25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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 AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |
14/1 |

11th 14 (12) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

His last win was in October 2024 and he's been well held in most of his runs this year; on reduced mark but this looks tough back up in grade and others are preferred. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His form can be up and down and he failed to shine at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; however, prior to that he was a promising fourth on his reappearance there (7f, AW), and he won off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good) last May; capable if bouncing back to form. |

9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |

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. |

5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

Won twice for Martyn Meade at a much higher level back in 2019, but has failed to score since; always behind at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 40-1, held by Storm Asset) last time; highly unlikely to offer the solution. |

Won twice in 2019 but he's not added to his tally since, often well backed too; others look safer. |

Hasn't been in top form this year and finished eighth of nine over C&D last week; others appeal more. |

Poor, regressive maiden who hasn't gone close to making the frame in a long time; can't be recommended. |
