17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |

6th 6 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; not beaten far at Newcastle in November (7f) but that is flanked by lesser efforts; blinkers back on today but others appeal more. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers). |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field on first four starts for Chelsea Banham but fared better when fifth in a Wolverhampton classified (6f; heavily backed) last month; needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in December 2024, recording an RPR of 71 in the process; unfancied and has finished down the field in four runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; eligible for this 0-50 classified as a result; a return to form is likely to be foretold by the betting. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner and dual C&D winner, the latest from 5lb higher just under a year ago; 0-16 in the meantime, though, and needs to do better than when returned to the AW at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; stable also runs Novak. |

5th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not been in much form off his lower turf mark this season, coming 12lb down the weights; is 3lb lower than when last seen on the AW but it may just be he's on the downgrade now. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
29th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he showed some good AW form earlier this year; however, he's without a win on turf since 2019 and he's been unable to threaten on grass on his recent starts. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (12) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

Retains plenty of gusto aged nine and scored in big field at Chelmsford most recently, completing an AW hat-trick; successful (off just 1lb lower) in this race two years ago; likely player. |

All seven wins have been on Tapeta, including four over C&D; very well treated on his best form last winter but he's been out of sorts in last eight runs and needs a major revival back from four months off. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent. |
9/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who has dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last May; he could improve for this month's reappearance run over C&D but he failed to threaten, which was also the case on his final few outings last season; needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |
|
9th 14 (12) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Below par in 2025 after winning at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May; now 1lb lower but this is a warm race for his reappearance and he'll have to be right at the top of his game. |
