30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

Won a small-field fillies' handicap at Kempton in April (6f), her tenth career success, but she's struggled in good company since; down in grade and conditions unlikely to faze her. |

Campaigned mostly over 6f and on turf; not particularly solid on his form this season for new stable; enough to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2020. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

Just two of his 96 starts have been over 7f but he was placed over C&D in February; three Chepstow wins in the summer and he also ran well for third at Chelmsford when last seen five weeks ago; each-way shout. |

Rattled off a Chepstow hat-trick in the summer and showed better form when third in a C&D handicap this month; never threatened at Kempton 12 days ago and he has the widest stall to overcome here. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Her form has been patchy since she won at Nottingham (6f, good) in May but she's now 6lb lower and can also be effective on soft ground; it might be dangerous to rule her out. |

Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |

9st 6lb |
Won 15 times for the late John Spearing, including three at this track; not found his best form in two runs for this yard but he's down in the weights and drying ground would aid his cause; withdrawn (reluctant to load) here on latest intended start. |

26th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Won 15 times for the late John Spearing, including this race in 2022 (good to firm); low key in recent starts, last year and this, but 5lb lower than 12 months ago and he could have been primed for today. |

Seven times a course winner; 40-1 for last week's stable debut at Windsor (after 232 days off) and could only manage ninth but that hardly tells the story as he was stuck behind a wall of horses for most of the straight; good mark and one to take seriously. |

Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |

Finished third of 15 in the 2018 running; has had a stop-start year but testing conditions suit and he looked in good form when a ready winner from Hodler at Leicester 18 days ago (7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); back up 5lb; one of the more likely ones. |
