4th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Ties in with a couple of today's rivals on C&D reappearance form but ideally needs a return to further; yet to score over a bare 5f; gained his Bath win over the extended 5f. |

Won three times in the second half of 2025, including at this track (5.7f); looks high enough in the weights on his return from a five-month absence. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |
8/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
12lb lower than when winning at Windsor (5f, heavy) last October, but patchy form in the meantime with her latest fourth of seven coming in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (6f, good); cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner who didn't get home in a Windsor handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago, but she does stay this far; has won on good to firm, but most of her successes have come on good ground or softer; sports headgear for the first time on her 60th outing. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Denied a clear run when fourth in first-time visor (retained since) in Bath classified two starts ago; however, he didn't really build on that in a handicap at Chepstow last time and has won just one of his 37 starts. |
12/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Looked unlucky not to finish closer to the target when fourth in recent Bath classified (5.7f, good to firm; first-time visor) but has poor strike-rate (1-36) and makes only limited appeal on this handicap return. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Won twice over 6f at Chepstow in June (good to firm) before being beaten a head at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) under Imogen Mathias; below his best when forced wide at Lingfield (1m, AW) 32 days ago; back on turf and drops to 5f (all wins over 6f). |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
All wins at 6f, including on AW at Kempton at start of career; in top form with pair of victories at Chepstow in June and showed he's effective over 7f when collared on the line at Salisbury under Imogen Mathias last month; stamina an obvious worry tackling 1m for the first time on his 51st start but he might get away with it round here. |
7/2 |
|
4 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
All wins over 6f, on good to firm and good ground, the last two at Chepstow in June; has something to prove back over 7f, let alone on a stiff track like this, but he's still on a much-reduced mark and he might get away with this trip in an uncompetitive race. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Exposed mare whose last win came in Wolverhampton classified (6f, AW) in January 2025; having first start on turf since September 2024 and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Without a win since last January but her last two efforts have been solid, including when third over C&D 26 days ago; visor (worn once before) replaces blinkers and she has place claims. |
4/1 |

3rd 9 (5) |

On a lengthy losing sequence but she fared better than of late when third of 11 in 6f classified event at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; this C&D winner needs considering. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf. |
14/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good second here next time but his form has cooled in classified events over C&D in last two runs; bit to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

4th 8 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good C&D second next time; rather disappointing when favourite here last week (outside draw); better drawn this time and could bounce back |

Multiple winner on turf/AW; however, failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las (6f) last month on debut for new yard, having been a market drifter; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |
