8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |

Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |

Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

20th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has taken off in recent weeks, making it four wins in a row (the last three under Tommie Jakes) when fending off another in-form filly (pair clear) at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; steps up in grade and trip here but further progress can't be discounted. |
6/1 |

9th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has taken off in recent weeks, winning her last three starts, the last two under Tommie Jakes including a cosy success over 7f here on Saturday; no problem with the return to this trip and respected in her bid for the four-timer despite the penalty. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Took a while to get off the mark but now on a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) and Lingfield (7f; Sixties Chic third) last month; the latter success came under today's rider Tommie Jakes; another good runs is on the cards. |

9st 10lb |
Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Readily saw off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; has something to prove again and he has form figures of 5097 at Bath. |

7th 6 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Disappointing favourite here (1m) last month when bidding for a four-timer; progressive filly otherwise and could well bounce back; her most recent win came over 7f; not written off. |

29th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins came at around 1m on Tapeta last autumn but she's finished down the field in her last five runs; soft ground may have caused her downfall at Beverley last time but she needs to rediscover her spark back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
16th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Dual Tapeta winner last autumn, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, who ran fairly well back on turf after a break six weeks ago; there's nothing to suggest she wants soft ground though. |

Three-time winner over C&D including twice in the autumn; 9lb lower than for the most recent, but he will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to take advantage; first-time blinkers replace the usual visor. |

Won off 7lb higher here (8.6f) in October, but unplaced in all 12 starts since, including when last of 11 over C&D last month; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2lb higher than when narrowly returning to winning form at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that was in a steadily run race, but he has a good record here (4711134) including two wins over this trip; respected. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (1) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Shaped quite nicely from off the pace in a Southwell handicap three weeks ago (1m6f); dangerous if he can build on it and he is a C&D winner on a dangerous mark. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

9st 5lb |
All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins at sprint trips; more modest efforts than good ones since a 6f claiming success at Wolverhampton in August and didn't shine over 7f and 1m for new yard in November. |
66/1 |
|
12th 14 (11) |
20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has done his winning at sprint distances; inconsistent, including over 7f, since last success and has something to prove at this new trip on second run for new yard. |
