9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His mark continues to fall and he has lots of good form on soft and heavy ground; won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but this 9yo has struggled more recently and he needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won narrowly off his lower AW mark in March; returned from layoff with down-the-field AW run this month but combination of refitted cheekpieces and heavy rain could prompt a more dynanic performance. |
14/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won by a head at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but he's been off since finishing down the field over C&D behind Saisons d'Or in May; best watched. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |
7/1 |
|

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on the AW include three at this track (6f/7f), the last win coming off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; ran well when runner-up here 16 days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on the AW including three over 6f/7f here; still 2lb above his highest winning mark and will need things to pan out right from the outside stall, but one for the shortlist nonetheless. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run up to 14, but three of his five wins have come over C&D and he performed much better when second of 11 back here a fortnight ago; a player from the same mark. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner in 2023; well held in two starts since returning from a 364-day break, including here 26 days ago; dropped another 2lb. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran three-time C&D winner; off 12 months before a well-held fifth of seven in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |
4/1 |
