6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |
4/1 |

9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

Regressive maiden who never looked like justifying favouritism in a weak Chelmsford handicap (Hard Solution third) back from wind surgery early last month; a poor effort since tempers enthusiasm from a wide stall. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

Looked promising as a 2yo but has become very disappointing on the AW since the autumn and is not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft. |

16-race maiden who was C&D third last August on handicap debut but has been running over shorter since October; no persuasive form, particularly as he's 6lb out of the handicap. |
