10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has six wins on the Flat; sole success in this sphere came at this track (2m5f, good) in August 2024; still 6lb above his winning mark but was still in contention when brought down at the last flight over C&D (good) in April; holds place claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; Fontwell win over nearly 2m6f started that sequence but this season's three runs over hurdles were heavy defeats. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; seven-time C&D winner, but latest success was back in 2024 and he hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles but seemed suited by the new trip when runner-up over C&D (good) in April; should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner in September 2024; the odd good run in early 2025 but this habitual slow-starter always comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (9) |
25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-17, with that win coming off 1lb lower at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September when sporting first-time cheekpieces; respectable effort there over 2m in April but he virtually refused to race on turf two weeks ago and was soon pulled up; best watched. |
9/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in competitive form on the AW but that's more his scene and he was only eighth of 11 on his previous turf start, albeit at a top track; could be given another chance on this surface. |

No problem with conditions and he's run some sound races in defeat on AW this year; might find a few better treated. |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a 1m6f double at Wolverhampton last summer but he's lost his way since and has been tailed off in two AW runs this spring; has lots to prove back on turf and he's 0-10 in this sphere. |

Mixed record on the Flat but he's edging down the weights and stepping up to 2m could prompt extra; considered. |
