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. |

26th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, ridden prominently for those successes, and now 8lb lower than for the latest of them; not hit top gear in three runs for this yard and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend; still needs a market check with blinkers tried for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over C&D in 2022; promising start for new yard after Christmas but he ran no race at Southwell (mixed record there but does handle the surface) ten days ago and now has the hood discarded; on a good mark at present and may well return to form back here. |
8/1 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer whose three career wins have come over 6f at Wolverhampton (when trained by Ivan Furtado); shaped nicely under his optimum conditions on stable debut ten days ago but he has a bit more to prove at this venue; one to keep an eye on in the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner here (6f/7f) in 2020; has gone close a couple of times lately, as when beaten a short head at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in July, but losing run up to 24; others look more solid. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp. |
7/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

Has a good low draw and she's 3lb lower than when winning at Sandown last September; however, she's failed to beat a rival on her three outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Modest level of form in Britain this year, most recently third at Thirsk; however, leading player judged on the better of her two French efforts and this may be the time to catch her (second run after wind surgery). |

12th Oct 2022 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Showed promise in two runs in France (7f/6f) last autumn but she's not been at the same level in three runs for new yard this season; still lightly raced and now goes back up in trip on handicap debut but she needs to raise her game significantly. |
