27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |

All six wins have been here and at Wolverhampton, including this race 12 months ago when 6lb lower; close fourth here last time when drawn wide but in a smaller field than today and now he's out in stall 12; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and he came in a below-par seventh of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; yet to score on turf too. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

Won two Class 5s before a strong-finishing third at this level here last time having been last at one point; however, stall 11 could be a killer. |

3rd 9 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |

Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir. |

Five wins here, two of which were over today's distance; landed his first turf win in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June latest; withdrawn (upset in the stalls) five weeks ago; work to do back in a handicap. |

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form. |
12/1 |

10th 4 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner in the autumn but not at her best on her last four starts; slipping in the weights but others still make more appeal. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner in the autumn but her form has cooled since the turn of the year and she'll probably need a career-best performance to have any chance off her current mark. |
