4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Winner of ten races on the AW including three over C&D; still 1lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest he remains capable of playing a part. |

9st 9lb |
Won twice for Martyn Meade at a much higher level back in 2019, but has failed to score since; always behind at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 40-1, held by Storm Asset) last time; highly unlikely to offer the solution. |

4th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose sole success was when beating two rivals at Chepstow in August 2015; has undergone several long absences in the meantime and although his fourth of nine in a 0-65 amateur riders' event over C&D three weeks ago wasn't a bad effort, others are still much more convincing. |
25/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
14th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to add to his small-field 2yo win in 2015 and has struggled from out of the weights in four amateur jockeys' races this winter; runs off his correct mark today but remains difficult to enthuse over. |
25/1 |
|
10th 10 (7) |
27th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win was in a three-runner juvenile maiden (1m) in 2015, and after another lengthy absence he's struggled back on the Flat in three runs this winter; long way out of the weights on this big step back up in grade and he can only be watched. |

12yo who was disappointing here (1m) last Tuesday but did too much too soon in that amateurs' race; had previously been running consistently well (including over C&D) and he may well bounce back with a bold bid. |

Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
4th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm. |
