good to firm) on his penultimate run; similar ground was blamed for a below-par run last time, though, which raises a question; still one of the more likely ones. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record is only 2-36, the wins in AW handicaps in 2023 and 2024; has several pieces of classified form, beaten only 2l on turf last time, but again faces threats from class-droppers. |
9/2 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

2-35 with both wins coming on the AW; return to this trip shouldn't be a problem, but others are preferred for win purposes; cheekpieces return. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |
16/1 |
|
5 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |
6/1 |
|
7 (11) |
22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |
16/1 |
