Nowhere in this 12 months ago but returns in better form having won on the July course last month by nearly 5l and then close up at Newcastle off this 8lb higher mark; in the mix. |

Promising fifth on debut at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in December 2021 then absent until stable debut at Beverley (1m2f, good to soft) this April; may have needed latest run but big step forward required on second start back. |

Winner of ten races on the AW including three over C&D; still 1lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest he remains capable of playing a part. |

9st 12lb |
3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success. |
9/4 |

Infrequent winner but she made a promising return from a 108-day break here two weeks ago; talented claimer takes off a valuable 3lb; shortlisted. |

Easy winner of a 1m handicap at Southwell last September when 9lb lower; up and down since and needs to be at her best to take this after 108 days off. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who has regressed and is on a 23-race losing run; however, he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month and was a fair fifth at Doncaster (1m) eight days later; effective on Polytrack; chance. |

On a near two-year losing spell but he's in fair form having made the frame a couple of times in recent starts; on a reduced mark and drops to Class 6 for the first time, so can't be dismissed. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent since beginning this year with two 1m Polytrack wins (one here) and lost out only narrowly after enduring a wide trip at Kempton three weeks ago; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but probably won't be far away. |
12/1 |

Some creditable efforts on turf this summer prior to backward steps the last twice; has form figures of 211 in 1m handicaps on Polytrack and looks interesting back in this scenario. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Without a win since May 2023 and generally very disappointing for current stable since last spring; ran okay behind Purple Martini over C&D two starts ago but still makes only limited appeal; sports refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie. |
20/1 |

10th 4 (3) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-20; continues to ease in the weights, down to a career-low mark, but hasn't shown enough in either of his last two starts (both 7f at Musselburgh) to suggest his turn is imminent; these newly applied blinkers need to work their magic. |

9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

6th 4 (9) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3rd Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins on Tapeta, the handicap off only 2lb lower (1m); only subsequent blip came two runs back in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newmarket and he soon steadied the ship at Southwell; unlikely to be far away. |
4/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4yo with a record of 2-7; won on Tapeta in two of his first three starts and he resumed his progress when runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to soft) last month; on same mark here but he was disappointing in blinkers at Newmarket (5-2 favourite) last time and needs to bounce back after that. |

Third of 12 in a classified event at this track over 1m2f in March but he's disappointed in two starts in handicaps since and is now 0-15; steps up in trip with the hood now removed; return to 0-50 classified company can help. |

Ran no race on latest outing, having boiled over in the preliminaries, and is now 0-14 but gave pretty good account when placed in 1m2f Lingfield classified two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D; could have a say if new headgear has positive effect. |
