28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Good second off this mark in better race over C&D on Derby day, having scored at Chester the time before; not in the same form since and suffered a heavy defeat last Sunday. |

Has only won over 1m4f at Chester in his last 26 starts; feasibly handicapped but he hasn't threatened in last four runs and others are more persuasive; 0-2 here. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years. |
20/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Veteran who has picked up a race or two up to 1m2f in most seasons but has had just two runs this term, well beaten; won off 1lb higher last May; now tries cheekpieces (first headgear since 2021) and he's only once been over this sort of trip (2019). |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
The standout in-form candidate after front-running efforts on last three starts brought two 1m2f Beverley wins and a short-head defeat off this mark in blanket finish over Musselburgh's 1m4f; should go very well again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
11th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer; feasibly weighted seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back Beverley wins (1m2f; has risen a combined total of 5lb); the stable is going really well, he's versatile ground wise, and this sharp track should suit; enthusiasm is tempered by inconclusive stamina over 1m4f. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |

5th 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Turf winner back in May 2023 who found classified company his thing when going back-to-back on AW (9.5f/1m2f) in January; forced out of that grade subsequently and has found handicaps a stretch on last three starts. |

Failed to trouble the judge in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but more positive signs for her new stable when 2l second of 12 at Southwell (1m3f) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; one to consider from an unchanged mark. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who has finished second a few times on turf this season, without being particularly consistent; scored twice over C&D in December 2021 but is harder to fancy on his 2022 AW form. |

3rd Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Winner off 3lb higher for Marco Botti on turf (1m2f) last summer but he struggled in final three runs for that yard and was the same story on his stable debut here in December; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back up in trip; tongue-tie removed. |
33/1 |

9th 2 (5) |
28th Dec 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Winner off this mark for Marco Botti on turf in the summer but struggled in three more starts before sold for 9,000gns in October; has something to prove back from a break for his new yard. |
