15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was off 9lb higher over 1m4f at Brighton in September 2023; some efforts on AW during the winter were respectable but his return to Brighton last month saw him tailed off after a slow start; none too solid. |
12/1 |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His last success was off 7lb higher over C&D (good) but that was in September 2023; some respectable efforts on AW during the winter and wasn't disgraced back over hurdles in March but others are more persuasive. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Recorded best effort this term at classified level; on a near three-year losing spell; not a solid option but ground softer than good would be in his favour. |

1st Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Finished third in this contest 12 months ago but is far from certain to repeat that effort; has lost his form badly since finishing second at Chepstow in June and needs to rebound. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |
5/2 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is a five-time winner at Wolverhampton; close second, clear of remainder, in C&D classified race last time; leading claims. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row on turf (11.6f/1m2f) in September 2023 but he's been lightly raced since and has finished down the field in his three runs this winter; AW record now stands at 1-24 and others are preferred. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
No obvious benefits from wind surgery when trailing home last on the Flat last month; only 1-16 as a chaser and wasn't in much form over fences earlier this year. |

3rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Regressive over fences; has undergone wind surgery since last seen in May; well beaten in two Flat runs last summer; enough to prove. |
