8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |
14/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Successful on Jersey in May and followed up over 1m2f on AW here in June; his two subsequent efforts have been poor and tries a change of headgear (first-time blinkers in place of cheekpieces) in a bid to get back to form. |
8/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark. |

Infrequent winner but well treated on this year's best efforts; well beaten at 40-1 on his return from a summer break two weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind. |

Never gave his running at Bath in June and off since; went close there the time before (1m) off only 1lb lower and effective on AW surfaces. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running 1m Kempton wins in 2024; belatedly returned to form when narrowly denied there (7f) in December but didn't come close to backing that up over 1m last week; blinkers are refitted now. |
11/1 |
|
11th 1 (9) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running C&D wins in 2024; little to enthuse over last year until a prominent market position correctly predicted a return to form when beaten a head over 7f here last month; up 3lb but still below his winning marks and looks a leading contender despite possible pace pressure. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in her first season over hurdles last term and may not have got home when third of five at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) on her return to action 23 days ago; should be sharper for the run and holds claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive over hurdles in early part of last season, winning three times on good ground (2m-2m1f); absent since blotting copybook in the autumn (whipped round at start and refused to race) and not bred to benefit from this step up in trip. |
3/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on reappearance at Bath (1m, good) last month then won over C&D (good to firm) before a good second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); arrives at the top of his game and he's a strong contender. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when making all at Leicester 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); up 5lb but the latest run was his first at the trip and he may be able to build on it. |
5/2 |
|
1st 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
On reduced mark and he returned from a break with a good second behind an improver at Bath (1m, good) three weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up but he's still a maiden 16 starts and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Versatile regarding the ground but a respectable effort at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in July has been followed by two lesser ones and although temptingly treated, he needs much more for the adding of a tongue-tie. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't been a big price for either turf run this spring but he's offered just minor promise (1m and 6f); should find life easier in handicaps. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished close up in his first three runs this season before making the breakthrough (11th attempt) at Leicester (1m4f, good) in July; that was a narrow front-running win but he's only 1lb higher here and is still unexposed at this trip; respected. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Handy sort who is 0-10, but was only just caught over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; 2lb higher but still respected, especially if again allowed to dictate. |
7/2 |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-9 but he was close up in a 1m4f AW handicap in December and, after looking likely to fade away over 1m2f here last time, he found a second wind to be involved in a tight finish; of interest now back at 1m4f. |

Patchy form since returning from another break in January, though is 2lb lower than when third of nine over C&D on his penultimate outing so a case can be made; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
