17th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt in a similar event at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) at the start of the month and put up an even better effort when beaten less than a length into second of 11 in a 0-55 handicap here (7f) eight days ago; strong claims. |

2nd 8 (14) |
9th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent since joining this yard, getting up in the final strides in 6f Kempton classified race eight days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (revised mark 2lb lower) but it's possible she'll kick on now she's got her head in front; return to 7f should suit, too. |

1st 3 (10) |
1st Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
First Polytrack run and has a tricky draw but she's been running well in 6f Tapeta races for new yard and can surely win one of these before long; due to run in first-time cheekpieces in 8.00 Southwell last night. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Made all at Lingfield (5f classified) in January but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable to finishers in five subsequent runs; could be the same story here and he looks opposable back in a handicap. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar contest at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January and his proven early speed is an asset over this C&D, but the outside stall poses a problem; cheekpieces return. |

Fifth AW win came over 5f at Lingfield in January in second-time cheekpieces but backward steps since and was well beaten at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago; he's won on turf but needs to return to form in the added blinkers. |

9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |

11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |

Slow starter is drawn on the inside; seemingly right back to form when 100-1 third over C&D last time but very much benefited from sitting off a strong pace; this may not pan out so well. |

Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |

12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

1st Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Was never nearer than at the finish when runner-up in sole C&D run, a handicap in October, and has continued in form at this level elsewhere since (checked in his run on latest); unlikely to be far away. |

6th 5 (4) |
3rd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but he comes here on the back of two good runs, latterly a close third in a similar race over C&D; this might be a touch more competitive but he's still a key player. |

Pulled hard from a wide stall last time and perhaps the drop from 6f will help, minus the tongue-tie; it's not hard to look elsewhere though. |

1st Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Minor AW form in 7f and 6f AW maidens, the latest two after an absence; will be more at home in this company and may yet do better; first-time tongue-tie replaces hood. |
