26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up at Lingfield (1m, AW) in May on second start and occupied same position at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June behind a subsequent Group 3 winner; soundly beaten fourth of six on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, good) last time and needs to settle better today but he retains potential. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (1m-1m2f) but his last success was over 2m on AW last March; on dangerous mark but he's returned from a lengthy absence with two low-key runs this summer including over C&D; bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (11) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner who has dropped 2lb lower then last successful and has twice won off the back of an absence; however, he didn't show enough back from 313 days off at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month to be of immediate interest. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |

1st Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Had wind surgery since last run; should be suited by this sharp scenario on stable/hurdles debut, having gained his Flat wins over 7f/1m on good ground; interesting. |

His nursery win came off a similar mark; beaten favourite on his last three starts and some hanging didn't help last time at Windsor; others appeal more. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |
|
2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |
|

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |
5/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time winner who is 3lb beneath his last winning mark; however, he hasn't offered all that much in three runs following a break and wind surgery. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |
