4th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won twice on Tapeta early in the year; the fitting of a tongue-tie back from a short break will need to help off his current mark. |

21st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who appreciated the step back up to this trip when winning off 3lb lower in first-time cheekpieces (AW) this month (also won for blinkers first going on); goes on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
4th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Made a successful stable debut after five months off here (7f) in February, but has been a beaten favourite in all three outings since; won over 1m in Ireland, so the return to this trip is not a problem, and he won when blinkered for the first time, so interesting to see if the application of cheekpieces has a similar effect. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice for Martyn Meade at a much higher level back in 2019, but has failed to score since; always behind at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 40-1, held by Storm Asset) last time; highly unlikely to offer the solution. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has form figures of 133 in 6f/7f events on AW and retains low mileage; just needs to bounce back from a poor effort (back from layoff; not beaten entirely by 1m trip) here last week. |
14/1 |
|
12th 6 (4) |
31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only had the five starts and looks better on AW than turf on the evidence so far, including a win here (6f) just over a year ago; third in both handicaps over 7f on Tapeta at the start of the year and although not seen in eight months, she has gone well fresh before; one for the shortlist. |
3/1 |

3rd 3 (10) |
2nd Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f course novice winner in September and shaped well back from a break when keeping on for a never-nearer third on 7f Southwell handicap debut a week ago; much less exposed than today's opposition and looks capable of winning off this mark; same trainer/jockey took this race last year. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won a couple of classified events here (7f/1m) early last year and is 4lb lower than when third of 12 at this venue in December; his three efforts since (including last month's reappearance) leave him with something to prove though. |
16/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f. |
7/1 |

8th 6 (6) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Enhanced his good form figures here with a narrow success over this trip 15 days ago when the ground was soft; overcame a wide draw that day; must have a chance. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Third in a 1m selling handicap here last month but beaten about 6l, and remains that bit more compelling at the 7f of his two career successes, the latest on Tapeta before Christmas; down to a new career-low mark. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He's 2lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) last December and didn't run badly when third of seven in selling handicap at Redcar (1m) last time; however, he needs something extra here and is untested beyond 1m. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
4th May 2023 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Largely below par on the AW this winter and again returned to turf in a change of headgear when sixth in 7f Catterick handicap eight days ago; handily weighted now so he can't be totally dismissed. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

12yo who was disappointing here (1m) last Tuesday but did too much too soon in that amateurs' race; had previously been running consistently well (including over C&D) and he may well bounce back with a bold bid. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

9st 5lb |
Defied a 10lb higher mark at this course (1m, good) last August; placed effort in 0-50 classified event here (1m, good to soft) eight days ago is inferior form; however, well treated if raising her game. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (8) |
9th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Her form has gone the wrong way this year and she's been well beaten at Musselburgh the last twice; however, she doesn't have a good record there whereas she's run several good races here, including when fourth of six over C&D as recently as May; could play a major role now back here. |

16th Jul 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Left some very uninspiring AW form behind when respectable fourth on hurdling return at Worcester (2m, good) last month but is not sure to be suited by today's move back up in trip and others have more persuasive profiles; most turf form is on good ground; once ran well on good to soft. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
