17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Below her best at Brighton last time but had been in a good run of form, as with many from this yard; might just be vulnerable to stronger stays over this stiff 1m. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July and she's held her form since, including when runner-up over 1m at Salisbury (good to soft) last time; should go well again back in trip and she won't mind what the weather does; blinkers back on. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock her last four races and prominent throughout when narrowly beaten at Chepstow on Monday; however, that was over 6f and, although she stays 7f, the vast majority of her runs have been over sprint trips and she last raced over 1m in 2021 (finished ninth). |

Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle last time but she remains 4lb above the mark she defied over this trip at Leicester in June; others are more obvious. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

15-race maiden who has yet to be placed and was only eighth of nine over C&D three weeks ago; blinkers are now tried but mark has bottomed out and he makes no appeal. |

12th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-14); continues to fall in the weights but there were few positives seven weeks ago from his latest start (1m3f) on first attempt beyond 1m; best to look elsewhere for the solution. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

C&D winner in August and closely matched with Hilltop on run here last month; stall 11 draw means that form may not be reversed here, though. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won this last year off 1lb lower and took her record over C&D to 121 when going in off 2lb lower one month ago; often dropped in and likely will be again from the outside stall; holds decent claims. |
3/1 |

19th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Narrow C&D winner off a pound higher mark last September (only just beaten over C&D next time); not in quite such good form this year, best run when second at Southwell in June (7f); fared less well there last time but quite interesting back here (course record is 2124). |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Still 8lb higher than when winning over C&D in September, but narrow defeats off similar marks to this in his last two outings suggest he is capable of playing a part. |
9/2 |

3 (9) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW. |

Pipped So Smart in the final strides at Chepstow in July (5f, good to soft) and he's 2lb better off with that rival today; subsequent Leicester run (6f) less convincing but returning to a stiff 5f should suit, especially with a fast pace looking assured. |

9st 7lb |
4yo who won over 6f on heavy ground at Leicester last May; best effort since when fourth of 11 on her seasonal return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April; way below that returned to sprinting here last time but the move back to this trip might help. |

6f win on heavy ground at Leicester last May; best effort since when fourth of 11 on her seasonal return at Doncaster in April, looking stretched by the trip; dangerous mark now back sprinting; contender. |
