3rd Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Ran as though something was amiss four weeks ago but is accustomed to stronger races than this and is now 3lb lower than when placed for Joe Bradnam at Kempton (1m3f) in September; player if back on song. |

9st 11lb |
0-12 since winning off 6lb higher over C&D at the start of 2022, but in the frame in three of his five starts since returning from over a year off in November; one for the shortlist. |

3-11 on AW; 0-6 for current yard but has been placed in two of his last three races and ties in closely with Artisan Dancer on latest effort; each-way possibilities off same mark. |

9st 2lb |
Two 1m6f wins on her record, the latest on turf off a 1lb lower mark in June; generally held her form since, third of eight at Chelmsford 11 days ago, but more needed to come out on top here. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won here in 2020; ended a long losing spell with a win at Newbury (1m3f) in June but finished last on both starts since; has not seen much action beyond 1m4f but ran creditably in a muddling 2m race on Kempton AW last November; others look more solid. |
20/1 |

9th 9 (1) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Disappointing favourite when last of four over 1m2f last month but ended long losing spell with quite comfortable win at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip; big player if back on song. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
4th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Was winning for the first time since February 2021 when successful in another apprentice event at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) nine days ago; just 1lb wrong under his penalty and a contender now that he is back in form; wouldn't want rain, but he's not alone there. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |
10/1 |

13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
18/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Veteran who has lost his way since winning over this far at Lingfield in June (good to soft) but he is dropping back from Class 4 level. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well-beaten when back over hurdles last month but stayed on well from poor position to go close under Natasha Cookson at Kelso (2m5f, good) ten days ago and looks well worth a crack at 3m. |
7/2 |
|

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground. |
