2nd 1 (2) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |
11/4 |
|
1 (3) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |
12/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins over 1m3f/1m4f, including at Southwell (narrowly) in October when last seen; the 8yo is still competitively treated on historical data but has something to prove back down in trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2lb higher than when narrowly returning to winning form at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that was in a steadily run race, but he has a good record here (4711134) including two wins over this trip; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Shaped quite nicely from off the pace in a Southwell handicap three weeks ago (1m6f); dangerous if he can build on it and he is a C&D winner on a dangerous mark. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back-to-back 1m4f wins on Polytrack/Tapeta earlier this year and the race didn't go her way when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton last week; good chance at this lower level. |
11/4 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well held on turf in her two runs this season but she's 2-3 on AW and both those wins were by 5l in 1m4f handicaps in February; still looks feasibly treated on her best form and she's interesting back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
11th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two stylish wins over 1m4f on AW in February and this lightly raced 3yo hasn't had many goes on turf; however, tailed off when back on grass at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) recently and has something to prove after that. |

5th 2 (5) |
24th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago but she had been running well in defeat beforehand; stamina for this trip not yet assured and a tongue tie needs to have a positive effect. |
13/2 |

6th 2 |
27th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins last year, two of them at this track over the extended 1m (stays 1m2f); placed on her last three starts and Tommie Jakes' 7lb claim will be an asset today; unlikely to be too far away. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |
13/2 |

6th 3 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Currently 2-2 round here, both over 1m4f; proved consistent during a limited campaign this year, following wind surgery, bar a forgivable blip in a race that didn't pan out his way latest; a player if stamina holds now going beyond 1m4f for the first time. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win in 1m handicap here in 2021 but didn't achieve anything special in his only course start since; work to do on balance of 2023 form. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent type with a record of 1-14; didn't fire at Sandown (1m6f) last time but he went close at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run and has claims if he can recapture that form; has worn cheekpieces in last two starts. |

20th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-David Simcock; losing run goes back three years and he's been off for a year but he has won on Fibresand here and was 22lb higher than today than when going close over C&D in 2022; likely to need a run or two but worth looking out for with the future in mind. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-29 on AW but gained the win at Southwell (in 2022) and is currently in a consistent vein of form, mainly here and most recently at Chelmsford; frame possibilities. |
