10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-23 but he's finished runner-up in three of his last five runs including in a 1m classified event at Newcastle (Tapeta) 12 days ago; should make another bold bid back at this track and he's a key player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

It's now 22 outings without a win but he comes here in good order, fifth of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap nine days ago; he can make his presence felt once more. |

Three C&D wins to his name, including this race 12 months ago; arrived in good form on that occasion whereas he has been struggling this winter; new headgear not enough to tempt. |
9/1 |

7th 11 (2) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

8st 9lb |
This veteran was enterprisingly ridden when back up in trip to contest other division to three of these in C&D classified 12 days ago and he did well to stick on for second once the favourite had swept past; opposable back in handicap company. |
25/1 |

17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
12-race maiden; made the frame at Newcastle (1m2f) in December, after a break, but not quite in same form there on either subsequent appearance (1m2f/1m); needs a boost from today's headgear switch. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
26th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Now 0-11 but he did reach the frame over 1m2f here in December; faded out of it over that same trip here a fortnight ago and now drops back to 1m; more than capable off this sort of mark on a going day. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (2) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-10, but has made the frame in his last three visits here, including when fourth of 11 on his return from 166 days off over C&D last month (runner-up has won since); down in grade and one to take seriously. |

17th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time AW winner (seven times over C&D); not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but went very close in similar race to this over C&D last month and rebounded from a lesser effort when third here three weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple C&D winner who went desperately close in a classified event here 17 days ago; less good at Southwell last week and a bit more on his plate back in a handicap; not ruled out though. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
21st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won over C&D but he tends to reserve his best for the extended 1m at Wolverhampton, as when collared in the final stride two weeks ago; no certainty to be in the same form this time. |

2-2 at Musselburgh, the wins gained over 7f/1m in April 2021; now a 9yo and looks far from solid on 2023 form (mostly AW) but the return to this venue gives cause for optimism. |

9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month then won comfortably here (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; the drop back in trip seems a likely negative but she went close over 7f on AW in February and is entitled to respect given how well she took to the course last time on her first visit here. |

11th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Returned from three-month break with creditable second on Tapeta at Newcastle (1m) a fortnight ago but needs to prove she can transfer that form to turf (unplaced all ten starts on grass). |

5th 5 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred. |

26th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Big improver with pair of 1m Southwell wins this month; should make a bold bid for the hat-trick; engaged 8.30 Southwell on Tuesday. |
|
|
2nd 2 (4) |
24th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
He has found a chunk of improvement of late, following his easy C&D win nine days ago with another victory here on Friday; has a 10lb penalty to deal with but the latest win was a good effort on the clock and he still looks feasibly weighted; obvious claims in his hat-trick bid. |
6/5 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Found a surge of improvement to easily win a 0-60 handicap over C&D on Sunday, recording a solid Topspeed figure in the process; looks well-in under a penalty and he's a leading contender. |
