9st 0lb |
Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |

1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins on good or quicker ground, including firm; C&D winner who finished close up behind one who was ahead of her mark in this race last year and she's likely to be primed for this; leading claims for in-form yard. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time winner over 1m2f-11.7f on turf; beaten under 2l after a break at Kempton and might have gone close with more luck. |

9st 2lb |
Took an age to record his first win, finally making the breakthrough in a 1m handicap at Bath in June; ran well to be second at Salisbury yesterday but has a poor overall strike-rate. |

7th 1 (2) |
30th Jul 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
took keen hold, held up in rear, nudged along over 3f out, still plenty to do when ridden 2f out, ran on from over 1f out, not pace to challenge |
