13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years; not at very best this summer but he drops into a classified race with apprentice Myla Coppins taking off a useful 7lb; may need more of a test these days. |

Good runs on the AW earlier this year but unconvincing since those and has another switch on the headgear front. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Veteran who has won only twice in 56 career starts and this season's fourths were remote; 2lb out of the weights. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner but last of those was in April 2023; just his second run this year when finishing with a flourish to take fifth of 11 over C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago; not the force of old but has possibilities if able to build on that run. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who has raced only once this year, when soundly beaten in 1m6f AW handicap in July; suited by this C&D and rain will aid his cause but it's very hard to gauge how much ability he retains. |

10st 0lb |
Regressive maiden who's undergone two rounds of wind surgery this year; the tongue-tie goes back on tonight, along with first-time cheekpieces, and would want to see good support before considering him. |
