22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Struggled in his three handicaps towards the end of last season (2m-2m3f) and needs subsequent wind op to have made a huge difference. |

8th 13 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Three Flat wins but no joy over hurdles so far, including in two handicaps; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces; best watched. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |

Won three on the Flat but doesn't look up to much over hurdles; completely tailed off on handicap debut here when friendless in the betting; tries two new forms of headgear. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
May have done too much early and might have failed for stamina when sixth of eight at Chelmsford (13.3f. Polytrack) 13 days ago (Take The Boat second); better judged on his previous form around here including wins over 1m3f/1m4f; respected for stable that also runs Maywedance. |

6th 1 (7) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

All wins at 1m3f-1m4f; hasn't fully convinced with stamina in his 1m5f/1m6f attempts, including latest start; may again get outstayed. |

In good form at Kempton prior to a lesser effort there (1m3f) last month; needs to bounce back and well beaten in one go on Tapeta; others have less to prove. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won handicap debut last July and minor honours in four of five races since; twice runner-up in the mud, including when never nearer in 13-runner race at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start; wore tongue-tie for both starts this term; bit to prove with the extra 3f today, against proven stayers. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on heavy at Nottingham (1m2f) last October; entitled to have needed her comeback run when third of five at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy; first-time tongue tie) nearly five weeks ago; stamina isn't totally guaranteed over 1m5f. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won on the back of a similar absence to today's on last season's reappearance and handicap debut (1m2f, good); seemed to cope okay with the heavy ground when second at Nottingham the final time (winner won easily); stays okay and tries a tongue-tie. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on all AW but runner-up three times on testing turf; has a reduced mark but that's as a result of him being off for 595 days; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |
|
4 (14) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Best effort for a while when beating two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) last month; back up 6lb in a race that will take more winning but that recent success could have had a reviving effect. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have come over 1m4f at Beverley and latest was in May; several creditable efforts since that last success including when a 2l third at Redcar (1m6f, good) last time; this is a deeper race but she's still unexposed at this trip and shouldn't be far away. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Below form when dropped to 1m2f last time; in decent form before that, winning at Beverley in May (1m4f, good to firm) and being placed on her next three starts, all over 1m4f; stamina to prove (below best only previous try at this trip) but a possible. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three short-priced defeats since a Beverley win off 7lb lower in the spring and back at 1m2f today; will again be popular for a yard that took this in 2023 but she ran poorly in two previous tries in headgear. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Inconsistent 22-race maiden but he has form over C&D and was runner-up over 1m6f here (soft) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can get back near that level and he seems versatile ground-wise. |
4/1 |
|
6 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No threat to Rupert The Prince when second here (1m6f, soft) ten days ago and now 0-21 but that still goes down as a good effort and he'll be fine over today's longer trip; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

2nd 11 (14) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-20; made the frame in five of his seven turf starts this season, including twice at this track; there was a lesser show when the ground went good to soft on latest outing but each-way contender if that was a blip. |

9st 4lb |
Two-time course winner, the latest last September (1m5f, firm); runner-up here on three of her last five starts, including her latest, and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who was runner-up twice here (including this trip) on firm in April; not at the same level twice since, although a slow start offers an excuse on the first occasion. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |

All three wins came over further and she now returns for a new stable after a lengthy absence; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour. |
20/1 |

11 (12) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Last year's winner (from 4lb higher); patchy form this year, with respectable efforts (Kempton) interspersed with weak finishes elsewhere; probably holds a similar chance to Endofastorm based on their recent C&D clash; any sign of market support would offer encouragement. |
10/1 |
|
7th 13 (8) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Dual course winner at around this time last year (11.6f/1m5f) but not in same form this season; just a respectable third at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) this month and effectively 3lb higher from out of the weights here. |

4-38; no win since last summer and yet to score beyond 11.5f; has struggled through the majority of this year, finishing last on three occasions, including at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; 16-1) four weeks ago; others are far more obvious candidates. |

9st 8lb |
Scored at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September but he's had only two runs this season and has been tailed off in both of them; now back on last winning mark but has plenty to prove and he's drawn out wide; tongue-tie reapplied. |

Won off 1lb lower at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September, but he's had only three runs since and was tailed off on his Wolverhampton reappearance last month; has some questions to answer and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |
