5-28 on AW compared to 1-17 on turf; may have needed his only start this summer (50-1, turf) and he's well handicapped given some of last year's AW and turf form, so he needs a second look in the returning cheekpieces which did the trick for him off this mark over C&D last December. |

5th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run goes back two years; has mostly run over further for this yard but he's run respectably in defeat at about 1m5f of late and refitting cheekpieces could help, having run three of his best races in them. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at this track; won two 1m4f handicaps on AW two winters back; three minor honours last winter and a respectable show 12 days ago after 215-day absence; assuming he can build on that, he's in the mix. |

Won two 1m4f handicaps off lowly marks in 2021-22 AW season but may be better suited by staying trips now and was out of form when last seen last spring. |

A three-time C&D winner but he's not the most reliable and resumed from six months off with a below-par seventh at Kempton (1m4f) last time; others appeal more. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

29th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Defied long absence to win on stable debut (1m6f, AW) last November and returned from break with close third at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; has gone very close over 2m in the past; one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (8) |
31st May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Long absence before Wolverhampton win (1m6f, AW) in November on stable debut; below form at Chelmsford in December after racing too freely; lightly raced but his solitary run on turf was satisfactory debut in 2019. |
9/1 |
|
6 (3) |
17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from long absence to win quite comfortably at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on stable debut in November; well below that form after racing too freely over same C&D in December and not an easy one to predict here but today's trip/surface combination won't be a problem and he's still lightly raced for his age. |

10th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good second at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) on her penultimate run but she's an inconsistent maiden who was disappointing at Yarmouth 25 days ago; record now stands at 0-11 and she needs to step up again on this drop back in trip. |

Inconsistent and unraced beyond 2m4f but was found to be lame when well beaten here last month and he scored at Bangor (2m3f, good) the time before; won here (2m, good) last season and not written off today. |
7/1 |

Has very mixed record since winning four-runner juvenile hurdle here a year ago but doubled his tally with hard-fought success at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month and has the services of Sean Bowen again here. |

Unplaced in all 12 starts and she's very difficult to recommend, for all that her best run came over C&D. |

27th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Seemed to run well (66-1 fifth) over C&D in November but has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent runs and looks a poor maiden on balance; far from solid. |
