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 |

3rd 10 (2) |
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. |

Without a win since 2024 and struggles continued behind Call Time here last week (33-1); now tries blinkers; ground no issue. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven-time winner (once on heavy ground) but not since 2024; safely held on all three starts this season (5f-6f) and her handicap mark bottomed out a while ago; revival needed. |
20/1 |

29th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
7/4 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
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. |

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. |

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 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f scorer in 2025; yet to add to that this season and cheekpieces are tried having beaten just two in 5f Newcastle handicap 12 days ago. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prolific down the years but it has been 13 months since the last of them; went close off this mark at Nottingham last month but she failed to back it up at Hamilton eight days later; others preferred for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark. |
