21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list. |
8/1 |

6th 11 (4) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
6f win here in January and two respectable efforts have followed; won't mind going back up in trip but this is a stronger race than he has been contesting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Back to form after wind surgery, third at Southwell in December before a 6f win at that track last month; bumped into a well-handicapped opponent over C&D 17 days ago (Woodhay Whisper third and 3lb worse off); solid chance off an unchanged mark. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

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. |

3rd 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some ability on his second start but his most recent effort at Kempton last November (handicap debut) suggested he will need some improvement to defy this 2lb lower mark; wears a first-time hood. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
5th 17 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tailed off on heavy ground at Nottingham last October when last seen but showed some good form last season, including when winning at Nottingham (1m2f, good), and he returns on a competitive mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
14 (3) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D win off 6lb lower in July (good ground); solid efforts on his last two starts and won't be inconvenienced by the forecast significant rain; others perhaps better treated. |
10/1 |
|
12 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who stayed there over 1m2f at Nottingham in July and only collared late on by a 3yo at Lingfield last time (AW); has form here and should run well. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has returned to 6f for last three races and produced figures of 121; had his race won some way out here four weeks ago (on good) and should go well again despite the 6lb rise. |
