31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time course winner (various ground) who runs off the same mark as when winning at Ffos Las in June; however, she's failed to shine here on her three runs this autumn and needs to turn things around. |

9st 6lb |
Versatile ground-wise and has won six times at this track; most recent win came off this mark at Ffos Las in June but she had a major blip over C&D (heavy) 20 days ago and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat. |

11th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Came through from off the pace to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in September; three solid efforts have followed but she may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts in this field. |

4th 4 (6) |
28th Nov 2022 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |

Along with Dora Penny she has an overall record of 8-24; better than ever in C&D contests this autumn, winning in September then twice a good second (neck behind Belle Fourche on penultimate run); holds rock-solid claims, for all that she's edging up the weights. |

On dangerous mark and is versatile ground-wise but his last win was in 2023 and he's struggled in both runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround after a break. |

On a workable mark and versatile regarding ground, but last month's seasonal debut (7f) was very disappointing and he needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing; blinkers refitted. |

He has seven course wins to his name but 2025 was disappointing and he's rather been going through the motions on AW this year; not impossible the return to Bath will pique his interest. |

Regressive 8yo who has been unable to exploit his reduced mark this winter; his penultimate C&D fourth wasn't a bad effort but others still make more appeal for win purposes. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Veteran who scored over C&D in October, but she's not easy to predict and was 6l behind Nordic Glory here ten days ago; needs to bounce back again after that disappointing run and others are more persuasive. |

8th 4 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Regained the winning thread in C&D event in November and has made the frame in both starts since, latest at Kempton; this in-form veteran can't be dismissed. |

5th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The elder statesman in the line-up but he retains enthusiasm and won at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; has made the frame all five starts since; has a good record over this C&D and could be the answer. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well held in sole course run (5f) but he won on Southwell Tapeta (6f) last December and showed he retains plenty of ability in both runs this year; bolted to post and withdrawn on intended yard debut in September; not dismissed on the earlier runs. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Has won nine races from 5f-6f; seems to handle any ground and two fair runs over 6f for Kieran Burke in July; quite interesting on debut for new yard. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Now 9lb lower than when winning here (5.2f, good to firm) last summer but has been out of form this year and needs today's change of headgear to perk him up (usually wears cheekpieces). |
14/1 |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9lb lower than when gaining his second course success here (5f, good to firm) last summer, but little sign of taking advantage of his reduced mark lately; failed to beat a rival back here (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and switch to blinkers from cheekpieces needs to make a big difference. |
12/1 |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed little on the AW since returning in January (underwent wind surgery before latest outing) but both turf wins have come over C&D (good to firm); 5lb below his latest winning mark and worth a second look; stable triple-handed. |
