8lb lower than when twice runner-up on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f/9.5f) early last year, but is now 0-15 and has never tackled this far before; others preferred. |

14-race maiden; not beaten far at Lingfield (1m2f) this month, his second run after a layoff, and now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D in March 2024; not ruled out. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Outstayed in 2m novice hurdle three weeks ago; has form at up to 1m3f on the Flat; still seeking first win for current yard but went close at Bath in April; new trip presents a question mark. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 |
8th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Had 1-14 strike-rate on the Flat but showed some fairly useful form at up to 1m3f; his tendency to race too freely is a worry on this hurdling debut but he's a half-brother to smart hurdler Golden Ace; interesting to see how he fares. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |

8 (6) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

On the downgrade for this yard since missing a year; running fairly well on Wolverhampton AW (always liked it there) of late, often in races not run to suit, but only holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (6) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Three-time C&D winner who's getting on and been on the downgrade since missing a year; found his level again lately but is some way down the pecking order. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Used to stay this sort of trip; very low-key start for this yard but has gradually found his level and was blinkered when third in 9.5f course selling handicap ten days ago; cheekpieces, previously worn without success, are refitted. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ideally suited by going around a left-hand bend, with his six wins coming here and at Wolverhampton; 10lb higher than for his win in this race last year and the widest draw isn't a big selling point today; cheekpieces join the hood today. |
10/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over C&D (good) last month; used up energy to get across to lead from a wide draw when fifth of ten over 5f here a fortnight ago and can be treated as if still in good form. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over 6f here (good) last month; 5f on ground slower than good also suits but he's not ideally drawn and recent 4lb rise demands even more from him. |
