17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who is without a win on turf since June 2021; it's possible he doesn't want soft/heavy ground nowadays; however, having dropped down the weights he's run well to make the frame on grass the last twice and might not be far away if handling conditions. |

4th 7 (1) |
7th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who is usually ridden by Mia Nicholls, whose brother Jack now takes over; ran encouragingly at Ripon (5f, good) most recently but it's three years since his last win on turf; others preferred. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who has been beaten on his last 11 starts; however, he was in fair form on AW this spring prior to Chelmsford a fortnight ago, when suffering interference at the start, and he's an each-way possible off a reduced mark. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives on a long losing run but he posted a good second of eight in C&D handicap three weeks ago; he can race off the same mark here so needs considering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run of form came to an end when down the field at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; his most recent run at this track saw him finish a good second though and he has dropped to a career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 11 starts for this yard but he has been much more competitive since dropping into Class 6 events; repeat of his recent efforts would see him involved but he is one of a number in the field who like to be on the sharp end. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner here (6f/7f) in 2020; has gone close a couple of times lately, as when beaten a short head at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in July, but losing run up to 24; others look more solid. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |
16/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
It's now 24 starts since his last victory though he shaped as if the run was needed after five months off when eighth of ten in 6f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to build on it. |
66/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
18 months since his last win but he is fully effective over C&D and he ran well for third here when last seen in January; this might not be the time to catch him. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |
20/1 |

11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |

25th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not as good as he was but he has run a couple of good races over 5f on Tapeta this spring; has C&D form but others make more appeal. |

20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
He has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran creditably in a 5f seller at Wolverhampton ten days ago (first-time visor, retained); a bit more will be needed back in a handicap. |
