27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |

6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |

Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 6f wins at Lingfield (AW) early in the year and he went down narrowly over 7f in his hat-trick bid; his three runs since were disappointing, all at 7-1 or shorter; perhaps excused latest (5f after four months off) though and he's worth a second look. |
7/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins at Lingfield (AW) early in the year and he only went down narrowly over 7f in his hat-trick bid; last two runs were disappointing though and he returns from a break over 5f, a trip at which he is 0-6. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Recent soft-ground defeat easily ignored; had won both C&D starts earlier, getting an enterprising ride when beating Inaam in February before following up in March; fair effort over 7f subsequently but the return to 6f on this track can suit; Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended her 4yo campaign with a win at Newcastle (5f; Class 6); low-key return from an eight-month absence at Pontefract two weeks ago but this is weaker and she's still on a feasible mark. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
26th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Dual turf winner who had slipped a fair way in the weights prior to maintaining unbeaten record at Newcastle in September; off since but has gone well fresh and still well treated on best form; can't rule out in an open event. |

All three wins on Tapeta, the latest over 5f here a year ago; now 6lb lower, but he has finished out of the frame in all eight starts since that success so doubts over whether he can take advantage. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |

Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

9st 2lb |
C&D winner; knocking at the door at Wolverhampton of late, second last month and then running a fine race for third back there 11 days ago when setting a strong pace and only picked off late; well drawn and another big run looks assured. |
7/1 |

3rd 10 (6) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Wins have come mainly from the front and he came back to form when making most behind Global Effort over C&D last time (0-50 classified); is 2lb better off with that one and has a handy draw. |

2nd 10 (2) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

C&D win last summer at this level; chased home My Turn Now at Chelmsford in November but he's not been at that level on his last three starts; well drawn but needs a revival. |
