1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |
13/2 |

6th 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
5f win at Chester (good) last summer came off a 4lb lower mark; encouraging return to action here (5.7f, good) 17 days ago and should go well if building on that first run for 199 days. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time winner; winless this year but he's been running well for the most part and didn't get the best of runs when fifth of ten at Nottingham (5f) last time; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Triple Tapeta winner who is still lightly raced on turf and was successful in this sphere (5f, soft) last spring; mixed record in his four runs this year but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Resumed winning ways on Lingfield AW (5f) in March and backed it up with a very good second of five in another 5f handicap there 13 days ago; this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer who capitalised upon good mark when winning from stall 1 over C&D six weeks ago; only 2lb higher today but this race is competitive and others appeal more. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
13th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Wolverhampton winner in the autumn but not at her best on her last four starts; slipping in the weights but others still make more appeal. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner in the autumn but her form has cooled since the turn of the year and she'll probably need a career-best performance to have any chance off her current mark. |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |

Well treated on his old form but he's not won since June 2022 and has finished down the field in most of his runs this year; others preferred. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

19-race maiden who was well beaten in four starts for Adrian Wintle last term; didn't shape badly when sixth at Chelmsford on his first start for this stable last month having been off for nearly a year; may come on for that. |
