Arrives out of sorts, beating only one in handicap over C&D 35 days ago; others are much preferred. |

10st 1lb |
Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 7f Wolverhampton winner over the winter; not discredited, given he was set a lot to do, when sixth of 11 in 7f Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; considered from an easing mark. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (7f) in January and got back on track when seventh of 12 in another 7f handicap there two weeks ago given he was impeded early in the straight. |

Seven of his nine wins have come over C&D, the latest in January off a 2lb lower mark; down the field twice since (met early trouble on both occasions) and he has a tricky draw today. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years and he hasn't fired yet this year; dropped 10lb as a result but perhaps not ready to capitalise just yet. |
33/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not run on the AW since 2022 and has regressed on turf in recent times, having been rated a stone higher at the start of last season; well held in three runs round his beloved Chepstow this year. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third course win when ending a losing run over C&D 17 days ago (unlucky Vape not far behind in sixth); got messed about a bit herself and has a fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (9) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Quirky type with a patchy record but he justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m2f at Brighton (took strong hold) last time; still looks feasibly treated on that penultimate form and has claims if he can bounce back again. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
unseated rider in paddock, took keen hold, in rear, headway over 4f out, switched to near side over 3f out, hung left over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
5th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17-race maiden who looked a difficult ride when pulling hard here (1m2f classified) last time but he wasn't beaten far in that race, and that was after an eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks earlier; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back in trip. |

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. |
