1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who is versatile ground-wise; well handicapped on best form last season but he was out of sorts in the autumn and needs a major revival after six months off. |

Three handicap wins (one on soft) at 1m2f, the latest in July 2024; 11lb lower today but he's basically gone off the boil this season. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Fair on the Flat for Ed Walker last year; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn (failed to complete consecutive races) but his run at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |

0-8 on Flat, with plenty of fair form (best effort at 1m2f); however, she refused at the third flight on stable/hurdle debut in November and was pulled up before two out when 66-1 at Newbury one month later. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 7-20 on AW and 2-3 since wearing visor; midfield in notable handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) most recently, shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; could go well in the retained headgear. |
6/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
2-2 since visored, following a 1m2f Chelmsford win with a ready success at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f); up 4lb and drawn widest so she will need to produce another personal best to complete her hat-trick. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Five-time AW winner who looks a solid contender, having shown herself back in better form with third-place finishes off current mark at Southwell (1m) in last three outings; should be thereabouts again. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.5f) last May, but he's generally struggled since, including never involved in two 1m course handicaps in recent weeks; this trip is more suitable but would need to see market support to consider. |

7th 2 (4) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) last May, but he's generally struggled since and was never involved on stable debut over C&D last month; has something to prove and he's still 3lb higher than for his win. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won on turf in the spring and was creditable second of 14 here (1m3f) in first-time blinkers in June; clearly wasn't himself when struggling here last month, after a break, and has a big role to play if back on song in first-time visor. |

9st 4lb |
Won on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m4f) in June; solid second back there earlier this month; slowly away when sixth over C&D last Thursday and threatened not to start at all a couple of times this year; risky. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Returned to winning form when beating Solanna at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in June and ran a solid race when second of six back there ten days ago; shortlisted on those efforts, but twice proved reluctant to race during the summer so does come with risks attached. |
6/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D in June and was a respectable fourth at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on Friday but she's not easy to predict and looked reluctant to race on her penultimate run; comes with risks attached and others are more solid. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap here (13-8 favourite) last September but he's finished tailed off in three subsequent runs and latest was at Windsor last month; blinkers are now added and has lots to prove on this drop back to 1m. |
16/1 |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to score on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in September and is also suited by turf but he ended last season with two heavy AW defeats and returns from 163-day break with a point to prove. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip. |
10/1 |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Had a near miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last August and not beaten far into fourth at Newcastle nine days later; not so good twice after and he has his stamina to prove now returning from 237 days off. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15 but he had a near-miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month before a close fourth over C&D when not a lot went right; looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse on slow ground at Hamilton last time; not ruled out back on AW. |

Her only win (eight races) came at Windsor (1m, good) in October 2022; little impact since, bleeding on final start last year (wore cheekpieces) and tailed off again on reappearance in April; visor is now applied. |

9st 2lb |
Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been over 1m, twice here; has been running well over further since his last win but slow starts have become a habit. |
