18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Last summer's Ascot win (5f) not quite a distant memory but there has been little to cheer since, with poor starts (and a refusal to race) becoming a feature; can't be supported with confidence. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a sprinter with a big future when winning a well-contested 5f handicap at Ascot last summer but he refused to race at Goodwood 17 days later and he's been well beaten in three runs this year, starting slowly at both Epsom and Ascot on his last two outings; this is his first start at 6f and given he has been headstrong, it isn't sure to suit; not short of ability but the risks are obvious. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Up-and-coming sprinter in 2024, best form when beating a high-class rival over C&D (good; handles good to soft) last July; however, he refused to race later that month and hasn't been sighted in two runs this year; too talented to ignore but he's back from another break today. |

9st 9lb |
Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; his last win was in April 2024 but he was much better than this level in his time and he ran several good races at Brighton (5.3f) last season; returns after 235 days off but he needs a close look for in-form yard. |

Soft ground was no issue back in the spring when winning in novice and handicap company; progress has rather stalled but it wasn't a bad run last time and she's on a decent mark. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent over 5f-6f during summer but yet to win this year and form has dipped lately; will find this easier than latest task and won't mind if the ground softens but younger rivals have more appealing profiles. |

Reliable sort who broke losing run over C&D last month; didn't improve for the return to 6f last time but he'll be happier back at this trip and he's not without a chance. |

8th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't raced over 6f since the 2023 Ayr Bronze Cup; some solid 5f form this winter and, while the trip is a slight query (0-16), he was placed in a 0-85 in July 2022; today's rider knows him and is good value for his claim, especially in an apprentice race; could go well. |

9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |

Smart in his prime and he retained sufficient ability to win a Salisbury handicap last summer off 13lb higher; not really fired this year though and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

13th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Veteran who hasn't hit top gear yet in 2024 but who is eligible for Class 6 company as a result; other pace to deal with here and could prove vulnerable once again. |

Veteran with just one win to his name in the last three years; that came off a 6lb higher mark but he wasn't near his best on last month's seasonal return; step forward is required. |

First run for this yard when beating three rivals on heavy at Ffos Las and nearly followed up at Goodwood (good); took a backward step last time at Sandown but didn't run badly; respected with conditions no issue. |

Improved to win on heavy ground at Ffos Las returned to turf in August after four-month break (first run for the yard) and matched that effort on a sound surface at Goodwood last time; likely to go well. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing. |
