16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who's regressed since two victories last August, latterly when behind four of tonight's rivals over C&D; only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford handicap (5f) last August but he's 0-9 since and hasn't threatened in classified events in his last three runs; has good draw back on Tapeta but he needs to raise his game. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time C&D winner who's well drawn for one happiest up front; only won one of her last 29 starts, which include 18 defeats at 6-1 or shorter, and she has a bit more on coming out of handicap company, but she usually gives her running round here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hard to knock her consistency since winning over C&D last June but her losing run is up to 22; should run her race again but more minor money could be here best hope. |
7/1 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Hard to knock on the consistency front and Saturday's third over C&D (visored first time) was another solid effort; set to run her race once again but it might not be enough to end a losing run which stands at 21. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since dropped to 0-50 classified company (2161), her latest win coming over C&D 19 days ago; needs to show she can mix it back in a handicap, but a player if she can. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Broke her duck at the 20th attempt when keeping on to score in a similar event at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last month; blew any chance of following up back there when slowly away latest and not written off if she avoids a repeat. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Having his 15th start of the year already; still 5lb above his last winning mark and although he has won over 1m on the AW, 7f may suit him better. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his fifth success when pulling 4l clear at Lingfield (7f, good) last month and he's finished third in both starts since, including over 1m at Kempton 15 days ago; each-way chance if seeing out this slightly longer trip. |
3/1 |

3rd 14 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner; arrives in form, winning easily over 7f at Lingfield (good ground); solid third at Brighton 12 days ago and returning to 1m is no issue; this is a step up in class though. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Still a maiden but there isn't much between him and Arlington on C&D form in October and although he was beaten before the 6f trip became an issue at Chelmsford in February he can't be ruled out on return from a break. |
15/2 |
|
6th 10 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden; often thereabouts in 5f handicaps on turf and the AW but he has ground to make up on Forever Noah on their recent 5f run here and the return to 6f, for the first time since his debut, raises a big question. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Longstanding maiden but he's been in the first three on 14 occasions; ran respectably in a classified on his return from a break over C&D two weeks ago and holds place claims once again. |
