24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a 15-race losing run when scoring by a head over C&D last month; only midfield under his penalty at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) next time, but each-way claims back here. |

First win for 11 months when leading towards the finish at Southwell (5f, AW) 11 days ago; carries a 5lb penalty and has yet to win back to back in his 43-race career. |

9st 3lb |
Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |

Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

Won over C&D (good to soft) last July and is now 2lb lower; not written off but she has something to prove having been well beaten at Newcastle in March on her sole outing this year. |

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

A fair 6f winner for David Loughnane but she's yet to fire in two runs for her current yard, beating just one at Newcastle (5f) three weeks ago; she has something to prove now. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |

8st 13lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; back in top form, beaten only narrowly, at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on Monday with reappearance under his belt; may remain competitive off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Went up 28lb for four wins last season, over 5f/6f on good/good to soft; showed he is still competitive with a sound sixth at Musselburgh on reappearance (5f, soft) and should come on for that run; a player. |
