28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |

Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner who ran his best race in a while here a fortnight ago (1m2f, hit traffic late on); one of the likelier winners back to the usual blinkers from a visor and back up in trip. |
8/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Dual course winner over 1m4f; back off the same mark as for the latest last August but may find this trip sharp enough for him these days. |

7th 4 (11) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Brighton (1m4f, soft) last September but he's been out of sorts under both codes since including a remote fifth over hurdles at Plumpton last week; blinkers now return but he's 1-30 on AW and has plenty to prove back on the Flat. |

5th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run goes back two years; has mostly run over further for this yard but he's run respectably in defeat at about 1m5f of late and refitting cheekpieces could help, having run three of his best races in them. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at this track; won two 1m4f handicaps on AW two winters back; three minor honours last winter and a respectable show 12 days ago after 215-day absence; assuming he can build on that, he's in the mix. |
5/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Won two 1m4f handicaps off lowly marks in 2021-22 AW season but may be better suited by staying trips now and was out of form when last seen last spring. |

Hasn't always convinced with her stamina over longer trips since last December; may benefit from this return to 1m4f but comes with a degree of risk, being 0-19. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

Not solid on 2024 AW form; creditable second here on last turf appearance but this is a deeper field and she's an exposed-looking maiden (0-17); others preferred. |

Lightly raced and off since February 2024 but he won his second and third handicaps, at about 1m6f here and at Chelmsford, and he did good late work when upped to 2m at Lingfield when last seen; interesting contender. |

Won over hurdles in November but no Flat success since July 2018; 5lb lower than when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) in December, but well held in three starts (AW/hurdles) since; others more solid. |

His AW wins were all in 2017; won twice over hurdles in 2023 and penultimate start (Wolverhampton 2m) showed all is not lost on AW, but he ran poorly (14-1; made most) with blinkers reinstated over C&D one week ago behind two of today's rivals; others look a bit more solid. |

1-29, the sole win in 2021; had quite a few minor honours last year, including a close second over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in August off today's mark, but this month's first run for a new yard was a heavy defeat. |

In fine form early last year with back-to-back soft-ground wins in a rated chase at this venue and a Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); moderate fifth over hurdles on seasonal return; next two chase starts were uninspiring; kept on well for second over 2m6f here five weeks ago; this trip could help to bring out the best in him. |

In fine form over fences when last seen early this year with back to back wins at Punchestown (22.5f, soft) and a novice chase here in February (3m2f, soft); has won over timber and conditions fine for return; big chance if fit in first-time tongue tie. |
