11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |

Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Triple AW winner (including here) who was on a long losing run until popping up in a Windsor classified (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; had previously looked a little unlucky when second in a similar event over C&D in March; chance. |
6/1 |

Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |

Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turf winner (8.5f, soft) for R Hannon as a 2yo; missed 2022; his two best efforts for new yard have come over 7f at Wolverhampton; chance if at that level but he's been below par the last twice. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
24th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winner on soft ground for Richard Hannon as a 2yo before missing a chunk of his career; hasn't had a lot of luck with one thing and another on the AW this year and returns to turf on a fair mark if the first-time headgear helps. |
6/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Below best over 1m on sole Polytrack start but in good form over 7f either side and found only a very interesting rival too good at Wolverhampton ten days ago; should be right there if handling this surface as well. |

Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |

9st 9lb |
Sole success in 14 starts came at Windsor (1m, soft) in the summer of 2021 when trained by Richard Hannon but not shown much since returning for this yard in May last year; finished tailed off at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month and cheekpieces will need to make a dramatic difference. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

26th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, ridden prominently for those successes, and now 8lb lower than for the latest of them; not hit top gear in three runs for this yard and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend; still needs a market check with blinkers tried for the first time. |
12/1 |

8th 11 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over C&D in 2022; promising start for new yard after Christmas but he ran no race at Southwell (mixed record there but does handle the surface) ten days ago and now has the hood discarded; on a good mark at present and may well return to form back here. |

11th 2 (5) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Prominent racer whose three career wins have come over 6f at Wolverhampton (when trained by Ivan Furtado); shaped nicely under his optimum conditions on stable debut ten days ago but he has a bit more to prove at this venue; one to keep an eye on in the betting. |
