17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Five chase wins at up to 2m5f; very mixed since the last of those and disappointed on first run back with Emma Lavelle a month ago. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Five chase wins at up to 2m5f, the latest off a 10lb higher mark at Newton Abbot in May 2025 (2m5f, good); mixed form since, including on six runs for Mickey Bowen; now back with Emma Lavelle; needs to bounce back. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won six races (five over fences) for Emma Lavelle; yet to fire in five starts for current yard; first-time blinkers need to work for him to rediscover his old form. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Front-runner who won when back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good) in July, then finished second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) before getting back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m4f, soft); Chester brings out the best in him but no surprise to see a bold bid on his first visit here. |

1st 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual-purpose 8yo; runner-up in a division of this last year (on good to soft) under Jonathan Burke and a C&D winner in July (good; 1lb lower); readily outpointed when second at Brighton last month but remains in good form. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Began her handicap career with two respectable runs at Plumpton in the autumn (both 3m1f, good to soft) but she was pulled up at Wincanton in her final run last year; has something to prove again after a break and she hasn't looked entirely straightforward; hood added. |

14th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Her first effort of real note in points or over hurdles when a 5l third over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago and did well to finish that close after pulling hard; 2lb out of the weights but seriously considered. |
