12th 4 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

5th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7f winner at two but wasn't seeing out his races this year until dropped back to 6f at Yarmouth (close third on good ground) two weeks ago; still unexposed at this distance; interesting off the same mark. |

Hasn't this year matched form of 7f AW win from last September and didn't get home over that trip at Newbury last time; unlikely to be inconvenienced by the return to 6f. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |
|
10 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Scraped home over C&D in April but he's been through difficult times since and although he ran well for a long way back over 7f here last time out he did drop out quickly in the closing stages; has a shade to prove. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months. |

28th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Second of two wins was in April 2024 when trained by Luke Dace; has shown little in two starts for current trainer this year; first-time visor goes on but hard to recommend. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |
16/1 |

10 (7) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Easy win over C&D in December off 3lb lower; should be sharper with his recent return to action behind him but others preferred at this level. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

In good order last winter, winning easily at Chelmsford last December and finishing second over C&D (off 2lb higher) in January; drawn wide on his return from 226 days off and likely there will be other days. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Multiple winner who lacks a recent run but he's consistent in the main and not handicapped out of it; market could be informative. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here. |

19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |
20/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Did too much up front kept to AW on return from break last time, again running below the form of his January win; effective on turf but has never defied a mark as high as current one. |
