29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Back to form with a good second at Wolverhampton last week (7f); has a C&D win on his record and a repeat of that latest run would give him a chance but consistency hasn't always been his strong suit. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |

29th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden for Charles Hills but the switch to new surroundings could suit and she's on a reasonable mark on the pick of her form; can't rule out on first run since November. |
7/1 |

9th 5 (5) |
7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo (0-8) who did well to finish second of 12 at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) last time given she was pestered on the lead and pulled hard; first and fourth won next time and respected back on Polytrack. |

9st 4lb |
On dangerous mark and is versatile ground-wise but his last win was in 2023 and he's struggled in both runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround after a break. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

On a workable mark and versatile regarding ground, but last month's seasonal debut (7f) was very disappointing and he needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing; blinkers refitted. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Veteran who is on a lengthy losing run; can lead but didn't at Windsor last time and was never involved; if on his game he wouldn't be without hope. |
8/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Veteran who is on a losing run of 22; knocking on the door on AW when last seen and he won't mind getting back on the grass; has made the running but it is not a prerequisite; could go well. |

4th 10 (3) |

Four turf wins in 2021 and thrown in on that form; missed last season though and he hasn't got going in six runs since his return in June; goes without his usual tongue-tie; can't be recommended at present. |

20th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who lacks solidity, having failed to back up her Leicester effort (50-1 third over 6f) in two subsequent runs; first-time hood needs to help. |

Five-race maiden; showed clear signs of improvement at Leicester (dropped to 6f) four weeks ago, finishing third to Hurt You Never who was on the second leg of her four timer; may build on that effort. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Multiple winner down the years but is 0-7 this term and her form has declined to some degree, as current mark reflects; drops back to Class 6 for the first time in a while. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Only fifth in a field of six last week at Nottingham, but was close up behind Spirit Of Applause and that represented some return to form. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner who returned to form when third at Ripon (5f, good) in May and is 5lb lower today; however, this 7yo has struggled on both starts since and has something to prove. |
