29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

C&D win number three came off 3lb higher in January; hasn't threatened in four runs since, including in this headgear combination last time; has no great record fresh. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handles most ground but his two turf wins have on soft and good to soft; last success was off 1lb higher on Polytrack in January but he's been out of sorts since then and was never involved at Doncaster three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to get back on track. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two of his six wins have been here, one of which was over today's distance; not the force of old but has come down the weights accordingly and is back on a decent mark; cannot be discounted. |

Two of his six wins have been at this track, one of which was over today's distance; best run for a while when fourth of nine at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month but he needs to back that up here. |

22nd Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

10th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple course winner who also captured this event in 2025; yet to score this term but he has posted some solid placed efforts here and is best forgiven his latest C&D seventh when slowly away; can't be discounted. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |

2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

Won on Jersey and Chepstow (both 1m2f, good) under Brodie Hampson earlier in the year, but finished behind three of these at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back from that. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Back on the mainland after game win under Brodie Hampson in Jersey (1m2f, good) in April; this race is almost certainly stronger but he's still on a workable mark and probably won't be far away; cheekpieces refitted. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who scored over C&D (good) in June but that was a Class 6 and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he has some work to do back up in grade. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's landed the inside stall; did a lot of his winning in the past over 7f but may be happiest over this trip now, as when making all for Ethan Tindall off 3lb lower in June; one to consider back from a short break. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark for the season when making all at Pontefract last time (6f, good); his other five wins have all been over 7f (two sound runs on both C&D starts); well drawn; a possible. |
9/2 |
