Eight of his nine wins have been on turf but he was comfortably held back on the grass here two weeks ago. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut in April, but didn't run badly when third of six over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; 1lb lower now and Ashley Lewis claims his useful 5lb; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton in March and she's gone close back at this track (5f/5,6f, firm) in last two runs; only 1lb higher than for her runner-up effort three weeks ago and she should make another bold bid. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who won on her reappearance at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month; bounced back from a lesser effort with a good run here over 5f on Monday; leading contender. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of Bath form but mostly over the extended 5f, including three wins; below par returned to this venue last time after two sound AW performances at Wolverhampton. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |
11/4 |
