13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time course winner over 8.6f; she hasn't run badly on her last two visits to Wolverhampton but a lower draw would have been preferable. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back on the same mark as C&D win in March; not fared as well since, but has been off for two months after a below-par run on turf in July; needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) on latest hurdling start in March and subsequently won a bottom-grade Flat race but his subsequent Flat form was disappointing and he has stamina to prove today. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Narrowly landed a similar event over C&D in March, but well held in three handicaps since; return to this level should help, but others are preferred for the win. |

Got up on the line to bag 1m4f AW classified event in March but he's made little impact in two subsequent handicaps and is 0-7 here. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Twice unplaced on the Kempton Polytrack (1m3f/1m4f) since returning in May, but just 2lb higher than when winning over C&D last November; shortlisted now returned here. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
12th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here in 2021; most outings in 2023 came on turf and Tapeta, notably two wins (11.4f/1m4f) in the autumn; 22-1 when well held on reappearance here three weeks ago but probably needed the race; more interesting this time. |
5/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
22nd May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner in late 2021; most outings in 2023 came on turf and Tapeta, the most recent win coming when nipping clear at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November; back up 3lb; needs to prove wellbeing back from break. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who resumed from five months off with a solid fourth of eight in 1m4f Lingfield handicap a week ago; not out of things off the same mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Just low-level hurdle form on his last two starts; last year's Flat best, which came over C&D, would give him a squeak but others look stronger for win purposes. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat (1m-1m4f) but always in low-grade handicaps; will need to take very well to hurdling to pose a threat here. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All five wins have been off lower marks and has to bounce back from a couple of shockers, the latest in a first-time tongue-tie that's retained. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Raced mainly on turf, winning five times off lower marks; best efforts this term when runner-up twice at Bath; chance back on AW partly depends on the effects of first-time tongue-tie. |
11/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has two course wins over 1m2f; has run well on all three starts this summer but is 4lb above his last winning mark and remains vulnerable. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D last summer but that remains his only success from 38 starts, and he was well beaten over 1m2f on latest outing two months ago; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Hold-up performer who has plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win; been running no more than fairly well in 0-50 company this year, including back on turf last time. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

Strike-rate of 1-36 but not had many chances at 1m4f over which he was beaten 3l in a classified race on the AW last time; possible. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Much better for tackling this sort of ground for the first time when springing a surprise at Yarmouth last Monday; experienced Alex Jary's 5lb claim goes some way towards clawing back the penalty. |

1st 7 (1) |
16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m4f maiden for Roger Varian but she's yet to show that form for her current yard, coming in last of 11 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 23 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten over 7f in first two handicaps (both on AW in summer) and also when upped to 1m2f on heavy turf 11 days ago; drops back to 1m with blinkers tried here; not the obvious answer. |
66/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole turf effort, when best of the rest behind an easy winner here (1m, soft), a cut above his four AW runs; his two handicap efforts since have been poor, though, and stamina isn't assured on pedigree; market useful. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb
|
Limited maiden (6f-1m2f) who struggled in early summer; the combination of a gelding operation, first-time headgear and different ground conditions needs to help massively after five months off. |
33/1 |

10th 6 (14) |
12th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each of his three runs as a 2yo for Dominic Ffrench Davis; gone backwards in two handicaps for this yard (at about 7f) and he's not really bred for this far. |
