17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner at 1m last June but under the parapet thereafter and he never reached a challenging position at Newcastle last month (dual winner there); temptingly treated but risky. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and has finished down the field in last three runs but he defied this mark over C&D (good to firm) in June; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he can get back near best. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving. |

2nd 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Improved with each of his three runs in novice company, finishing fourth of ten over 7f at Southwell 19 days ago; makes his handicap debut at a realistic level and it would be no surprise to see him go well; well beaten in one turf run (good) but that was his racecourse debut. |

6th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Just modest form in two starts, faring better switched to the AW at Kempton last week (7f); yard going well and this is a weak novice so he holds each-way claims with further progress on the cards. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Ties in with a couple of today's rivals on C&D reappearance form but ideally needs a return to further; yet to score over a bare 5f; gained his Bath win over the extended 5f. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Big chance on last season's form but he's been struggling this time around; dropping down the weights but soft ground would ask a new question of him and he's usually seen over further. |

8st 12lb |
3-13 here, taking advantage of a favourable mark when successful at this track (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) this month; only 2lb higher and still well treated on last summer's form; player. |

1st 4 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps, more recently when finishing in midfield at Yarmouth on Thursday (7f, soft); the addition of blinkers needs to give her a major lift. |

6th 8 (6) |
21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Bred to win races but hasn't been quick enough for 6f contests (on slow/fast ground), the latest her handicap debut at Salisbury when 16-1; this longer trip is worth a go but plenty of guesswork involved to make a case. |

Won twice for Martyn Meade at a much higher level back in 2019, but has failed to score since; always behind at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 40-1, held by Storm Asset) last time; highly unlikely to offer the solution. |
