All of his eight wins have been here and last week's well-held third was after a lengthy break; thereabouts. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All of his eight wins have been at this track, five over today's distance; has finished runner-up in his last two handicaps here and must come into consideration. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at Wolverhampton and he went close in a classified event there (7f) last Tuesday; record of 0-12 on turf but he has placed form in this sphere and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player. |

9st 1lb |
Poorly drawn when down the field over C&D two weeks ago but she had earlier run well for second in a 0-60 here; better drawn today and she should have a big run in her. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Six-time winner who is exposed and was always ideally placed when runner-up here a month ago; still unlikely to be far away. |

Won 7f Lingfield classified in February and was placed in that grade two starts ago but she's fully exposed and, on balance, others in this line-up look stronger. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Should be well treated but he hasn't offered a great deal since January; this trip perhaps more suitable than the 5.7f he tackled at Bath on his return from a break four weeks ago; still looks opposable. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

All wins on AW and his best turf form has come on good ground; lowly mark but others have more compelling claims. |

10th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on the AW and 8lb lower than for the latest; promising return when beaten under a length into third of six at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January, but hasn't built on it; switch to blinkers needs to have a positive effect. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended losing run in classified race here (7.3f, good) in June and was close second in Bath handicap (1m, good) nine days ago but this season's record is very mixed and he'd appeal more on better ground. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming. |

8st 9lb |
Sole turf win in a classified event on this track (extended 5f) in June 2025; finished close up in a similar event here two starts ago and although he was off his game over this C&D in June he looks quite interesting back from a break under Warren Fentiman, 3-6 for the yard. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Not the most consistent and officially rated 4lb inferior to stablemate Mister Sandman, but his sole turf success came in this race last year when sent off 14-1; interesting with the cheekpieces back on. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A dual C&D winner in 2025 (including this race) but he arrives well below his best, only sixth of nine in C&D handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three wins and three seconds from eight runs here and he will be happier sprinting again having not seen out 1m last month; time has looked to be catching up this year, however, and Legendsoftheland appears his trainer's best chance. |

8st 10lb |
Turf wins at about 5f, here and in a classified event at Bath in June; mixed since the latter win but he wasn't far away in a better race than this over C&D in August (hood left off, now returns) under Myla Coppins and has claims on that form. |

Just one win from 25 starts but that was over C&D and he ran well to finish fourth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) on his penultimate run; has been a bit up and down in five runs this season but his best form form puts him in the picture. |

His sole win from 24 starts came over Bath's extended 5f last May; has the same mark today and some minor honours this term, but the switch from cheekpieces to today's visor needs to make him step back up a notch. |
