30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three 1m wins this season and he went desperately close at Chester 16 days ago (7.5f, soft); only 1lb higher here and Ben Curtis is a positive booking; one to take seriously. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All of his eight wins have been at 1m and latest was in blinkers at Newbury (good) in May; only 1lb higher than for that success but he's gone off the boil in last two starts and was a remote third over 7f here last time; down the list. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Stands his racing really well and as good as ever when winning an apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m, good) last month; respectable second on firm going at Bath a week later; below-form fifth over 1m2f back at Newbury 15 days ago but this is more his trip. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Ended 2025 with victory at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December and largely in good nick this term, a close fifth in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap two weeks ago; not ruled out off a 2lb lower mark. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fine on Tapeta but all his wins have come on Polytrack, including twice last spring at Chelmsford; still dangerous when dipping into this company but he's unpredictable now and 7f round here is enough of a test. |
7/1 |
|
11th 12 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Capable on his day and 1lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and recent form has an uneven look to it; others more compelling. |
40/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win. |

8th 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
12-race maiden; kept on for modest fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (7f) last month but a lesser effort followed a fortnight ago (6f); blinkers refitted today; not the obvious answer. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
10th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights but he's still a maiden after 11 runs and has a record of 07579804 in handicaps at up to 1m; was never involved after another slow start at Brighton last time and has plenty to prove on this return to sprinting. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
All three wins on turf came on soft/heavy; it's been a while since his last success but he may be able to exploit this plummeting mark when he gets his conditions. |
12/1 |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Last two wins have come over C&D and he is 13lb lower than for the latest in May 2024 (0-24 since); has won fresh in the past and has run well on good to firm ground, but a softer surface suits him better. |
16/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

His losing run is gathering momentum but he was back near his recent best when second of ten over 6f here four weeks ago; no problem with the return to 7f but others appeal more for win purposes. |

Little between him and Inaam on 7f form here in February; arrived late on the scene to end losing run over that trip next time; fair runner-up over 6f on turf in April but this sharp test is a different matter. |

12yo who ended a long losing run at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month but that was a narrow success over 7f and he's taken backward steps in both runs since; others are preferred. |

31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Shaped better when having a troubled run at Chepstow last week but he has something to find on these terms and was never in contention in a similar C&D race in July. |

8th 13 (13) |
24th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Over three years since the last of his six wins and he has to bounce back from a low-key run at Bath on Saturday; others look much safer. |
33/1 |
Verdict
The veteran Suzi’s Connoisseur looks more solid than most, while Nubough has claims on the pick of his AW form in recent months. VOODOO RAY still has time on his side and he gets the tentative vote in an unappealing betting event.[Paul Smith]
