2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and latest four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) in December but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs and needs to bounce back near his best. |
14/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and last four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) last month but he flopped when favourite over C&D ten days ago; a switch to more prominent tactics may have backfired in that race but he needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort. |
9/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form in refitted visor on Tapata when last seen in spring, winning three in a row (1m-8.6f); has fitness and stamina to prove today but the return to turf on the slow side of good won't be a problem. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who returned to form when third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and built on it to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; he should be fine on today's better ground and is respected up just 3lb. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners). |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Brighton in May (1m2f, good) and she made the breakthrough over that C&D (good to firm) next time; not bred for this far but she promises to get the trip; one of the more likely ones. |
9/2 |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
0-14, but has made the frame ten times as when beaten less than a length into second of seven over C&D (good) last time; can miss the break, but a player if getting away on terms. |
9/4 |

2nd 6 (3) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
13-race maiden who usually loses ground at the start; however, recovered well from particularly slow start when strong-finishing fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this month and looks well worth another crack at 1m2f. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won five times on the AW since October, most recently at Chelmsford (1m, AW; second has won since) in March, and another solid effort at Southwell last month; 0-9 on grass but he's on a much lower mark on this surface. |
5/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |

Ultra-consistent in AW handicaps (34144271121131); raised 6lb for last month's Chelmsford success (1m, Polytrack), but is the only previous course winner in the field which he did over this trip in August; one of five runners for the yard; much respected. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Two wins for Peter Niven this year, the second of them a wide-margin success over C&D in April; unplaced in two turf runs for Roger Fell but could fare better back on AW. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (14) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins at around 1m on AW this year; 1-22 on turf but he was only beaten a short head at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April (his final start for Peter Niven); seventh of 12 in this grade at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) on stable debut 22 days ago; place chance. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track (6f/1m), with the most recent coming in October; below his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) last time but that was his first start for 75 days and he may come on for it; can be competitive back to 7f. |

Limited maiden for two yards (5.7f-8.7f) who's been off for three months having refused to enter the stalls when last due to run (28-1 at the time); hard to make a case for him back on turf. |

Often slowly away; beaten 6l when third of ten in a handicap over this C&D last month but she never featured in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) nine days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
