7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded ahead of a fairly encouraging reappearance at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April but disappointing when seventh of nine at Lingfield (1m2f) 20 days ago on his first run on good to firm; that surface might be an excuse and he's now tried in cheekpieces; far from ruled out, albeit still needing to prove his stamina. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form for Denis Quinn in recent months including wins at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in December and over C&D in January; closely matched with Wonder on a couple of bits of form and respected on first start for John Ryan (same owner); stable also runs Tommy's Promise. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Made it two wins in a row when edging out Wonder over C&D last month; extended his run of good form when second of ten at Wolverhampton (1m4f) four weeks ago; should figure again. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled on hurdling/stable at Newbury in December but his last Flat run resulted in a brave win at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in the autumn; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's in the mix back from another break; had a second wind operation since his last run. |
11/2 |
|
4 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Had a good year, including a breakthrough win at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; creditable second at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
7/2 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Belatedly opened his account in Chelmsford contest (1m2f) in August; couple of subsequent defeats confirm his limitations and take strike-rate to just 1-23; not the percentage call. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 21st attempt in an amateur riders' race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but only fifth of nine behind Royal Pleasure at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; these conditions may suit him better having been placed in one go over this C&D. |
7/1 |
|
5 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark at the 21st attempt when readily seeing off six rivals in an amateurs' race at Chelmsford 13 days ago; up 3lb but comes here at the top of his game. |

Now 311 over C&D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Registered a 1m2f double on good to firm last July, with the first leg at this track; off the boil in the autumn (with cheekpieces added on final start) but one result is that she's now just 1lb above her last winning mark. |
5/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Completed a 1m2f double on turf in July but has regressed the last twice; seems to have a difficult task back on AW, being 8lb higher than last attempt in this sphere. |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
