1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Ready win here (6f) in January; generally held his form since and Monday's low-key effort at Wolverhampton is excusable as he saw no daylight in the home straight. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

C&D winner; won at Lingfield (6f) last month before finishing a close second at this track nine days later; respectable efforts since and he's one to take seriously now back up in distance. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well. |

2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted. |
7/1 |

6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt. |

8st 10lb |
2-34, but ran her best race for a while returned to turf when beaten 2l into third of ten behind Raft Up over C&D (good) last month; 7lb better off so each-way claims if stepping forward from that. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

27th May 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Hold-up performer who should get the strong pace she needs but not in much form lately and a record of 2-32 doesn't inspire confidence. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

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. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

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. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific C&D winner, most recently when making all 54 days ago; a 3lb rise won't stop him if in the same form and he may not have to work too hard to lead; major player. |

1st 3 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Got the better of the battle for the early lead when beating Beaumadier and Gogo Yubari here on January 14 and he would have strong claims if reproducing that form; he hasn't managed it in two subsequent starts but a full revival would be no surprise. |

16th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Dual 5f winner in 2021 but not so good this season; closer four starts ago when wearing cheekpieces (kept since) for the first time and perked up again somewhat when tongue-tie was added in a C&D claimer for latest start, but others have more pressing claims. |

Tough mare who has been holding her form very well, most recently making all to beat Murbih over C&D last week; penalty against stiffer opposition and other pace influences mean she'll need to step forward again. |

Fair 5f winner in 2021 for Philip Makin but he's yet to fire for his current yard, racing alone when beating only one at Ripon (5f) nine days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
