24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove. |
20/1 |

9th 3 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Close third over C&D in November off 3lb higher but he's finished down the field in his last three starts and his last win was over two years ago; others preferred. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win since February 2024; caught late by Latin Five (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb worse off) over C&D three starts back; less competitive at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton since; must bounce back. |

Always tended to do best in the second half of the year but has been on the downgrade for a while; didn't build on a fair comeback behind Symbol Of Hope in the spring last time. |

Always tended to do best in the second half of the year but he's adaptable regarding ground and is well treated now; offered enough behind Media Guest on his recent comeback here (lost both front shoes) to suggest he's worth a look. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since June 2022 but produced three solid efforts here when making the frame in May/June; below that form when seventh of eight at Windsor in July but not out of this if he can recapture his form. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Without a win for over three years but has made the frame in three consecutive Chepstow handicaps (5f-6f) since cheekpieces were refitted in May and has obvious each-way claims here. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 (3) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Getting on for three years since his last success but he's reached a basement mark and there were encouraging signs when second over 6f here last week; bold bid expected back at 5f. |

Off the mark at the tenth attempt when dead-heating in a six-runner handicap at Salisbury seven weeks ago (5f, good); 3lb rise could find her out in this deeper race. |

5yo who is 0-8 and has been well held in her last three handicaps (5f, good to firm); mark is tumbling and she may have needed the run at Nottingham last month but others are more convincing. |

Won twice off higher marks last year and hinted at possible return to form when sixth here (5f, good) this month; never really looked dangerous when midfield over C&D a week ago and needs to up his game. |

28th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; knocking at the door at Wolverhampton of late, second last month and then running a fine race for third back there 11 days ago when setting a strong pace and only picked off late; well drawn and another big run looks assured. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Wins have come mainly from the front and he came back to form when making most behind Global Effort over C&D last time (0-50 classified); is 2lb better off with that one and has a handy draw. |
7/1 |

2nd 10 (2) |

C&D win last summer at this level; chased home My Turn Now at Chelmsford in November but he's not been at that level on his last three starts; well drawn but needs a revival. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

5th Jul 2023 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Mixed profile in 2023 but 15lb below the mark of her one win as a result; couldn't last home on unsuitably soft ground at Brighton last time (6f), but more in her favour here so long as she races a little less freely. |

Maiden (0-9); a bit better at Ffos Las (5f classified race) on her penultimate start but has taken a backward step at Bath since; fairly swiftly dismissed. |

|
12th 13 (2) |
12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden but she found improvement on her drop to 5f when fifth in a classified event at Ffos Las (good; 66-1) last month; was beaten less than 2l in that race and has possibilities if she can build on that back in a handicap. |

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. |
