13th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins for Charles Hills and feasibly treated on last season's best; should come on for last month's stable debut here but he will need to leave that effort well behind. |
40/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise on AW for Charles Hills but his three wins have come on turf; doubt he's handicapped out of things for new yard (sold for 6,000gns in October) but he'll need to be at his best back from 173 days off. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (3) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has missed two chunks of his career but returned from the latest one in good form, finding plenty to win going away at Newbury before just losing out there in June (both at 6f on good; has won on soft); solid chance under Kieran Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him. |

22nd Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Off a whopping 1252 days before his reappearance but this 8yo retains all his ability, finishing second in 6f handicaps at Ascot (soft) and Newbury (good) in May; fine at 7f and high on the shortlist with Billy Loughnane taking 3lb off. |

Dual winner (non-handicaps on soft) who has improved with each run this season and did well to finish fourth of 15 at Newbury (6f, soft) after rearing at the start (plenty to do even 2f out); not your typical 8yo with only 12 starts behind him; shortlisted. |

Has a record of 2-7 over C&D (both wins on good to firm) and although not in quite the same form this year as she was last summer, such as when going close off 13lb higher on this track, she wasn't far away back here two starts ago; no surprise to see her go well. |

5yo who improved his turf record to 3-9 when justifying support at Leicester (6f, soft) last month; up 3lb for that narrow win but he beat a clear second and this return to forecast quicker ground is no problem; respected for in-form yard. |

8th 2 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |

9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |

His last win was in December 2024 but he's finished runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in his last two starts including behind Lequinto on his penultimate run; didn't get much luck when returned to hold-up tactics last Monday and he looks interesting with Oisin Murphy booked again. |

Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |
