30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Made all at Lingfield (5f classified) in January but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable to finishers in five subsequent runs; could be the same story here and he looks opposable back in a handicap. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar contest at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January and his proven early speed is an asset over this C&D, but the outside stall poses a problem; cheekpieces return. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
8th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Fifth AW win came over 5f at Lingfield in January in second-time cheekpieces but backward steps since and was well beaten at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago; he's won on turf but needs to return to form in the added blinkers. |

Only one win from 47 starts and hasn't been at best since that success last August; soundly beaten for new yard last time and makes no appeal. |

25th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 41st attempt when landing a Bath maiden (5.7f) in August but he's been well held in five runs since including on Tapeta in last three starts; continues to drop back down the weights but he has questions to answer for new yard; blinkers removed. |

25th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best known for her Bath work (ended a losing run in a 0-50 classified event there late last month) but she goes well here too; on the downgrade but arrives in form and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so needs considering. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Snapped a lengthy losing run in a C&D classified race 13 days ago; that's resulted in a 6lb rise but still likely to go well if in similar form. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best form on good or quicker ground; three course wins over the extended 5f and 5f; having a mixed year but was only just touched off at Chepstow in June and her luck was out in a C&D classified next time; can be involved. |

Veteran who has shown only occasional glimpses of retaining ability this year; others look safer. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped better when having a troubled run at Chepstow last week but he has something to find on these terms and was never in contention in a similar C&D race in July. |
33/1 |
|
8th 13 (13) |
24th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Over three years since the last of his six wins and he has to bounce back from a low-key run at Bath on Saturday; others look much safer. |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Slow starter is drawn on the inside; seemingly right back to form when 100-1 third over C&D last time but very much benefited from sitting off a strong pace; this may not pan out so well. |

Habitual slow starter whose only win (28 races) was a maiden in 2021; has not shown enough this July-September. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice at a modest level for previous yard; 0-5 for current stable and form dipped sharply in August when last seen; others preferred. |

0 2 (11) |
8th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins came over 5f on turf/Tapeta last year; fair fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, soft) on her penultmate start, but drawn wide and more is needed, even at this level. |

5th Jul 2023 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8; keeping-on Lingfield Polytrack third (6f) in April hasn't been built upon twice since on Tapeta or (latest, here) quick turf; peak efforts all at 6f, so this first drop to the minimum isn't necessarily a plus. |
12/1 |

26th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ran well in the face of strong market support at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f) but he hasn't used that a springboard to better things; enough to prove for now. |

8th 10 (1) |
2nd May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Placed in two of his three handicaps and going beyond 6f for the first time should benefit; well worth considering. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden who achieved little in sole outing this season; good chance on peak handicap effort but comes with risk. |
14/1 |

10th 7 (8) |
24th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden; went desperately close at Windsor last June (5f, good to firm) but that hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things; this is likely to be the slowest ground she's tackled and she looks best watched back from 225 days off. |

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. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

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. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
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. |
