20th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-race maiden but was placed several times for Robyn Brisland and he was beaten less than 2l on his stable debut here (7f) last month; that was promising under a positive ride after 11 months off and he looks interesting on this return to sprinting; first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 1lb |
A bit in and out since winning off 4lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) a year ago, twice finishing runner-up in five starts in 0-50 classified company this year; record of 3-51 a concern and she isn't well drawn. |

3-40 on AW and form has been uneven since last win at Wolverhampton nearly a year ago; below best from wide draw at Southwell last time but no surprise to see him go well here. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Ended 2025 with victory at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December and largely in good nick this term, a close fifth in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap two weeks ago; not ruled out off a 2lb lower mark. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a multiple course winner and perhaps needed latest run (back from layoff); losing sequence is mounting up, however. |
12/1 |

9th 4 (11) |
2nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran winner of 11 races here, mostly over this trip; hasn't got his nose in front for 15 months but was placed over C&D when just 1lb lower earlier in the year; not ruled out. |

31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time course winner but she's been operating off this basement mark without success for quite a while; others are preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 12 (6) |
17th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Losing spell goes back to 2021 and recent efforts don't particularly suggest she's about to regain the winning thread; opposed. |
33/1 |

8th 12 (5) |
10th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took a division of this race from 6lb higher in 2021 and 7lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (6f, AW) later that year, but she has gone 27 starts without a win since then; hard to fancy. |

20th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has record of 0-12 but he's run several good races at Dundalk (7f) since November including a close call on his penultimate run; now drops to 6f for the first time but he could make a serious impact if he gets a good pace to aim at. |
11/4 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
6th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden, but middle-distances were not ideal for him; has shown a decent level of form in a sequence of 7f outings here; raced a little too freely when second on latest (Circles, fourth); seems close to making a breakthrough. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D scorer who got back on track when fourth of nine over C&D in July; one to consider off the same mark after a break. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break. |
6/1 |
|
2 (11) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere. |

20th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
13yo who ended a lengthy losing run in a Nottingham handicap (5f, soft) in October but he's failed to beat a rival back on Tapeta at Southwell in last two starts; AW record now stands at 0-18 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |

15th Dec 2022 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Sprung a surprise when 66-1-winner at Nottingham but he couldn't back it up later in October when fourth of nine at Catterick; this veteran needs to get back on track. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing run but he retains ability and wasn't beaten far at Musselburgh in September; needs to step up on last week's midfield finish over 6f here if he's to end the drought. |
10/1 |
|
4 (9) |
7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who is on a long losing sequence, and he broke out of the stalls and was withdrawn over C&D last month (12-1 at the time); however, this three-time course winner has run some good races this year, most recently fourth at Musselburgh in September, and he might not be far away. |
