17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |

9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

Three-time C&D winner who has returned from a break with two competitive shows, the latest here; hard to knock. |

Three-time C&D winner (firm/good) who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) last September and was runner-up there (1m, AW) last month on his reappearance; has the same mark as last time and he ticks lots of boxes. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
8th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her. |
5/1 |

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. |

Dual course winner (7f/8.6f) who was returning from six months off when beaten 2l into fourth of eight behind Bad Habits over here 17 days ago; could fare better in returning blinkers this time. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out of form on AW in early part of this year and his two recent turf runs were no better than respectable; continues to slide down the weights but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced). |

8st 11lb |
Veteran who has had several chances off basement marks since his latest win in November 2022 and was tailed off when last in action a fortnight ago; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers today. |

Lowly rated Flat maiden who struggled (albeit in much better race than this) on hurdling debut in March; difficult to enthuse over. |

Low-level maiden who's been tried over 5f-8.7f, and in various headgear, without joy; the lowest rated of all and would be a surprise winner. |
33/1 |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Did not show a great deal off basement marks in his first three starts for Ivan Furtado and has now been unplaced all 14 starts. |

3rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

13-race maiden who has yet to be placed and he's finished last after slow starts in two AW runs (80-1) for current yard; opposable. |
