24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running 1m Kempton wins in 2024; belatedly returned to form when narrowly denied there (7f) in December but didn't come close to backing that up over 1m last week; blinkers are refitted now. |
11/1 |

11th 1 (9) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running C&D wins in 2024; little to enthuse over last year until a prominent market position correctly predicted a return to form when beaten a head over 7f here last month; up 3lb but still below his winning marks and looks a leading contender despite possible pace pressure. |

Won over 1m on the AW last October but appears to have badly lost his way; opposable. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winning return from short break at Southwell (7f, AW) in March and went close at Nottingham (8.5f, good) on her next start; came home nicely when fourth behind three more prominently ridden rivals at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago and should appreciate returning to this trip; on the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most racing over further and an easy 7f is a bare minimum but she's returned from a short break with two solid efforts under Liam Wright; up another 2lb for her Nottingham near-miss but has to enter calculations. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Bath (1m, good to firm) last August and she's added two AW wins since including a brave success in a tight finish at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; only 2lb higher back on turf and she's strongly respected back up in trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-21 (Flat/hurdles) but went close over 1m after missing the break at Kempton in March; didn't get home having failed to settle over 1m2f at Bath (firm) 20 days ago but should be happier over this shorter trip; tongue-tie returns and she won't mind any rain (runner-up in both starts on ground slower than good to soft) |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-20 (Flat/hurdles) but she caught the eye after a slow start at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and was narrowly beaten after completely missing the break at Kempton (1m, AW) 35 days ago; strong claims over this longer trip if exiting the stalls on terms. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
19-race maiden but she's on a reduced mark and was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; that was an eye-catching effort after a slow start and she's an interesting contender back up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Course winner who returned from five months off with a very good second of nine over C&D last month, faring best of those held up; a player nudged up 1lb. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade. |
12/1 |

7 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has fared reasonably well since blinkers were fitted and again competitive at Brighton (7f) recently; has form over 1m but it's been a long time since he ran over this far. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only start here produced a second over C&D (good to soft) in October and he got off the mark in a Lingfield classified (1m, AW) in January; not quite matched that in three starts since and yet to prove he's effective on quick turf; still can't be ruled out in a moderate contest. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by switchback tracks and is 1-1 in this company following a 1m win here in January; suffered an overreach over C&D next time but still has stamina to prove back up in trip after an ordinary effort at Kempton (1m) latest. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
13th time lucky when landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month; flopped back in a handicap there (1m2f) last time but he had an overreach on his right fore and he could bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |
16/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing. |

First piece of worthwhile form was her recent decisive win over C&D and can only presume the heavy ground made all the difference; penalised accordingly but unexposed under these conditions. |
