Below form sole start here, when upped to 2m last September on latest Flat outing (yard debut); 80-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December, followed by two respectable efforts but he was soundly beaten on latest start; others are a bit more persuasive. |

Three course wins but all over shorter and remains vulnerable in a finish over this far; has enjoyed a consistent winter but remains 2lb above his last successful mark and only holds each-way claims. |

Won over C&D in October and was placed on Polytrack and Tapeta in his next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield (1m2f; has form at that trip) last time; has something to prove again after that heavy defeat and he has a tough draw back at this track; cheekpieces removed. |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Much better on the AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D last summer; just 1lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June and she could go well. |
16/1 |

20th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins over this trip on Polytrack last year; another sound effort on AW when second at Newcastle (1m2f) last month but she had failed to beat a rival on turf on her two outings prior to that; has a 5lb lower mark on the grass but others are still preferred. |

Two wins over this trip on Polytrack last year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run well on Tapeta, but has failed to beat a rival in her last three starts (two on turf) so has a bit to prove. |

Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Reliable type who returned from over three months off with a creditable fourth over 1m4f here three weeks ago; versatile trip-wise and stays this far; each-way hopes. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Has gained all turf wins over the extended 1m3f at Windsor, including in three of her last four outings; switching back to elsewhere isn't ideal but she has bits of Epsom form; better than ever and enters calculations. |

Fair on the Flat but yet to make an impact over hurdles; brushed aside fairly easily after leading on final circuit at Plumpton (2m, good; refitted blinkers) this month; will need to show more tenacity here. |

14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting. |

9st 5lb |
Both turf wins have been in France, but his other success came on this surface (1m2f) early last year; beaten just over a length into fourth of ten behind Forge Valley Lad over the same trip back here this month (attempted to make all), but is yet to prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return. |

3rd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner last January and added a soft-ground handicap in France to his tally in the summer; inconsistent of late but down in the weights and new headgear is given a spin today. |

8th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Two of his three wins have been in France, the other coming at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) a year go; just behind Star Shield when third of ten at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but this may be an insufficient test for him now. |

Sole win came at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) from an 8lb higher mark last summer; has worn various headgear and, although faring a bit better at Wolverhampton on penultimate start, has since taken a firm backward step at Yarmouth (last of eight). |

20th Sep 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

On a positive trajectory when winning at Nottingham (1m2f Class 5, good) in May; has failed to match that level of form since, although wasn't disgraced (fifth) in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor; still lightly raced (seven starts) so perhaps the blinkers can unlock a fraction more. |

5-35 career, including 2-18 AW; relatively lightly raced in recent years; didn't shape badly on turf at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; keeping-on fourth of ten) last month; could still have a bit of class for this grade; needs considering. |
