6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance. |
11/4 |

4th 1 (5) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player. |

travelled strongly, prominent, ridden and every chance over 1f out, no extra and weakened inside final 110yds, lost two places final strides |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
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. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
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. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

5th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
8yo who retains plenty of enthusiasm and enhanced his good record on this track with a near miss last week; every chance despite 2lb nudge. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
The elder statesman in the line-up but he retains enthusiasm and won at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; has made the frame all five starts since; has a good record over this C&D and could be the answer. |

Dual winner in Britain for David O'Meara; absent since poor yard debut effort at Tipperary back in May; best watched. |

Two wins and four places from 18 starts for David O'Meara; unplaced on AW on last three starts; probably a little more effective on turf, but lacks the advantage of a recent outing. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
7/1 |
|
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. |
