3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110. |
11/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting. |

3rd 1 |
15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner on a sound surface last year; not as effective a hurdler (0-6), standout effort when second to a 10l winner in C&D maiden last month; stiff task on Flat latest; place claims back in maiden company but no easy task conceding weight. |

slowly away, took keen hold, towards rear, ridden and some headway over 2f out, weakened over 1f out |

9th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Came good for Rebecca Menzies at eighth attempt, keeping on well for clearcut success in slowly run contest at Newcastle (1m4f) last month; 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable, though. |

1st 2 (2) |
8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed record for new yard this year but he went close off a reduced mark over 1m2f here on penultimate outing; not so good over that same C&D 17 days later but overdid it up front that day and remains well treated on old form; ran creditably in one of his four attempts at 1m4f. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |
|

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time winner with form at this track; not far off his best RPR when second in a small field at Ascot (1m4f) and a steady pace was no good for his patient tactics when behind Great Bedwyn and Mrs Twig at Kempton two weeks ago; fair shout should this pan out more favourably. |
8/1 |
|
8 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Back in better form the last twice, runner-up at Ascot latest occasion; record of 2-6 on AW features a success (off just 1lb lower) in this contest 12 months ago; respected. |

30th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Did well last January-April over 1m4f on the Tapeta here and at Newcastle, and he returned from seven months off with a promising C&D performance (4-1) in December, not getting the best of runs; one to consider. |

14th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

Took his turf record to 0-6 when well held in a York Dante meeting handicap in May but he's a much healthier 4-9 on AW, including a win over C&D; big player if ready to roll after seven months off. |

9st 8lb |
Five wins at up to 1m4f but last three have been on AW and last turf win was 2022; finished placed twice on AW this season but he was last of five over C&D last month and was beaten 12l on that stable debut; opposable. |

Five-time winner; picked off by late arrivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) earlier this month and a day later changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales; could have further wins in him. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW scorer who has proved consistent, including on grass, since most recent success (in May); went close off this mark at Chester (good) on last turf attempt; in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on Polytrack in the spring and has continued to run well, most recently runner-up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack); that surface may suit better than Tapeta but he's not discounted here. |

A maiden after 11 starts but went close in first-time cheekpieces over C&D in November; hasn't built on that in two subsequent outings but might be worth one more chance back here. |

8 (7) |
9th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A maiden after ten starts but went close in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (1m3f) in November and was asked to make up a lot of ground in the straight when sixth over that C&D last month; high on the list. |

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here. |
