27th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all in big-field York handicap (good to firm) in 2024; C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and AW (also 7f) winner last summer; lesser efforts followed until a firm step back in the right direction last time and returns to turf from a handy mark; respected. |

C&D winner off this mark last summer but has struggled for form on AW this winter, including back from a second wind operation last time; would need to see market support to consider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

1st 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

5th 8 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
2-34 but only faded late after racing prominently at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and met trouble in running when fifth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW; 100-30) 12 days ago; on career-low mark and may be ready to take advantage. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins from 33 starts; runner-up over this C&D in January and he shaped as if still in form when eighth of 22 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) 17 days ago, weakening late; returns to the AW with solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
8th 16 (8) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Infrequent winner but he has run some good races in defeat over the winter, including when coming from a long way back to take second at Southwell (7f) for this rider in January; ran poorly at this meeting 12 months ago. |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

|
10th 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins for the Barrons, three of them over 7f on the Tapeta at Newcastle; 28-1 for his stable debut two weeks ago (first run after a 175-day break) and he weakened as though it was needed; likely to bounce back at some point. |

Won a classified race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last summer; short of her best in three runs this winter though and she needs a full revival. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Not as her best in handicaps lately, but she was successful the last time she raced at this level at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in August; has run well over C&D and a player; stable also runs Embarked. |

Dual 7f winner on the AW but a modest strike-rate overall and last win was in a classified race; could still run well off a realistic mark. |
