12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

26th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three of four wins have come over 1m2f at Chelmsford, the latest an easy success in January; should appreciate the return to the AW after finishing out of the frame in two starts on turf, but this is the longest trip he has ever attempted. |

11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins on AW but 0-6 on turf (has run well on good to firm); switching from blinkers to cheekpieces didn't help matters at Ripon last month and he now returns to 1m; others appeal more. |

27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Four-time winner but very opposable on her modest form for current yard and the new headgear combination will need to help in a big way. |

8th 1 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time winner but her last turf success was in July 2022 and she's been out of sorts in four runs for current yard; hood is now removed and she needs a major revival back in trip. |

27th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All wins at up to 8.5f; ran respectably in first-time blinkers at Kempton (1m3f) most recently, while shaping as if this drop back in trip will prove ideal; possibilities off same mark in the retained blinds. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
3rd Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Turf/triple AW winner who is probably in slightly better form than her two runs at Wolverhampton this year might suggest; blinkered first time on this first attempt over 1m3f (stays 1m2f); has form figures of 122334 when partnered by Hollie Doyle in handicaps; could play a prominent role. |

Turf/triple AW winner who is better than she was able to show (denied room at a crucial stage) here last time; should go well back up in trip with capable apprentice back on board. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner (including here) who was on a long losing run until popping up in a Windsor classified (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; had previously looked a little unlucky when second in a similar event over C&D in March; chance. |
6/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Triple AW winner (1m) but his last success was in November 2021 and he's been well held in three runs since returning from a lengthy absence; mark is sliding but he was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time and needs to find more. |

14th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Blew the start when fifth of six over 1m here on his second outing back from an absence; not the easiest to assess but he is a potential class act for this grade and three of his four career wins have come here. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by half a length last week, taking C&D record to 11231; successful in this race for the last two years and commands respect, even under a 4lb penalty, kept to his ideal scenario. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (14) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid. |

6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner in February and creditable C&D third in May; none of his five runs on turf have yielded much, so perhaps his last three outings can be forgiven; the latest was in first-time blinkers; player if straight back to form now he's returned to Kempton. |
