1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |
4/1 |

8th 20 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has won three 6f events on AW since August, one here; last run at Pontefract forgiven as he was drawn wide but he was also below par here the time before when behind Mount Ruapehu. |
8/1 |

13th 11 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Prominent racer who has won three 6f events on AW since August; not at his best at Southwell last month and he has a wide stall to overcome returned to 5f. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |

9st 7lb |
Won a Chester seller (7f, good) for Kevin Coleman in June last year, but patchy form in seven starts for this yard and could only manage fifth of six over C&D 11 days ago; others preferred. |

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Lingfield in November; well beaten in his three runs since and has more to prove than some of these. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Near miss at Wolverhampton last week (7f), keeping on well having encountered traffic problems; a clear run is no guarantee here either but he's handicapped to win. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Looked as good as ever when keeping on well for narrow win at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March but his latest AW run was disappointing and his turf strike-rate is modest (1-15); others preferred. |
10/1 |

9th 1 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bounced back from Chelmsford flop (1m6f, Polytrack) to win at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) last time; his last three wins have come there but he ran well on his previous AW outing here and is entitled to respect. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Just poor form in four races, tailed off on nursery debut at Chelmsford in December; needs cheekpieces to have a transformative effect. |

11th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced filly whose peak RPR, albeit a modest one, came at this track (midfield over 7f); bred to stay this longer distance and looks open to improvement back here on handicap debut. |

3rd Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to get heavily involved in six starts; showed minor promise at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) on his penultimate start; sported blinkers when beaten 10l back there latest; may improve if another change of headgear (eyeshield) and a 2lb drop helps. |
16/1 |

11th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Five-race maiden; ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (handicap debut; two places behind Rising Force) last month; switch to blinkers may squeeze out progress from him; one to consider. |

0-9; fourth in a classified at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; failed to back that up here 16 days later, but that was 1m4f and his best result (last January) was over this C&D; inconsistent but a case can be made. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |

Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) and subsequent defeats have come in better races than this; didn't run at all badly in the latest at Kelso (2m5f); back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared. |
