15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |

The most exposed of these and losing run goes back a long way; not in much form of late. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had course form earlier in career but his losing run goes back more than three years and he hasn't been in much form since last autumn, including for new yard; usually wears headgear but not today. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better. |
10/1 |

11th 1 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has inconsistent recent form figures but was hindered by meeting trouble last time when bidding for a Wolverhampton double (6f); scored twice off current mark at Chelmsford (7f/6f) in 2025; fighting chance. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Good second over C&D last month but not quite in the same form back here 17 days ago; likely to run his race and more minor money could be on the cards; cheekpieces now added. |
9/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month but he's taken two backward steps since and losing run is now up to 26; down the list. |
10/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up over 5f here 11 days ago, beaten just over 2l; not quite at the same level here (again 5f) on Thursday; return to 6f will suit though. |
4/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-time winner but the last of them was back in May 2025; didn't run badly in a smallf-field C&D handicap nine days ago but more will be required this time. |
