9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored over C&D in October and he got back on track when second of 12 in 1m4f Pontefract handicap last month; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

2nd 4 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Caused 28-1 surprise on soft ground at Leiester (1m4f) in the autumn but was below that form on his two AW starts in February (wore cheekpieces) and is too inconsistent to rely upon; no headgear today. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner on Tapeta elsewhere; placed three times from six starts over this sort of trip on Tapeta and could make the frame from just 2lb above his last winning mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |
16/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (12.4f, good) in July and respectable efforts in next two runs but his form nosedived at Hamilton last month; has something to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back; stablemate of Elemental Eye. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |
5/2 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is a five-time winner at Wolverhampton; close second, clear of remainder, in C&D classified race last time; leading claims. |

6th May 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Last won in February 2022 and has been absent for 387 days; well treated on form early that year but there is more for him to prove these days on turf, including as sole run on softer than good was a heavy defeat. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 and isn't up to much these days; had plenty of chances at this level of late and only holds outside claims. |
16/1 |

6th 10 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Three-time winner but the latest of those wins came in November 2023; fifth in two starts at Wolverhampton in January but he was well beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) 13 days ago; others preferred. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; yet to strike form this season, though, and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

28th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His first nine wins came at Wolverhampton (8.6f-1m4f) but he scored at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; that was a very narrow success but he's only 2lb higher here and is respected back up in trip. |
8/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Nine-time AW winner but all those wins have been at Wolverhampton; fair runs over 8.5f last twice (at Wolverhampton); place chance. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
4th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
All nine wins have come at this track, three of them over this trip the latest of which was in April; off 79 days before second of ten back here in June and a major player from the same mark. |
