10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two non-handicaps on good ground at Worcester last summer; placed in two of his three handicaps and there's improvement in his jumping; not ruled out, despite the absence. |

prominent, not fluent 2nd, not fluent 3rd, outpaced after 3 out, hampered by faller 2 out, weakened approaching last |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dictated a steady pace when winning a C&D novice by 4l last time, having previously finished a close third on handicap debut (4lb lower); he was useful on the Flat and may have more to offer as a jumper. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Unexposed 4yo who has been mainly consistent so far, winning once from eight starts and finishing placed on the other seven occasions; bit below form when third of five at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month so the return to this trip looks a positive; unraced on ground faster than good. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
7th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won 7f Chepstow maiden (good) last summer and placed in 1m AW handicaps on all three subsequent outings, the latest on last month's seasonal debut; moves up in trip here and probably still has potential; shortlisted. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed 6yo who concedes weight to 3yo rivals but brings positives, being the only C&D scorer in the field and a winner off 2lb higher in most recent attempt in this grade. |
11/2 |

5th 4 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 7-50; won off this mark in March but well beaten in three of his four subsequent runs and has become hard to predict. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Some useful Flat form in 2023 and his hurdle mark continues to fall, but tailed off/pulled up the last twice and needs to turn things around. |

Not beaten far when fifth from off the pace over C&D two runs back and it was over 2m when never counting at Chepstow; this race looks more suitable. |
