2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |
|

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course scorer (also goes well on soft) but yet to fire this season and underwent breathing surgery before coming in only ninth of 12 over 7f here eight days ago; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces now. |
33/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Prolific course winner, including this race in 2024, and he has dropped a long way in the weights; that is a result of some low-key runs this year and a wind operation since the latest is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His mark continues to fall and he has lots of good form on soft and heavy ground; won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but this 9yo has struggled more recently and he needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
5 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won narrowly off his lower AW mark in March; returned from layoff with down-the-field AW run this month but combination of refitted cheekpieces and heavy rain could prompt a more dynanic performance. |
14/1 |
|
13 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways over C&D (soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (1m, soft); his last four wins have come on soft ground but he showed solid form on good going last year and this 8yo could go well once more. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

27th May 2023 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

His two wins have come at 1m on turf (good to firm) and Tapeta; placed four times since his last success in November but he's lost his way at Doncaster (1m) and here (7f) in last two starts; now returns to much quicker ground but he needs to bounce back near his best. |

Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |
