11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained last three wins on Newcastle AW; ran respectably back there on latest start; has bits of encouraging turf form this term but it's over two years since his last success in this sphere. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well suited by conditions and his last-gasp C&D win in March came off just 2lb lower; creditable efforts off his lower turf mark more recently; may find a few of his younger rivals better treated. |

Rated much lower on turf (2-20) than on the AW (5-22); hasn't run at all badly in his last two starts on grass including when eighth of 28 in the Victoria Cup; each-way claims down another 2lb. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On an advancing losing run but he's well handicapped and bubbling under; too free (not for the first time) for a 7lb claimer last time and far from disgraced to finish fourth of eight at Yarmouth; interesting with Cieren Fallon taking over. |
7/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last season but last win was almost two years and he's finished down the field in his last four runs; now drops back in grade but this is competitive and others are more persuasive. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

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 |

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. |

C&D winner; two solid efforts over C&D this year and he won a 1m4f handicap at Kempton in April; last of four over C&D (Dubai Immo third) under Guy Mitchell 21 days ago, but that was a messy affair and this bigger field should help; chance. |

30th May 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Front-runner; wore cheekpieces on last five starts, including three good runs (one 1m win) on Chelmsford Polytrack this February-April but below form there on latest outing; made less of an impact early in 2024 on his two runs here; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer but she came in a below-par fifth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; she could bounce back though with Oisin Murphy now up. |
4/1 |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall. |
12/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

All six wins have been on AW including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for her last success but she returns after 405 days off and this is competitive on her comeback; down the list. |

On the same mark as when running away with a 7f handicap at Southwell in August 2022; rarely seen since and he was well beaten at Chelmsford on last month's return from 13 months off; could take benefit from that run and this should be a better guide as to how much ability remains. |
