3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Goes particularly well at Southwell where he won again by 15l a month ago (2m, good), making all; he was granted a soft lead there and has gone up 9lb. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days. |

Completed a hat-trick in May but now has to bounce back from four heavy defeats and there are improvers lurking here. |

9st 12lb

Has returned from a summer break in good form, gaining second win on the Flat this year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; 4lb penalty; sound chance in a modest event back at 1m4f. |

Versatile mare who has yet to win on the AW but has won over hurdles/fences/a bumper and on turf Flat; sound run when runner-up to an easy winner over C&D last time (first three well clear); interesting contender. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up just over two months ago when back from a long absence and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he shaped pretty well for a fair way on that latest start and he was a highly progressive novice chaser in the 2022-23 campaign; no surprise if he has a big say today. |
9/2 |

14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive novice chaser in 2022-23 season; absent since falling in April of that season but he's on a good mark if retaining his ability and his trainer's horses often run well fresh; interesting contender. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner who bounced back with a close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago; 3lb higher here but he remains well treated on old form and all of his wins have been under Brian Hughes; key player. |
2/1 |

2nd 10 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five wins include four over fences; ran well but no match for Most Wanted at Fakenham in May on his return from a break; chance on that form even from 2lb out of the weights, and 2m3f looked too far last time. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All five wins have been over 2m-2m1f, two of which came at this track in 2022; made a pleasing return after a five-month break when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, good) last month but may be vulnerable to younger rivals here. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |
