19th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite on last two starts over 1m but ran up against a promising one of the Gosdens here and perhaps had a breathing issue at Newcastle as a tongue-tie is now added; obvious chance dropped to 7f. |
4/7 |

2nd 1 (4) |
28th Dec 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has run to a fair level in two 1m events on Polytrack this year, no match for an easy winner at Kempton in September but still clear of the third; leading form claims and has the prospect of further improvement; cheekpieces now tried. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Front-runner who made it 2-2 over fences when winning at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) in October; however, his limitations seem to have been exposed since and he finished well adrift of No Questions Asked and Be Aware at Windsor last time; has had wind surgery but still hard to recommend. |

3rd 1 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who made it 2-2 over fences when winning at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) in October; won on soft ground over hurdles; carries a 3lb penalty today and his progress has stalled on his last two starts, but he's made mistakes each time and could make a bold bid if cutting out the blunders. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who has been well held in turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in both his runs this season; looks feasibly treated on his best form but he needs a visor to help spark him back into action. |
14/1 |
|
6 (13) |
13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Safely held in two turf handicaps last month (1m/1m2f) and now 0-7; might be aided by first-time visor here and the return to Tapeta ought to suit but he's drawn wide and others have more pressing claims. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Not as good now and prone to the occasional off-day; still to win over C&D but his record suggests he needs considering off this mark, especially given his two previous runs in cheekpieces both resulted in near-misses. |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Out of the frame in eight starts and tailed off in two outings on turf, both of them here including over 1m6f (good to firm) eight days ago; big drop back in trip and application of a tongue-tie will need to make a major difference; stable appears to hold a much better chance with Arlo's Sunshine. |

Well held in her first three starts, but offered a bit more on handicap debut when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; shaped then as though she would appreciate further so worth a second look. |

10th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prolific winner (7-13 on Tapeta) who switches to a visor from cheekpieces having twice finished held off her career-high mark last month; this trip's as far as she wants in this company and she needs to find a bit more for the new form of headgear. |
16/1 |

3 (5) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has only ever raced on the AW and has a fine straike-rate on it (8-17); not seen to best effect when fourth of six in a slowly run contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last Saturday, but should be suited by the return to this sort of test; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (6) |
3rd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 2 |

The winner of eight of her 13 runs in handicaps, taking another step forward with cheekpieces added when keeping on strongly over 1m3f at Southwell 16 days ago; four wins at this track, two over this trip, and she's one to take seriously. |
