2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting on for two years since his last win but this C&D winner has dropped to a tempting mark and he didn't run badly in a stronger race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) six weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb too; high on the list. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from a break with creditable third of seven over 1m here last month but she's been below par twice since, latterly at Newcastle only five days ago; others arrive with more pressing claims. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Ran well in the Southwell contest won by Wild Side but raced too freely in the Wolverhampton event won by Nine Tenths; not sure to what to expect in first-time cheekpieces (replacing usual hood). |

10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran five-time course winner who's still capable of being competitive, as he showed when second to Urban Dandy in a classified here (1m) a month ago; the return to handicaps asks for a bit more. |

1st Nov 2022 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-10 (placed twice on AW over 8.5f/1m2f); beaten over 4l on handicap debut (C&D, good to soft) in September, when he was unable to get a clear run as things got serious; drops 4lb and pedigree hints that he can handle soft ground; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |

2nd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |
