21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Habitual slow starter who is 0-24 in Britain; now 5lb lower than when finishing well for third at Kempton (6f) in December but this year's form has been disappointing; others are much less risky. |

Habitual slow starter who is 0-23 in Britain; perked up with a close third over C&D (20-1) in December but he's struggled in last two runs and others carry fewer risks. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win this year but she's tackled some stronger handicaps and she has shaped encouragingly the last twice; stiff 6f shouldn't hold any terrors and she has run well in both AW assignments; stable banging in the winners and she's of obvious interest. |

Hold-up sprinter; just one win to his name since May 2022; shaped with some promise at Haydock three weeks ago (after a break) and he's on a fair mark; effective at the track. |

Below par on both runs this term but didn't perform badly at Hamilton in May last time on good going that may not have been ideal; now 2lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (soft) last year and the more rain the better. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back to winning ways in a C&D classified event in July; similar form back here in handicap company two weeks ago; a good early pace would play to his strengths. |
7/2 |

6th 11 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form. |

Won debut last June but no impact since; his six starts for this yard include two at this track; continues down the weights and now moves up from 6f, with a hood added; others are more solid. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won on debut last June but failed to kick on for the Charltons and has struggled in his four starts for this yard, the addition of these accessories not helping over 5f here last week; races off the same mark today and he has enough to prove. |

Made a winning debut at Chelmsford; beaten in his five handicaps but got closer when beaten just over a length at Newcastle (6f) last time and he was running on after a slow start; considered. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Good strike-rate on AW and he's run creditably on his last three starts; drops back in trip and he's one to take seriously. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

4-9 on Tapeta including two wins over 6f here; 7lb below his last winning mark and has run with credit over 7f at Southwell in his last two starts, but this stiffer track does pose a question. |
