1st 2 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Drawn wide back up to 6f last time and that run is best overlooked; previously in good form over C&D, winning at a short price late last month in 0-55 company, but this race is stronger and he's 6lb higher. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded his eighth AW win when coming from last to first at Southwell (5f) last week; 5lb higher under a penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate. |

Four wins last year, starting with this race (good to firm), and he's been running well in the main on Southwell AW this spring; solid claims. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden but he's reached the frame in sprint handicaps on AW in his last four starts; remains unexposed on turf and he could go well again off a sliding mark back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-12 overall but has made the frame on the last three of his four starts for Tony Carroll, most recently when fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month; also suited by Tapeta and continues to edge down the weights; considered. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden; not beaten far over 6f on his penultimate start but he failed to build on it back at 5f 18 days ago; stable also run Wedgewood. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in five consecutive 0-65 handicaps over 6f on the AW between September and January, but not fared in better since and now 0-14; didn't run very well in one previous go over this far. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when runner-up five consecutive times (once here) over 6f in September-January, and last month's 5f fourth at Chelmsford came in a slightly better race than this; worth persisting with over this trip. |
7/4 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
12-race maiden but six times a runner-up, including over C&D; his form dipped at Southwell eight weeks ago but it will be no surprise to see him bounce back quickly. |

5th 9 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who ran well when fourth of 13 at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) a week ago, but her losing run is up to 26 and she's unlikely to get her own way in this field. |
9/1 |
|
4th 15 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Winless since 2024 and she has failed to beat a rival in last three starts including over 5f here (firm) last week; not hard to look elsewhere. |
