14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time). |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner who had lost his way but bounced back with a narrow defeat on stable debut over 1m2f here a month ago; unraced over quite this far but couldn't rule out. |

2nd 7 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Four of his five wins have come on the AW including one here (7f); losing run up to 24 and makes his stable debut after seven months off having changed hands for 1,000gns in February; market should reveal what is expected. |

14/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 but he ran a big race at a big price when third in classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he has each-way claims again if he can repeat that form. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Winless since 2023 and he beat only one after six months off in 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford ten days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not the easiest to catch right but had hood refitted when gaining a third C&D win in classified event six days ago; she needs to back it up with the headgear retained. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 14, but she won two handicaps over C&D in the spring of last year and ran well to finish third of ten in a similar race to this over the same trip in January; not the best of draws, but respected on her best form. |

17th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time AW winner (seven times over C&D); not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but went very close in similar race to this over C&D last month and rebounded from a lesser effort when third here three weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple C&D winner who went desperately close in a classified event here 17 days ago; less good at Southwell last week and a bit more on his plate back in a handicap; not ruled out though. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
21st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won over C&D but he tends to reserve his best for the extended 1m at Wolverhampton, as when collared in the final stride two weeks ago; no certainty to be in the same form this time. |

15th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Brighton specialist who is 0-22 on AW surfaces but does act on Tapeta; not beaten far on her last four starts and is an each-way player again. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won four times at Brighton in 2022; 0-13 last year and only fourth on her return to action on Saturday; conditions suit and she's capable at this level but she'll need to up her game if she's to gain her first AW win at the 22nd attempt. |
5/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has done all his winning on turf but lost out only by a head in 1m2f Polytrack handicap at Chelmsford in November and his fourth over that C&D a few days later was also a decent effort; today's trip-and-surface combination will also suit; likely contender. |

1st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on softer than good; ninth attempt when off the mark in a ten-runner classified at Yarmouth (11.4f, good) last time and she did it in clearcut style, leading 1f out; player if reproducing that form and some earlier efforts weren't far away. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
9th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-8 but she has shown promise, notably over C&D in June and at Leicester a fortnight later; not so good at Bath four weeks ago (upped to 1m5f) but this is a drop in grade and she's more appealing than many; unraced on slower than good. |
4/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven-race maiden but she's run well in her last two handicaps including a third of eight at Leicester (1m4f, good; behind a progressive subsequent winner) two weeks ago; has claims if she can find a bit extra at this new trip. |

Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

C&D winner but his last success was 19 months ago and he's been well held at Chepstow (1m/7f) in last two starts; cheekpieces are removed after one use and he needs to raise his game back on AW; one of three runnners for the yard. |

Soundly beaten on the Flat this month but finished well to go close at Stratford (2m, good to soft) on latest hurdle start in April and is probably worth another crack at 2m4f; could have a say. |

On a modest run of form in final starts for Nigel Tinkler but better treated now than when going close over 1m3f at Southwell in December and new trainer is enjoying a good run; turnaround on the cards. |

8th 8 (7) |
5th May 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Had plenty of chances at this sort of level over the winter, mainly over a bit further, and looked to have no complaints behind two of tonight's rivals here three weeks ago. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (4) |
13th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but he has run some good races in defeat this winter and conditions shouldn't be an issue; each-way claims again. |
