11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many. |
5/2 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in eight starts, though it looked as though he would apprciate the return to this trip when fifth of ten on his Wolverhampton return (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; still needs a bit more, though. |
5/1 |

3 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and lightly raced since a promising 2yo debut; out of the frame in two starts over 7f here in the spring (in cheekpieces, now removed); returns from another 104 days off and only of interest if backed. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Knocking at the door over 6f and 7f on AW this year; won't mind getting back on turf and he should give it another good go from the front. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins and a second from nine visits to Redcar; looked as though the run would bring him on when in midfield at Thirsk 19 days ago; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he also didn't prove the easiest to catch right; needs to hit the ground running after 165 days off. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |
4/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made good progress last season, collecting three 6f wins along the way; just a respectable third of seven when back on turf last month, after a break, but might come on for the run and remains on a good mark. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since a defeat 100 days ago that took his AW record to 0-5; three-time turf winner and ran well at Leicester on most recent attempt in this sphere; returns to a favourable scenario. |

2nd 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative. |
25/1 |
|
9 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
6f AW winner in 2024 when trained by Clive Cox; on a good mark now but he's not been threatening in recent starts; back up to 6f; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 13 (11) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
6f AW winner for Clive Cox in 2024; mainly below-par this season; well handicapped now; others appeal more. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Only 1-19 but the win came over C&D in late 2024 and recent respectable runs have been over 8.6f/7f (in an eyeshield latterly); could have a say with Jack Dace taking off 5lb. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (16) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win from 15 runs came on Tapeta at Southwell (6f) last November; a bit below peak form when last in action in July, third of five in a modest five-runner Class 6 handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 9-2). |
25/1 |
|
7 (7) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win came at Southwell (6f, AW) in November; ran below market expectations when fourth in a Brighton classified (6f, good to firm; 7-4) last time but she had excuses (saddle slipped and was struck into); worst two runs came on testing ground but they were at 1m. |
