9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

1st 3 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when landing a C&D handicap last month and followed up under a 4lb penalty at Lingield (1m) a week later; another 4lb higher here but he can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f; ridden by Billy Loughnane); 4lb penalty to shoulder but he won off a higher mark as recently as October; one of two solid contenders for Tony Carroll. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |

9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |

Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |
33/1 |

10th 9 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Enjoyed a revival in the second half of 2025, winning five 5f handicaps on good ground or slower; no show over 6f when last seen in November and he returns to action off a tough mark. |

2nd Aug 2023 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from eight starts but he bounced back with a close third at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; raised his form to a new level with that bold bid and he's a key player if he can back that up off the same mark; cheekpieces added. |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Redcar (1m, good) four weeks ago but in good form previously, with a novice win at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) then a handicap third at Leicester (1m, good to firm), and he's not ruled out. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |

1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been back in fine form of late, landing a pair of 7f handicaps at Catterick; up another 3lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Generally very consistent last season and was back in peak form when scoring in refitted blinkers at Windsor (1m, good) this month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but can still pose a threat; often leads. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (12) |
15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Fair fifth at Newmarket in May, before a lesser show 11 days ago; peak 2023 efforts (one C&D) came when blinkers were enlisted on last five starts and they now return for the first time this season; one to note. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

Sits third, one place behind Aisling Oscar, in the All Weather Horse of the Year standings after his fine winter; yet to win at Wolverhampton but he has run well here; Billy Loughnane takes over tonight; each-way shout. |

Recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; respectable third on similar surface at this course (1m1f) most recently; has slipped back to an attractive mark and enters calculations. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |
9/2 |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for this yard when beating 12 rivals at Windsor in July (1m, soft); not so good in Doncaster classified event four weeks ago but this return to Class 6 will help and he has the ability to feature. |
14/1 |
|
4 (7) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
These terms don't appear that favourable at face value but he returned to winning ways in a 1m handicap at Windsor (soft; second run in this headgear combination) and he was worthy of a much higher mark last year; considered. |

Debut winner in France but hasn't added to tally since and disappointing in Britain; has tumbled in the weights and bit better last time but needs to raise game further if he's to win. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-13 since making a successful debut in France as a 3yo and hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in his last seven starts (visor fitted last time, now removed); easily opposed back from four months off. |
