25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |

8th 4 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
May well have won at Chester (10.3f, good) in May granted a clear run; just 1lb higher today but Royal Ascot next time was a backward step and he was tailed-off last in a top handicap at York on latest outing. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Usually gives his running and best of the rest behind an in-form rival at Epsom a month ago (1m2f, good to soft); that is more his trip though. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all for a 5l win at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) in August but that was a golden opportunity in a maiden and he flopped back in a handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; still lightly raced but that was a major blip last time and he needs to bounce back. |

1st 6 (4) |
13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-5 and has hung when going close this summer on his first two handicap starts (9.4f/1m2f, AW); needs to prove he can get the job done but he's a leading form contender today; showed promise on turf on debut in May; first-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn the last twice. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here. |
14/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Career win number six at Chepstow in July (1m2f, good) but levels have dipped the last twice; on a handy mark if she can get herself back on track. |
12/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Boasts a good record here (1m2f winner last month off 4lb lower) and will be happier back down in class having hung right at Windsor last time; this trip's a bare minimum now, unless the ground eases (seems unlikely), but the big field will help. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |
6/1 |

11th 10 (3) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Second at this meeting in 2024 but only eighth in this race last year; had an excellent autumn on AW and won again in January, but he's struggled to make an impact in recent AW starts and his record is a lot stronger at up to 1m3f than at about 1m4f. |
33/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's never won off a mark this high and he needs to produce more than he's managed at Kempton and Lingfield on his last three starts; however, before those he won a 13-runner handicap over C&D with something to spare and the return to Newcastle could be in his favour; not ruled out each-way. |
20/1 |
|
8th 3 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Busy 6yo who is 10-28 on AW, with three of those wins last autumn (two C&D) and latest at Newcastle in January; the handicapper has reacted, though, and the creditable efforts of last two starts weren't nearly so rewarding. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
1m win here last September off a 2lb lower mark; two respectable runs here last month and stepping back up in trip can help; each-way chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came over C&D in September (good to soft); ran well here on quicker ground next time and left the impression her first start for 167 days was needed when fifth on her most recent start; has claims. |
